If you clicked this you are most likely about register, or already have which is great! All that being said, here a couple tips you should include in your "Joining/Welcome" thread which will help other members to better understand you, your background knowledge about the amazing world of lasers along other important information about yourself
Your Name:
Name? Sounds pretty silly to make a welcome thread without including possibly the most important part of it, what people call you right? If you take a look at previous "Welcome" thread you'll see some newcomers you haven't included their name which is very important as it makes it a whole lot easier for members to address a person instead of writing out a full username(if they wish to call someone in this manner) plus it also shows more respect toward yourself/others So, Include your name!!
Your Age:
Again, listing your age seems like common sense, but along with the name has been omitted from some newcomer's welcome threads. Why would knowing my age be so important? Simple answer, safety! Some members who build lasers on LPF will refuse to sell any laser capable of causing harm to yourself or others due to the responsibility they will bare if you do not meet a certain age requirement(most is 18 years old).
Your Location:
Now, location(which may sound creepy at first) actually isn't. Nobody is going to come over to your state or city and try to find you, instead it helps members know your whereabouts and better help you if you need to ship items or are looking for a member/lasers nearby! Really, it's all in your best interest so add it!!!
Your Previous Experience With Lasers:
Now this one is just for fun and interest. As this is a laser hobby, duh, members love to hear about newcomers experience/knowledge about lasers, even not having any experience/knowledge is fine, just have fun with it.
Interests? Why you joined?:
Again, around here we love to hear about what other people's interests are and even meet people with similar interests or hobbies so including it will make people around here happy! Also, why did you join? Was it just because? Did you want to join to because a members of this amazing hobby? Were you forced to? Again, We want to know!!
If you've read through everything congrats! Including all the following information(dosen't need to be long) is a good way to start your long life on the forums and honestly, dosen't having a strong welcome thread sound better then......
"Hey, my name is *** and I joined because I want a burning laser, where can I find one?" See?
I hope you found this helpful and we'll see you around the forums :wave:
