Welcome to SeeD, Peter!
Good to see you're trying to get involved in events, that can be a really fun way to spend some time. Another good idea is if you have any Messenger programs (MSN, AIM, YIM, etc.) to post your identities in them at the pinned topic at General Discussion, as well as adding everyone else to your list. The other way to chat to people is SeeD Chat, which is a part of
the SeeD Homepage.
If you need advice or help, just PM one of us (or that new SeeD Support team I've been hearing about, there is a pinned topic here in this board about that) and we'll gladly answer. You'll want to set yourself up an avatar and signature, but I'll leave that for someone else to explain. Oh and while you're new just check the description beneath each board before you post something, just to make sure you're putting it in the right place.
Oh and you'll probably want to check out Rylkans Insanity Board, good fun...
