Wow! there are so many new people coming on to this site all the time, it is amazing! Welcome, every one of you. I've only been around about a month, and I'm enjoying every second of it, wealth of info, everyone open to any questions you have, and lots of fun.
Nameko, Namekun - I'm not sure what advice you are asking for, if you are looking to meet people, try the personal ads section; if you have any specific questions, try the knowledge base: you can post specific questions there, as well as there being lots of information already in the posts. Other things - well, I recommend lots of browsing threads, and then don't be afraid to post questions you may have, you will find everyone truly willing and ready to be helpful.
That advice of course holds true for everyone!
