The Introduction Thread

[Sunflower]

Metallurgy was directed training at the university. We have free higher education, and you can choose what you are interested. Work really go to where they pay more.

I would like to engage in metallurgy - it's very interesting, but the conditions are not quite allow it.


But recently we traveled to another country. The total journey took 5100 km.


And what did you do this summer?

Hi, Slider.  Unfortunately, our Forum software can't display your picture.  (It may be because of the Cyrillic characters in the address, or merely that it can't recognize the host.)

Do you have another host you can upload the picture to?  Otherwise, I suggest imgur.com, which can give photos links perfectly suited for BBCode (what this Forum uses). 

Also, what inspired your Forum nickname?

EDIT:  Slider, I moved the next 6-8 posts, with your photos and reactions to them, to the Pictures thread, starting here:  https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=215.msg66266#msg66266
You are already developing fans of your photography, so we hope you'll share more pictures in that thread.

Ok ok I moved there =)

Well! I've been lurking around for long enough. And I was suggested to come to the introduction board so I did.

Hi, I'm Cerberyusu, "Ryusu" in short, or "Cerb" or "Erb", I don't know, just play around with it. Cerberyusu is my penname and the name I mostly use around the internet.

I was a lurker because I actually enjoy reading comments and threads more than making an input of my own. I'm shy-ish.

I'm an amateur artist myself, studied conceptual art and 3D-modeling for videogame-characters. Otherwise I'm self-taught pretty much. In other words, Internet taught me everything.

I believe quite genuinely it's Minna's artwork got me into the things I do now. Arts and stuff. I discovered her work around 2006 I think, and I've been a silent admirer since. Now I'm a forumite. What an upgrade!

By the way, great job with the forum. It's clear in design and the threads are great!

Welcome Cerberyusu A cookie ? A cookie We are have a lot of shy persons here, but it's internet magic : everybody find a place to speak or not, and you'll see, we're lucky to have a really nice and kind forum.

[eyjafjallajoke]

Welcome Cerberyusu! Aaha, I understand your feeling shy. I am usually kind of a shy person myself.

But we're glad you decided to come here! Have fun.

Also, I agree, everyone I've met here so far is very kind and helpful.

Welcome, Cerberyusu!  (I'm afraid I kept spelling your handle "Cerberus" because I'm a mythology geek.  )

Thanks for the kind words about the forum.  Much of the credit goes to its creator and head admin, Eich.  He laid it out and set its ground rules of courtesy and respect. 

Eriaror had a major role in its look-and-feel update (as well as a lot of the nifty new features), and admins/moderators Kjeks and Hushpiper do a ton behind the scenes to keep the Forum working smoothly, both technically and policy-wise.  Feartheviolas and I mostly focus on content moderation, and in the short time Viola's been a moderator she's already done a ton of great things, like cataloging all the Forum fan-art.

The actual thread content is due to the incredible talents, range of interests, and expressiveness of our members -- and I'm glad you're now one of their number!  Have fun on the Forum!

A few helpful people pointed me to the introduction thread back when I first posted on the art museum, but I completely forgot to until just now! whoops. I hope it's not too late??

Hi! My handle is shoop, but you can also call me jessie. I'm hoping to become an illustrator/graphic designer but unfortunately I'm still in the process of switching over majors, so I will probably be 'that person who dumps art/fic and runs b/c they have three papers due'. What else...I really love english lit/history/music, and I'm so used to large fandoms sparking wars that I am still gingerly navigating the forum. Y'all are lovely, I just am not used to so many nice people in one place on the internet, haha.

Welcome, all ye new people! Have you been squirrel-cookied yet? 'Cause if not:

Hello and welcome! :｡･:*:･ﾟ'☆ It's nice to have a formal introduction. Definitely will look forward to your art dumps. A lot of people here share your interests, so I bet you'll fit in great!

I understand what you mean entirely. Take your time. We won't eat you. ;p

Hi, hello, welcome! And I definitely see what you mean about the fandom thing, but as Yuuago said, you can trust us not to eat you.

And about those people that share some interests with you, I am one of them.
