(Not a furry fan? That's cool. You're still welcome here.)
I figured I'd take a moment and write up some suggestions for making an effective introduction on this site, to help us get to know you better, and help you discover what a bunch of weirdos we are get to know us better!
Why should I make an intro post?
Like I just indicated, we're a community of people who all know and interact with each other. We'd like to interact with you, too. In order to do this, we all need something to talk about. 
What should I cover an intro post?
Start by telling us a little about yourself:
- Do you work or go to school?
- Do you have any hobbies or interests?
- Tell us how you found furry, and what parts of furry interest you?
- Do you write, draw, or fursuit?
- Have you attended one or more conventions?
- Do you run any conventions? 
Are pictures okay?
If you feel comfortable posting a picture of you in real life or of your fursona, feel free to do so.
Do we have to live IN Pennsylvania?
It's not mandatory, but it helps! For more info on this topic, see our Who Is Welcome Here? page.
Do we have to be furry to post here?
No, that's cool if you're not. If you're "furry friendly" or just curious about the fandom, you're welcome to participate here.
Anything I shouldn't mention?
Keep in mind that these are all-ages forums. If there's something you wouldn't want to say around the 12-year old son of the local police chief, you probably shouldn't post it here.
What is the soup of the day?
New England Clam Chowder.
Ditto, He's a great and a really resouceful guy, I need to thank him in 2016, Hopefully in 2012.
You guys sure you're talking about the right leopard?
I like to drink and watch videos like this:
I am watching this at 06:50 am here, And I see why you drink Giza, You would have to be drunk to watch this.
*Alowl strangely looks at Giza.*
And for Sure, They were Stoned.
Where should I post an intro? Just in the General discussion forum?
Thanks!
Jen
That or Annocement, I think that's how it is spelt.
Either is fine.
General Discussion is fine. Or you can make a blog post, too.
It's all the same to the software. The What's New? page shows everything that's new, regardless where it was posted.

Giza there are alot of things i would not say near a 12y/o who's dad is the police chief. i would preferably stay away for the kid lol you never want to get on his bad side. i know 2 chiefs and they are bad ass cops one is declaring war on drugs in the town east of me and the other is to my town and declared war on curfew (that i dont have but i get bothered by it)

Hi I'm Birdie!!
I recently moved up here from Delaware and into a house of fellow friends and furs up in York 
I'm a Gryphon (phoenix/siberian tiger) and have a few pics on my FA page, also commissoned a partial by Wolfbird of her. 
I work in Lancaster and soon to be attending HACC here in York in the near future. I am a gamer girl, though these days I mostly play World of Warcraft and various games I dig up from Big Fish Games. Umm ... I'm bad at describing myself ... but feel free to shoot me a message and I will answer the best I can.

Hiya everyone the name is calvin fang crimsoncrest and I was wondering if any of you furs live near oxford, jennersville or even kennet square pa ^^ hit me up so we can hang out !!!
Hello and Welcome Calvin!
You'll want to post this up in the "Introduction's" forum.
At the top of the webpage, almost in the middle, you'll see in a deep purple rectangle, "Events Forums, Search WAT?"
Click on "Forums" and it will take you to the list of forums you can peruse and post to. Click "Introductions."
At the top you'll see "Post new Forum Topic." Click on that and copy and paste what you have here, there, in a new post.
Most everything else is self explanetary, but don't forget to put "Introduction" and "New" in the Tags. If you don't put anything in the Tags, it won't let you Post. It's a weird little quirk. 
Welcome again!

Ummm...is this where I make an introductory post or do I have to make a new "thread" to do so?
If you want the most visibility, the recommended practice is to make a new thread. That way, we can promote it to the front page of the site.
I suck at writing intros, and i'm still trying to make my sound good...
stay classy ;]
