Hi PacificNW_ChristianGuy!
Here’s a little something put together to help you out...

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Maybe you’re an old-hand at Internet discussion boards, but in case you’re somewhat overwhelmed, now might be a good time to take a peek at the FAQ which will explain a lot of things here at CF. [/FONT]

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]You probably read the Terms of Service you agreed to when joining, but now might also be a good time to read through the Rules. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]They might seem long, but it may help make your stay smoother to somewhat familiarize yourself with them. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]They’ll tell you where and when one can post what, like, posting images (after 100 posts), restrictions on some particular forums (by age, gender and such), how to get or earn blessings (sort of our CF money) for a CF character or pet, ‘armor’ (clothes for your character), games and such, the Private Message (PM) system. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]You require a 100-post-count before your allowed to Private Message. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]If someone messages you or sends you blessings you can reply however. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]*More on Blessings near the bottom. CF is a huge place and we want you to feel welcomed and enjoy us.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Here are just a few forums that might be helpful in starting to explore the place. [/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The links are found on the HOME page[/FONT]

[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]And if you are looking for things to do besides posting, you can ...click on [/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]"Christian Forums"[/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] in upper left hand corner to see a full list of forums. I hope these links are helpful to you.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]About Blessings:
Blessings are used here to do things like get a character, changing your Signature or Avatar, and getting "armor" Clothing for your character, even a Pet, and to buy the pet food to feed it daily. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Blessings are used like money here.
Every time you post you get blessings as well.

Same with the "Bank" you can put blessings in the bank and go once a month to collect interest. Each time you deposit or withdraw blessings the timer gets reset for another week.

There is a fun area here called [/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Blessing Exchange[/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif], where people play different games to earn more blessings in larger amounts.

[/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]To get a character, go to the top, right corner of the Home Page, and see [User CP] next to [Home]? Click on [User CP] (that stands for User Control Panel). Scroll down a little bit and on the lefthand side click Edit Avatar. On the next page, click Living Avatar--and then decide if you want to Edit Avatar (your character) or Purchase Items. You will need to select a body, hair, eyes, lips, and eyebrows/facial hair for your character to be seen. I personally chose to show my CF Angel wings, but you can choose whatever works for you!

You might find it helpful to look in our [/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Welcome Center [/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]where we have topics like "New Member Intros", "For New Christians" and "Christian Forums How-To?" all to answer some of your questions and help you get around.

Finally, you might want to look in the [/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Life Stages[/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] forums to find a group that fits you. I'm in the Women's Discussion, Parenting, and Marriage Ministry, and there's a life stage there to fit YOU!
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Have a happy journey here at CF and feel free to contact the New Member Intro forum moderators or other Staff, or the CF Angels with any questions. We are volunteers here and may not always have ready answers, but are filled with patience and kindness and will usually point you in the right direction and are intent on being helpful to your concerns.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The quickest way to reach one is to left click on our name and then look for their Private Message (PM) link (once you have 100 posts, unless one of us PM’s you then you can reply). Prior to the 100 posts you can post a “Help Needed” message in that forum area and one will message you. [/FONT]

Hope this quick rundown is of some help! ​

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Feel free to write any moderator (in any forum) at any time, if you have any other questions.[/FONT]

Sorry, I suppose my post wasn't aexactly helpful, but at least Little Flower gave you loads of info.

Yeah, I live in the city right on a very busy main road, though at least there's a park opposte.
I much prefer to live in a more rural place as we did for a few years, but still, can't be helped.

Hope you're finding your way round here now

 

[EazyMack]

I lived in Federal Way from ages 0-1!

I don't remember it, but I hear I tore up that town.

 

[Alive4Evermore]

[PacificNW_ChristianGuy]

Thank you, ((((Alive4EverMore)))). *claps* Oh, ok... cool. Actually, your posts are absolutely quite helpful, Tansy... and everyone else. tyvm. I appreciate the pointers. *points* lol
Yeeeea,h the city is nice... but i really miss the country. theres just something about being miles away from home, you know? *sigh yeh, im sorta findin my way around here tho ok, i suppose. <<< still just a n00b. lol

Really, Eazy, is that so? how interesting. yeh... i like it alright here in F-Way, aside from the constantly bad weather. But like i said above, i miss the California countryside a whole lot more. << Bev' Hillbillly

So anyway... I humbly submit-- think im just gonna leave this here now, and it'll be my last post for this particular thread, sincei *think ive obv. already made more than enough of an intro for myself, by now? i truly apologize. buuuuut... im sure that ill see y'all around the forums. ok? ok then... thank you very much for your warm welcomes. Gbu all. *hugs everyone* Ciao!
