General Chat / Re: New/Returning Members Post Here!

To be honest these forums being empty is what made me want to create an account. I originally wanted to make an art blog in the fan creations sub-form, but I guess I need to post more before I can create a thread lol. Thinking back on it now a month later it seems dumb, but at the time the idea of setting up camp in a secluded corner of the internet and posting Mario fan art there appealed to me. I still kind of want to do it so I might end up hanging around here more. Besides, the length of time between replies gives everything a more laid-back feeling imo.

(likes idea of this "feeling")
