RPGTopia

I'm kinda (well very) new to this site. I originally joined because I was interested in the Isla Sorna RPG, but I've never RP'd before and have no idea where to begin. If someone could kinda give me a couple pointers to help me get started, it would be much appreciated. I just started getting into forums this year (and belong to 1 other, which I joined about a month ago) and have very little experience with them. Any comments, even of rather obvious things would be helpful to me.

Thanks.

welcome to the site. to avoid getting in trouble while rpging, simply follow the rules. to aviod getting in any other trouble, just read the site rules.

Number 1: Read the rules of an RPG CAREFULLY!
Number 2: If you think you need help, ask one of the veteran RPers!
Number 3: Get involved! Talk in the Off Topic Section, post often in the RPGs.

Ok. Definitely will do!

All I have to say is, thank god your not a spam bot!

We've been having a problem with them lately, so when I see a new member online, I'm very cousious.

Feel free to enter your ISS profile in the Isla Sorna Stories Profile topic, and post in the RPG itself

Just read the rules, please.

hye tt, is this site protected from hackers?

Believe me, you'll get used to it in no time!

I believe it is. Kp said he was looking into protection.

Pyronychus, KP is short for The Kingpin, our webmaster who created the site. You'll hear from him shortly

its hard to say how long kp is offline. sometime's he's online for a long time, other time's he's not.

no, it isn't, unfortunately. one thing a friend of mine once said is: anything you can see on your PC screen, can be hacked. but, as TT [Tyrannosaurus Titanus] said, i AM looking into protection now. anytime im on my PC and the site isn't running at top speed [like it is now], im checking my webhost's list of programs to see if i can find any protection programs...

i've had my pc hacked before. it was so annoying.

And there he is.

See how many people come to welcome a new member?

Just don't think we are some kind of group of wierd-os *shifty eyes*

Wow I didn't know so many people would respond so fast! Thanks everyone. And I'll try to remember your names, but my memory isn't too good for names.

Just remember KP, TT, and Cpt. Yuke, since they're the three major admins.

erc is an admin.

Woops, her too. And maybe the people who come on a lot, like me and iceking, for example.

Is erc eternal rocker chick? (sorry if thats obvious) I think I've seen JPOG dino skins made by (her?)


Also about the Isla Sorna RPG, I've read about 30 pages ,I think, but it will take a long long time to read all 160-some pages.

Edit: Do I need to read all the pages before posting?

yes, erc stands for eternal rocker chick.

You really just need to read recent events, since the earlier stuff may not be important to a new arrival.

Ya, you don't need to read all the pages. Just read them, if you want, on your own time. Just read recent events, as Dinoman said.
