Welcome to hive! I’m glad that you’re in here with us, it’s a wonderful place to be, especially for people who are good with computers like you seem to be!

I’m glad that Valchiz got you on here, I’ve talked with him off and on for a little bit so I know who you’re talking about!

I think if you jump into the communities, you will easily be able to find people to connect with!

One of the things I wanted to do is give you a piece of advice that could make this place awesome for you! Talking with some of the people who have been here for a while, we remember one of the best things we did was find other people’s posts through others or go looking and start commenting meaningful things. If you drop small phrases it won’t get you much attention but if you look at a persons post and leave a great comment, a lot of times they will appreciate it and talk with you. If you continue to do this you will develop a friendship with them and will gain followers and grow your account. This is not an easy and fast process. It takes time but the more effort you put in the more you can be rewarded, with limitations of course.

I just say this in hopes you go out there and really connect with people and grow your account. The more we all do this, the more people will come here to take advantage of such a great place.

There’s also a great article that can answer a lot of the questions you may have. Please visit it at:

We’ve also got another beginner zone, so-to-speak that has lots of important information you can learn from. Check it out at:
