WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS

First topic message reminder :

The two previous threads for this topic are either too big or gone off the rail. So a new thread is needed.

 Welcome, SirTK! Good to see you around !

Big welcome Hoppimike! At 28 you have loads of time to find all you want about your roots... Best wishes in doing so...

Welcome indeed Hoppimike,   

And may I say how refreshing it is that you took the trouble to give us a little synopsis of who you are and why you're here.  Of the now 109 members of this fine forum I know diddly squat about some 80 of them!     

I hope you make friends, find out lots and have a bundle of fun here.

Welcome Hoppimike! Enjoy!  

Thank you for the warm welcomes!

And yeah I wanted to explain a bit about myself - I never like just being a question mark!

And I am glad I am learning all this about myself while I'm still quite young... not that I really give much importance to ages, but it's nice to find out more about myself nice and early so I can meet more people like me hopefully and have more fun!

So erm, yeah, happy to meet all of you ^_^

Thanks Gala, just recently read a post on old site about this one and headed straight over - must say it looks great and seems a lot more relaxed than here.

someone should message the admin at the old site and congratulate them on the slaughter of the old community site in such short time period.

I agree that this is a good place that needs to grow in both membership and contents, but then... "Rome wasn't built in a day" and we will certainly need more than thahose 24 hours. 
As for the old forum (or community) I still feel sad about what happened, nut I guess that to "kill" it was a business decision and they must know what they are doing... hopefully.  On the other hand, the new Magazine is very interesting and better than before, so let's "give Caesar his dues". Still, I think that the Forum was a great contributor and it could have helped to further enhance the site...Perhaps we should consider creating our own magazine
 

Hi, just found this from the old site.  I wondered where everyone was.  Have missed the general chit chat and arguments from the other side, so looking forward to contributing my pennysworth whenever possible.

Welcome Molinello! Glad to see others are finding this place, shame more did not spot the move.... 

114 now!     

Welcome indeed Molinello (are you weaker or stronger than limoncello?!).

Welcome, Molinello. Glad to see that you found us. It may take some time, but I think that many others will finally come to join us.

I am definitely stronger than limoncello ghiro! So glad to have found you all again, looking forward to an interesting 2014 on here.

Welcome, Iritalia! Glad to see that you are joining us here. I am sure that I was not the only "oldie" who was missing you!  

ANother addition to our forum. A warm welcome to mozza!

And another new member! Welcome adanatonerdolum! (I hope I managed to maintain the original spelling   )

Yes welcome Adan... No way will it ever be your full handle  

A warm welcome to our latest member, ParliamoGlasgow/Jinty!

It is really good to see more of the names from earlier joining here, welcome to all and hope we can get this site as active and informative.  

Welcome one and all !

We are positively popular now with all these members ! I have to say, I recognise some of the old names from a previous time but certainly not all, good to have them all here!

I was certain that this was going to happen and that it was only a matter of time  

Thanks Gala for the welcome and thank-you to those who sent messages to me via other social media - they were 
very much appreciated. Hope I can contribute and receive lots of good advice as I try to establish my life in Italy.
