Since I have become a new member, are we supposed to post new topics in the Shallows area as to our thoughts, questions, opinions etc? I see that everyone just introduces themselves and nothing more. When I login, the Shallows is the only forum available on the page. I'm guessing that the Shallows is our only avenue to post. Please correct me if I misunderstand the process here. I understand that several posts are requested from members to show their true intentions, so I'm guessing that the Shallows is the place to do it?
Thanx, jleal

The shallows is the first, and only place to post for new members - it gives people a spot if they have something pressing, or if I/we are unsure of them. An intro is the basic requirement. I manually approve every member's access beyond the shallows. Keeps the stream clean, so to speak.

The "formal" explanation is here (http://www.smallstreams.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=298).

... but let's get to the point.

Your view of the site is different now. :) If not, clear your cache.

Patiently twiddling thumbs and looking around non-chalantly :lol: Mutters to himself, "Sure hope that 'gstrand' feller checks the newbie postings often so I can get out of the "shallows" and in to the deep water with the big boys and girls!" :cool:

I can appreciate wanting to keep spammers and other riff raff out. I look forward to swimming in deeper waters! ;) :D lol
