What's up everyone

 !  What Up!!! 
More to the point what's dropping!!! 
Seriously now, just wanted to give a friendly shout to "the community" as another newbie 

 on the field.  It took me awhile to commit *due to privacy concerns) but I finally broke down given all the scams and "unpleasant experiences" these past few years (yes 

 years). 
It is my hope I find friendships 

 and partners in crime 

 who understand when you have a need, you just have a need.  
  
Being a "newbie" any advice on becoming "established" is greatly appreciated.  I am familiar with the "newbie 

friendly" providers and yes, they are on my list 

. 
But I am looking for info on moreso on the what not to do, as opposed what to do: reputation is everything, no.
Until then,...happy entertaining to everyone.
