Thread Name: How did you feel as a newbie on Mudcat?
Subject: RE: How did you feel as a newbie on Mudcat?
When you first started being a member of mudcat, how did it feel?
a little bit lost. Although in hindsight its reasonably well laid out, it took a while to find things ... and the links in the main page text are a bit unhelpful. I guess this is partly because I was there on recommendation from a friend ... and wasn't really sure why I was there!!!

Were you scared?
No .... but then the community is very passive .... and, apart from the chat, its easy to'lurk' (explore without contributing anything) without embarrassing yourself

Did it take a while to find your way around?
I'm still trying to find my way around. I've got the hang of the digital lyric thing and the chat .... but there's plenty more to find I guess.

Was it your first experience of being in an online community?
NO ... I've been in quite a few ... but this is the first that doesn't have a direct homogenous membership.
