Welcome to Newbies 101 Welcome to our group and we are glad that you have decided to join our family. Now that you are here you must be wondering what to do next. That is where this page comes in, where we try teaching "Newbies" the ropes. Are you trying to find that special love one or just looking for a few friends? Either way we are here for you to have a grand time. Now read below for a couple of steps on making your life a little easier in our group.  Ok, Please listen up, here is a few things that you need to do to get the ball rolling for you and hopefully we can answer some of your questions at the same time. Before we start I would like to see if you checked marked the correct settings when you joined us. Most new members who join MSN groups for the first time make the mistake of check marking the "New Cool Feature" for their e-mail settings. What that means is everything that is posted on this groups message board will go to your E-MAIL ADDRESS. So if you start seeing 200 to 500 E-Mail's a day in your inbox, don't blame us. Only you have the power to change your settings. To make it short and simple, click on this link "HERE" to change your E-Mail settings to "View on the web". 1.  Please take a moment and read the Love Pub Charter and Policie pages located on the top left part of the left navigation menu. 2.  After you have read our policies, I would like to suggest that you sign our Guest book for this group. 3.  Ok so far so good. So now lets try and post a profile in your area which could be in a State, International Country, or Canadian. Or we can use the general profiles under Men or Women.  Now you can leave up to 3 Profiles, so the more the better i always say so go ahead and spread them around a little. 4.  Now the time has come to upload a few pictures to the Photo Albums. There is nothing like getting a reply or doing a reply yourself when a person can picture you with your profile or posts. We have a very simple rule when it comes to posting your picture, and that is you need to post your pictures under the first LETTER of your user-name of this group inside the photo album. (Otherwise they can and will be deleted with or without notice to you by our Photo Album Elder) 5.  Ok the Guess book is signed... Your Profile and Picture is posted, so the next step would be to post a MSN Instant Messenger name or your AOL I.M. name in our Members MSN/ICQ numbers page if you like to chat when outside the group. 6.  Now to really get hot and get some action, click on the Half Moon Café link... that is our message boards. Pick a topic and post a message on with a catchy title or heading that will stand out, and attract the person you are looking for. We have quite a few topics to pick from, so please try to pick the correct topic that fits your subject. (Please do not forget to put your E-mail and/or the location of your profile if you posted one when making out a post looking for...) 7.  Alright, now lets head to the LIVE Chat Room. Look down the left navigation menu and click on the Cocktail Lounge. This is our chat room policies page and since we have one of the cleanest chat room on the net please read the rules before you join into the chat room. Remember not only can you could be kicked out of the chat room if you do not follow the policies, but also banned from the group. If you have questions while in the chat room, feel free to ask for a Elder or member to help you out. If someone is breaking the rules, feel free in letting us know asap so we can deal with the rule breaker. Sometimes you might go into the chat room when it is empty. DON'T LEAVE because you might miss someone coming in. Hang around and wait a few minutes Our most popular chat times is at night from 7 p.m. eastern to around midnight. Heck I even seen 19+ at 2a.m. but that isn't always the case then again everyone says that no one is there, but then again no one wants to make the first step....hehe. 8.  Now lets have some fun!!!     Now a few other things that you don't have to do right away but it will make your stay in the group more enjoyable is to add your birthday on our birthday page and post a picture on the message board to be rated.  Along with posting a "mini profile" which is also listed under that message board topic name. A lot of new members have said they don't know how to make a profile,or how to upload photos to the photo album or their profile page. So check out our "How do I" web page when you can.                   Do you have a question or comment? Just click above to E-Mail the Elders of this group, and we will try to handle your issue(s) as soon as possible.   This Page Last updated on June 21, 2004
