A Most Hearty and Sincere Welcome to All
A Most Hearty and Sincere Welcome to All
This article was first posted on the Newsvine Refugees group a few years back when the Newsvine system was changed, not to the liking of many of its members, and many of them emigrated to here. It is being posted again as it is as relevant now as it was back then.
A most hearty and sincere welcome to all NV refugees and other new members. Many of you have suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous Comcast and taken arms against the sea of troubles they imposed upon you and here you are, among many of your existing friends and new friends to be made. I learned years ago that to remain sane one should choose between fight and flight, and since we are not Davids against the corporate Goliath here, flight was the wiser choice.
Speaking as one of the original NewsTalkers on behalf of those of us who have been here from the beginning, we are extremely happy that you have chosen to join us on this " road less traveled" . Its okay to have vented your resentment of what has been done to you - its a healing process, but then it will be time to look around and learn what has been waiting for you here.
You probably know by now that you're able to personalize your home page in many ways, but what is important for you NOT to miss is to browse through the many groups by clicking on the GROUPS link on the opening page. You will discover various groups (not Nations) of different topics, surely including one, if not some, of your interests. Join as many as you wish, Youre NOT limited to 15, and you will find friends old and new on most every one. If none fit your interests, its easy to start a group of your own, although It would be better for everyone including yourself if you do not duplicate what another has done.
Scroll back in them to see what's there. I, for one, have been posting articles on the Classic Cinema group (which I orginally started on Newsvine) for nearly a year and a half [now in 2017, for a few years]. You have already taken the plunge. Now its time to swim.
I apologize for spamming this everywhere that I could, but I really wanted as many people as possible to see it. [NewsTalkers Resident Advisor had posted a welcome article but it seems to have disappeared. I'm sure she will repost it in the morning.]

As my hippie friends back in the 60s used to say: "Keep on truckin'"
"Keep on Truckin' "
I know a woman who has this tattoo on her foot.
You mean like this, Wheel?
Have you checked out the groups yet?
Thanks. I'm one of the recently migrated NV refugees. I hope to find the same sense of community here that we had there.
Welcome. There are excellent groups that share a sense of community, and they are of every stripe imaginable.
Sit down, stay a while and have fun!
