Jester Here

Hey, I'm Jester and I'm a bit squeamish around new people. I'm just so used to being hated and insulted that people being nice is hard to get used to, but I've been working on it. I'm genderqueer and my parents aren't very happy about that fact. Since they seemed fine with people being gay, I told them that I'm pansexual. It took them a while, but they decided to not hate me for that, so then I told them that I'm genderqueer. They weren't too happy about it, but they haven't kicked me out yet. Don't even get me started on when I told them that I don't believe in God (I'm surprised I haven't gotten kicked out for that yet). Anyway, I'm really excited to be here. I found this website through pokefarm, which is filled almost completely with nice people and I hope that this website has just as many if not more nice people. Well, I guess that's enough from me for now. I don't want to turn this post into the start of a novel or something.

Hey! Nice to meet you 😸 I'm sorry you've been treated that way ): I hope you get used to feeling accepted, because everyone here is amazing. If you need anything, feel free to ask me or some other kind folk (they're everywhere).


Remember that you're awesome and special in your own ways, and that being different or weird to other people is why makes you as cool and amazing as you are 😸

@jesterfretka - Welcome to Egg Cave! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

If you are replying to someone, you should ping them. Otherwise, they won't know that you've done so. To ping someone, either click the bell icon under their username in the forums, or type an @ followed by their username (e.g. @sparklefox ). You can only ping up to five people per post.

Checking out the Forum Rules and the Site Guidelines would be an easy way to start. Other useful links are the FAQ and eCode.

A common mistake from newbies is that they'll ping and reply to people using their own wall. Pinging does not work out of forums and the blog, and to reply to people's comments you go to their wall instead.

I apologise if you knew any of the above information already.

Aw, don't worry. We're very friendly here. I'm sure you'll find no one here who will decide that it's a great idea to hate and insult you for such a pointless reason.
