New Person

Hello, my name is Kieran and I tend to use pet sites as a way of dealing with my anxiety. Some days I'm very, very active and others I'm quieter as a result.

I'm a fan of plants, cats, books, and mugs of tea. Probably a bit older than the usual user base (I could be wrong obviously, it's just a guess) but I mean no harm and generally keep to myself.

Thanks for having me and best wishes to everyone's eggs and pets.

@khimairan - 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.

Haha, don't worry about being quieter. I know the feeling with anxiety. I'm trying to be more social on here, and am currently failing...

Anyway, I just love the names you've given to your creatures. Your username is great, too.

@sparklefox - Thanks! I will try and do so, it looks like things are set up very nicely here.

I didn't know that, so I definitely appreciate the information. Forums have always been a little frightening to me so I never got well-versed in their function. Thank you for letting me know how things work with pings and replies.

It's a bit rough but we do our best, and thank you! I try to make something individual for each of them so I appreciate the compliment. ^^

Welcome to Egg Cave, I think you have the basics down. It's nice to have you here!

Hi. I'm new as well. Probably not the most steady gamer, but I go through cycles of high attention. I will try to log in every day. I will try to click all my friends creatures to feed them.
