<p>I completely agree with you there, it's definitely the people that make these boards great. I've browsed a lot of other D&D boards and never really had to urge to post or get involved, just scoure them for house rules, etc. But the Paizo boards are different, and I do think the term "community" is accurate. </p>

<p>There's a lot of introductions going on around here, so I thought I'd get in on the action. I'm a chronic lurker, often reading messageboards but rarely posting. I don't know why that is exactly, but those days are (hopefully) over. The Paizo community is one of the friendliest I've ever seen, and the staff response and interaction on the messageboards is just amazing. I can no longer sit back and watch while Pathfinder is created! I must get involved! I feel like this is a community where people like us can really be heard and make a difference to the world Paizo is creating.</p>
<p>Agognon, my story of coming to Paizo is quite similar to yours. I think a lot of people have come out of the woodwork after the announcement. Welcome fellow newcomers and ex-lurkers. Thankyou to Lady Lena for starting this thread, and giving us all somewhere to introduce ourselves. And of course, congratulations on your wedding, Taliesin!</p>
<p>I've written a bit about myself in my profile, so if you're interested, you can check that out. I hope to have a good time here at the Paizo community, and I look forward to becoming a part of it :)</p>Hi :)
