Hello all, I've been here before, but it was so long ago that I barely remember, so I figure that another introduction is in order. I am in my mid 30's, bi-gendered (i think that's the right term, I'm happy to be corrected if needed), currently female, and honestly, having a minor panic attack writing this. This will mark the first time that I've talked to anyone outside of my housemates about any of this, and I'm spooked, even knowing that this forum is a safe space. I look forward to the opportunity to make friends and learn.
Notmymane.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome back to Empty Closets! I hope that we can help you in any way. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! We're very glad that you came back to us here on EC and hope that we can answer questions, give you support and provide a place to vent (as long as it's not violent!) when that becomes necessary! *****Just as a reminder, there are 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out and join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation. When you have made at least 10 posts on various threads you will be able to post messages on a member's Profile Page. Just click on a member's Avatar Picture and then click on "Profile Page" in the dialogue box that pops up. You'll then be on their Profile Page and there will be a box that says: "Write Something" When you have been on EC for a few weeks and have made at least 50 posts on various forums, you can apply for Full Membership. A Full Member can send Private Messages (PM) to other Full Members and share personal contact info. Right now you can only send a PM to a Staff Member as that is always possible. Here is a quote from the Full Membership information forum: *****To be eligible you must be a member of Empty Closets for a minimum of two weeks, and have a minimum of 50 posts. These posts must be across numerous forums (Fun & Games does not contribute to post count), and consistently posted across a minimum of two weeks. You wouldn't be eligible, for example, if you registered, had no activity for two weeks, and then returned to post 50 times on your 14th day of membership. *****Well, as I said, we're very glad you chose to come back! If you have any questions at all, you can always send me a Private Message. .....David
