Hey there and welcome to the site. You'll notice that our staff all have their own thread, welcoming you here and telling you something about them. In this, our sixth year as a forum; we're really focusing on improving and growing our community.
We'd like for you to join us, of course.
As you've read, this is our sixth year as a forum. You may have guessed that The Menagerie is my brain child and it's always been known as The Menagerie (though we did have other attached names and such). I tend to lose track, but we've been through a handful or incarnations now and systems and each time, we've had a unique setting and game system. Prior to forums, I operated and played in IRC based rp chat rooms.
That said, I still get excited about the prospect of new talent. Some of our members have been with me since... well for ten years really and I can tell you that there's rarely a better group of people to make friends with. We're not 'cliquey' or so tight knit that we shrug off new players and really, are always keen to help new players learn the ropes. Please, don't dive into the rules and game stuff as there's a lot there and take me at my word when I say this - it's a lot simpler than it looks. This game is based on freedom, ease of play and most of all, fun.
I've seen a lot of people come and go in my time. I remember most everyone fondly but more than that, I cherish those who are still with us. I hope that you'll find yourself at home here and stick around for the long run.
Oh. I'm supposed to say something about me.
Well, I could be living in my Mum's basement with a stupid long ponytail and living on nothing but Cheetos and Mountain Dew, whilst surfing the internet for the next barely clad anime figuring to add to my collection.
Or you know, I might be pretty normal. I'll let you decide. And yes, I live in Australia. That's why you'll find me on at the oddest times.
Enjoy!
