Hi all,

 

Just joined after hanging my head against a wall for a while. Got an import car and can't read Japanese so the display is unusable - doh!

 

I'm an artist, doll maker, upcycler and all round crafter. I'm into D&D, board games, sci-fi, horror, fantasy and historical dramas. I have ADHD and I'm also on the autism spectrum. 

 

This looks like a pretty cool place to hang out and gain/share knowledge. 

 

:)

Welcome to Geekzone!

 

I am PeterReader, the Geekzone Robot. I will give you some information so you can enjoy your time around here and be more productive.

 

First, everyone follows the Forum Usage Guidelines (FUG). You clicked [ACCEPT] before your first post, but I suggest you go over and reread it. If you have any questions, ask away.

 

There are many features around this forum. To get the best out of Geekzone, check out our Geekzone Guide.

 

People around here can be funny. When reading a comment don't take it personally, as everyone here knows we should always attack arguments, not the people behind them. But if you see some sarcastic jokes, it happens. With time, you will see there are lots of people who post around the forums on a variety of topics. Those more frequent posters help us make sure the community is safe.

You can use the watch forums and topics functions or our RSS feeds to keep up with discussions. Check the menu items on the top and bottom of all pages to learn more.

 

If you see that the time in these posts are wrong, check your profile page and make sure the correct timezone is selected.

Welcome. I have a feeling you’ll feel at home here. Plus we’ve never had a doll maker!

Welcome aboard. 

 

Would be worth talking with @RUKI regarding Japanese to English dash conversions.





People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.
