grim i use my everyday email. Whew. glad of that. I just verified my email account. So What do I do now?

@ValleyKat Did you read the rules and agree? Once you have done that step you can begin posting and earning rank. After 8-10 postings you move to Level 1

After you reach Level 1 you can the join the live call in shows if you wish

@tattered flag valleykat has already reached level 1 just by talking here in the help desk, which is all well and fine 👍

@ValleyKat nothin more to do but join in the conversations. if your looking for where to post? dyno bot has some suggestions

@Deleted User Okay Dokey just trying to help the new people get rolling. Kind of a slow evening tonight

I appreciate your assistance

ik no worries, glad for you, i appreciate **your** assistance! lol!

Thanks

i am honestly pleasently surprised at how much time you put in helpin out round here, never expected it,

try not to get burned out though, itss always wise to take breaks even if its for a day or two or 3 or w/e, whenever your starting to get frustrating or annoyed or whatever, itll happen eventualy, take a break then or risk becoming burnt out. ive seen it enough times to know its a real risk with running servers

I take it nice and slow and I am aware of the burn out factor and how devastating that can be. Mostly I focus on the evening when the Live Shows are asking for callers. Seems that is when we get most of our new people

yup i agree

When I first came into Discord I was so lost it wasn't funny. I made a vow with myself that if I ever had the chance to helpothers navigate this Discrd desert I wold try to help them along the path

I get some sort of odd enjoyment out of helping new people and hearing their reaction when the light bulb comes on for them. I do take breaks most of the morning

The fishing is about to pick up and I will be out to the lake in my boat soon. Looking forward to that adventure

lol i know that feeling i was also overwhelmed by this server when i first started paying it mind way back when.
its even more channels now lol.

i think i have a solution to some of that, i intend to setup an 'opt-in' process to make most channels invisible so this place looks less cluttered to new joiners. but its an endevaor so im putting it off

the great proscrastinator

i miss fishing

been over a decade

Shame on you for allowing a decade of no fishing

ikr

it would help if i still had any of my fishing gear, i dont think i can even afford a rod right now

Sad to say that it has been about that long for me as well. I was busy taking care of elderly in laws and that took up all of my free time

i should go to some garage saless maybe i can find a cheap rod that way

Thanks Tattered flag. I will take any help that is offered me. I verified my email . I think i agreed to rules and regulations. checking now.

Give me your address and I will mail you a rod. I have more than I can count and can only fish with 2 at a time here in Colorado

@ValleyKat Congratulations you are n your way

on

lol seriously?
the cost of shipping alone is probly whatd cost to find one at a yard sale. maybe, if im lucky, lol

Let me know I am not kidding I will mail you one with a decent reel to. Just let me know if you are going off shore or fishing freshwater

Both of my brothers have passed away and I got all of their gear as well

I have nough rods to outfit a head boat

i like river fishing, freshwater.

never liked big bodies of water fishing. lakes oceanss etc. it was just so boring to me cause you cant see anything.,

but in a river idk maybe i just liked the sounds of the river lol

probly also causee i hate being in boats

lol

Me too and I love trout fishing for that reason. Love the sound of the water rolling past the rocks and splashing noise it makes

i wanna go fishing with you now look what youve done!~

lol

I live on a bluff that overlooks the Arkansas River
