this forum is one of the most welcoming, and funny forums I've ever been on. Most of the time you go to a forum and try and break the ice and they either ignore you are bat you around cause you're new(at least in my exp. not here though. In the first week I was given a short intro to C++ and had many questions asked, as well as partook in an iteresting conversation on my fav. subject(religion). this site/forum rocks!
