Howdy!
The aforementioned fellows are often good men upon these forums, and you will likely encounter the same few depending on which threads you frequent. I myself tend to hang around in the Automotive threads more than anything, and there you will also meet M5Power and Joey D, as well as Toronado among others. We all (normally) get along quite well, although it may take a bit to get used to our sense of humor (and my usual pro-American, anti-Toyota automotive thoughts).
Other than that, I'd suggest poking around here too. We have a good bit of fun from time to time, and its a good way to get to know some of us who frequent the forums.
Other than that, we're all looking forward to having you around. Don't be shy. Most of us are nice...
(Which all reminds me: I should get my brother on here. Some of you have played with him on Forza 2...)
