It is so wonderful that so many have joined and not just joined but come back and posted and participated. It makes me happy to know that there is a sense of community still about and people want the same. Thankyou so much for understanding that is what my heart was intending when I got this place going together with Robyn (Rivergirl) and a the support of John and DJ and Anthony Violi.

Anyhow enough of the love fest. Welcome aboard and yeah I hope that you all just learn to love the place over time, despite the fact it has less bells and whistles than WZ.

Hi, this is james from the WZ forums, i used to be "st arnaud" then "ringwood east" and now "boronia" hehe

nice to see this forum and it doing so well, the only grip i have is that the color isnt that wonderful for my eyes, and the text is a lot fainter color so its hard to read....perhaps whomever manages the site can fiddle with some new skins that are more friendly on the eye and load a bit faster.

But otherwise its great to be here

James

Leasy Thu Jun 25, 2009 2:24 pm

Hi Guys!

Just saw this topic (how did I miss this??)! Thanks Johnoo for linking me to the site, I was wondering why the regulars over at WZ weren't posting as much anymore - I now have my answer!

Great to see your here Karl, I missed your valued input.

Anyways, I'm Elise, was Leasy on the WZ forums, and rather than confuse people, I have kept to the same username. I'm not that weather savvy, however, I do feel a lot more comfortable here already, so you'll be seeing some more posts from me. Wink

Not too sure if anyone really 'knows' me all that well, I've been with Weatherzone for a few years, but didn't post much as I felt that there wasn't much for me to contribute - and also being afraid of being shot down in flames due to my limited knowledge on the weather.

Anyway, enough of my babble, I'd just like to say I'm happy to be here and see the old regulars from WZ comment on this new forum. Very Happy

**Rivergirl** Thu Jun 25, 2009 2:36 pm

Hi Leasy, welcome Smile

Don't be afraid to post, we are all here to share and learn and no matter how knowledgeable you are as you get older you find out you know less and less Wink

I'm sure many people missed Karl's input and hillybillys, so it's wonderful to see them here. This is a great little community so post away Smile

**Johnno** Thu Jun 25, 2009 2:52 pm

Your welcome Leasy Very Happy

Feel free to post anything and anytime you want in here we are all in the same boat here and are all learning. Glad you like it Smile

hope to see more posts from you

Leasy Thu Jun 25, 2009 4:10 pm

Thanks for the reassurance guys! I'll definitely endeavour to post more on these forums, you guys are really a friendly bunch, and yeah, I'm still learning, but we have gotta start somewhere right? Cool

Expect to see a lot more observations and questions. Wink

**Karl Lijnders** Thu Jun 25, 2009 5:18 pm

It is great to have you here Elise and feel reassured that this is a place that you can be comfortable posting anything.

Looking forward to your pics and contributions.

Power Storm Thu Jun 25, 2009 5:55 pm

G'day Elise.

Just letting you know that when I first joined the Weatherzone forums I felt the same way. I had some knowledge about weather forecasting and meteorology, but not a lot, and I always worried if someone would whinge about me posting with limited knowledge. But, it was guys like John and Karl and Anthony, Andrew and many more (the guys/gals on this forum) that welcomed me back then and still do. They have taught me so much since I have known them and I cannot thank them enough! Wink

Keep the posts going Elise. Smile

Jake.

norfolk Mon Jun 29, 2009 5:31 pm

Power Storm Mon Jun 29, 2009 9:33 pm
