Seeing as someone else gave you the all-important-and-need-to-know resources already, I guess I'll just say...

Welcome to SG! 🥳

Congrats on your first GA! Welcome to the SG community!

Hallo! Welcome to SG and I hope that you enjoy it here! I really like your username.

Welcome to SG 😊

Hi New Here!

Welcome to the community :)
You'll see, if there's any problem people will help you out fast and good. Of course there are also some toxic people around (it's the internet), but you'll step through it. Have fun & enjoy it. I am looking forward seeing you active in this community :)

Welcome!

I would add yet another +1 to the suggestion of joining the "Unlucky 7" group (once you qualify). It's a great way to get your first few wins on the site.

thanks for all the kind welcomes and useful information - i hope to enjoy my time here and make lots of new friends and enjoy making plenty of giveaways
