I just joined...what are some pointers from the veteran Mahalo members that will make my experience on this site rock?

Hi there and welcome to Mahalo :) Allow me to be cliché for a moment and say the number one thing I could tell a person about Mahalo Answers is that you will get out of it what you put in to it. The more effort one puts into asking the best questions and delivering the best answers the more good quality communication we will have and that is what makes our world go around. Number two would be to remember behind every avatar here is a real person with real feelings who is looking for something and all we want to do is help them get what they need and hopefully make a few friends a long the way.

The best bet here is to always remain positive, Mahalo Answers and the folks who come here change pretty frequently so we always have new faces to welcome and new features to explore. Number three would be to get involved, jump right in and answer a few questions and by all means ask a few too. Go and click a few links and explore, see what we have to offer you and then ask a few more questions :) A great initial resource here is our FAQ These will be helpful as well.
