If you were supposed to get an email from the forum but didn't (e.g. to verify your account for registration), email Wes at stararmy@gmail.com or talk to me on Discord for help. Sometimes the server hits our limit of emails we can send per hour.
Welcome Silver! What you have stumbled upon is a very rich and creative universe that is as detailed and intricate as Star Wars or Star Trek. We're a relatively small but fun community and we're always excited to see new faces. A word of advice, don't get overwhelmed. There is a lot here. But this community is very helpful and will be happy to answer questions and talk through things. We want you to enjoy your time here as much as we do. So have fun and ask lots of questions.
