^^ But I hate doing a cold entrance even more xD

I'm Bee and I'm a third year EE student at some school in Canada. The main reason I'm posting this is just to throw out there that I feel pretty over my head here (haha) but I've been lurking for months and I'm hoping that maybe I'll learn some stuff by actually participating :) Soooo wish me luck?

Thanks for the welcome, guys :)

And waht, my favourite part of that whole thing was in http://xkcd.com/730/" when he said in the alt-text that he had just nerd sniped himself trying to figure out the resistor mass in it xD I'm not going to lie, since that comic came out, I've spent the entire time waiting for it to be sold as a poster, haha.

Welcome to PF. I don't understand why you feel guilty, but I empathize with your feelings of being in over your head.

What is an intro thread?

An intro thread is a post or message in a forum or online community where a user introduces themselves to the rest of the community. It is a way for new members to make themselves known and become a part of the community.

Why do people feel guilty about intro threads?

People may feel guilty about intro threads because they may feel like they are taking up space or attention in the community, or they may feel like they are not interesting or important enough to warrant an introduction.

Is it necessary to do an intro thread?

No, it is not necessary to do an intro thread. It is completely up to the individual whether they want to introduce themselves to the community or not. Some may find it helpful to make connections and others may not see the need for it.

How can I make my intro thread more interesting?

You can make your intro thread more interesting by sharing unique or fun facts about yourself, asking questions to spark conversation, or sharing your hobbies and interests. You can also add photos or use creative formatting to make your intro thread stand out.

Should I respond to comments on my intro thread?

It is not necessary to respond to every comment on your intro thread, but it is polite to acknowledge and thank those who welcomed you or asked you questions. It is also a great way to start conversations and get to know other members of the community.
