Have Fun!!
The bigest thing is to have fun and explore. You have to keep it fresh, alive, and interesting. I love how many of the group members have come up with these creative names (Darkflameninja, purplerox71, and darkwolfstriker). I love to change my theme up on my home page by selecting My Home then Account ( http://www.chess.com/home/account.html ) then select Styles and Themes. You can then try different themes that fits your taste for this week.
I also love exploring new things and learning something new. I had not paid much attention to the bottom message bar and most of the time made it hide. Recently I got a chat with a member for the first time. Darkflameninja sent me chat asking me a question. I chatted back with him to answer his question. It was quick and cool. I later tried it out with Bobyen. I was trying to test a voice chat but did not get it to work. One day I want to try and do a chess lesson on line with voice chat.
Maybe you have learned something on this site that has helped you or you thought was cool. Share it with the group. The main thing is to have fun and ask alot of question. You will be surprised on how much you will learn that way.
