I dont have much to offer but I am here. Hello

Hi everyone.

My name is Steve. I dont know as much about World War 2 as I would like and usually only like to talk to people in a chat room type of place. I belonged to two other forums in the past but one was just silly people arguing and the other one kicked me out when I was on vacation. I never could find out why but I think it was because they wanted to lock out people that were not expats in Japan.

I live in Goddard Kansas on the west side of Wichita. I would like to say that I am a diesel mechanic but I know that I have a long way to go before I can become certified. I try anyway.

I joined a couple weeks ago after I found this place while I was doing a web search for information about Australian diggers. I remember talking to some people in the chat room about it and thought that they were very nice people. I have not found as much about the diggers as I had hoped but my life usually doesn't end up on line very much anyway.

I hope I might learn something here.

You're welcome anyway n' there's a lot of nice "buggers" here n' a lot of 'em is Aussies. In fact I'm proud to have them as friends.

Welcome, Steve. On a forum such as this questions are contributions, so find a topic you might have an interest in and ask away. There many here more than willing to share what they know.

Re: I dont have much to offer but I am here. Hello

Welcome Steve, believe me we all have little bits to contribute and if not, someone else can kindly set you straight, or at least recommend some documentaries to watch and books to read.

Welcome to the Zone!

Re: I dont have much to offer but I am here. Hello

Wow Thank you for the warm welcome.

I work on the big 3406s and 3408s more than anything Wolster. The only time I see any of Cats 3516s is on their generators. They make good stuff. What kind of problem are you having?

Hi Steve, welcome to the Zone site, sorry to hear about your "other" site experiences.......that does'nt sound good, but you found the right place. And, we have a genuine Chat room here, from a general one to a game one and a private one as well. Good stuff all around, Jim is really on the ball here, let me tell ya!!

So jump in and check out all the forums and see where your interests might be, I'll probably see you in the chat rooms as well, but I'm usually there after work at night after 11:30 PM.

Cheers, you don't have any interest in WW II gaming by chance, do ya?

Have a good time

TRDG

Tom

Re: I dont have much to offer but I am here. Hello

Hi Steve! Welcome to the Zone!!! I am absolutely positive you will love it here, and will experience none of the "dumb stuff" way too many forums exhibit these days. I actually belong to several forums too, and the run the full spectrum of "niceness" and user-friendliness (is that a word?)...I have only found one other site (Days of Wonder) that can come close to approarching the amazing warmth, camraderie, fun, and overall good cheer as displayed here. If I could only choose one place to be, this would be the place! Settle in and have fun learning about a facinating and pivotal time in the globe's history!
