Dear New friends, (and veterans)

A very bid warm welcome to AdlandPro ... and thank you for accepting my invitations and thank you for your kind invitations.

I know how daunting it can be when you first arrive at Adland.  Some find
their way around very easily and some find it very difficult.

I have received several private messages from new people asking me about what's around in Adland, so I have compiled a list of useful links.  Not business links because I know you have all found those!!!

I have, also, had the pleasure of chatting with some of you, my
message is ... Please don't give up ... It will get easier the
more you stick around.

To any Adland veterans reading this, please give our new friends some good pointers

This list is being constantly updated with new forums of interest that our dear veteran friends have contributed!!!

Thank you.

**********************************************

John Sanchez and LaNell put together the POTW nominations and voting forums.

For all good intentions and purposes, there are a set of criteria outlined for being nominated as POTW,however, just recently more and more members have criticised it as being the private selection of an "elite group" rather than based on the specified qualifying criteria.

Let me please say, that anyone you think is deserving can be nominated.  There is no such thing as an elite group ... We are all Adlanders in AdlandPro and all  members are welcome and deserving.  So, if you truly wish to make a difference then get active in that forum.

Here is the link for the voting ballot:
http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/5796/ShowForum.aspx
We are currently on week 54 of the vote.

Here you can see previous winners:

This is a good way to invite new friends and meet some Adland Veterans.

Hello Venerina,

Thank you for the invitation. I was sure you would set up a forum topic to help our friends find good forums and topics. There are so many now that I seldom find then all.

This forum topic will be another success of yours. To understand my way of thinking I will dedicate a poem to you. I treat all my best friends with a spiritual sense.

I sing of beautiful Aphrodite of Cyprus and the sea, where the camp force of Zephyr breath carried her along on waves of the resounding sea and the soft foam. The hours happily received her and put divine garments around her. On her immortal head they placed a crown, carefully made of gold. In the pierced lobes of her ears they placed flowers of copper. On her delicate neck and silver-white breasts they put necklaces of gold. Then they led her to the immortals who welcomed her and reached out their hands to her. They gawked at the figure of the Cytheran crowned in violets. Farewell, quick-blinking, sweet-smiling goddess, grant me victory in this contest--favor my song and I'll remember you in another.

I am sure I will come back here to be informed about hte most active members in AdlnadPro.

My forums are about daily human happenings. Happiness, sadness, humour, stories, history, mythology, legends, inspiraton, friendship, known and unknown truth, name's origin and definition, anti-war actions, curiosity and mysteries. To know more about my forums follow this link Georgios's Forums and I am sure you will find touching subjects.

I wish you good luck and courage

Warm Regards
Your Hellenic Friend
Georgios

There are indeed much laughter all over my forums even if they are not dedicated for this purpos so feel free to look around and find what you better like. But to classify them somehow here they are:

1. Do you think this bikini makes me look fat?

   Pure Art! A Forum to share funny, entertainig and artistic things. Do you want to relax, than this is the right place! WELCOME!
2. Wisdom of Love   For ALL my wonderful friends!

3. Help Break The Chain...

Thank you very much my dear friend for this beautiful posting and thank you for sharing your forums with our new friends.

I love your forums and have to confess that they are probably where I am most active ....

Knowledge truly is the food of life .... (Plato was right)

Courage comes from having good friends around ...

I truly hope that our new members get as much out of your forums as I and so many others do...

Have a wonderful sunday

Big warm hugs from sunny Madeira

Hello Anamaria,

I hope our friends do find this useful.  I know that, as a relatively new person, I still sometimes feel it would be easier if someone told me where to go hehehehe and sometimes, I get lost when I receive a load of forum invites. Then I think Oh I must go there ... and then find I have lost the link!!! hehehehe

Anyways, I wouldn't miss you out.  You area very active person and we keep crossing paths in several forums.  You are a truly nice person to know, full of life and ideas. 

I would have liked to have mentioned more but I thought I would leave it up to the forum owners to advertise in their own words.  So a very big thank you for posting.

Have a lovely sunday my friend

Best wishes

Venerina
