    hey @RiptidesCircus06 - welcome to the mix! it’s so nice to have you here <3

    in terms of how the boards work, i am probably the worst person here to attempt an explanation so apologies in advance, but basically there’s different sections where you can create threads like you have here, as well as responding to other people’s threads too! you can react to posts along the bottom of each post as well as reporting anything too. if you ever have any questions about anything, you can always use the help desk section too!

    any announcements from the staff team will be under the community announcements section - that is also where the weekly schedule is posted for what’s happening at the mix. the only thing that doesn’t happen on here is the chats which you will need to create an account for on chatwee (the link to these is on the weekly schedule post) - tonight from 8pm-9pm there is a support chat if you want to join.

    i hope that made even a little sense! if you’ve any specific questions just ask and someone will always try to help you <3

    Hi @RiptidesCircus06 , it's lovely to meet you friend. I can see you've got a huge amount of battles your fighting, and can i just say that it's truly incredible that you're here and fighting on. That's truly inspirational.

    I think shannon's given a good rundown about the mix, and it's lovely to have you here. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

    Also, could i ask, have you ever played outlast before? That's 100% my favourite horror game. What's yours?

    Hiya @RiptidesCircus06 welcome! We're a lovely bunch on here and it's so cool to meet you as well. So on here there's a mixture of different threads ranging from various different topics including wellbeing to even a general thread where you can post anything to artwork to even pet photos!.

    From what @Nathan mentioned above I can tell you are fighting a lot of battles at the moment, but keep on fighting because I know good things are coming soon <3. I'm also a fellow neurodivergent person here too and I hear that your currently awaiting an autism assessment and I hope you get the support you need right now as well for it. I'm also here if you need anything as well :).

    I used to do art, I haven't done artwork in such a long time I need to get back into it because I got a small sketchbook somewhere around my house begging to be drawn in lol. I tend to mainly knit and crochet nowadays and horror games are so good!. I mainly tend to play more RPG adventure based games like The Outer Worlds etc.

    (Also I love your pfp, is that Gangle from The Amazing Digital Circus? Because that is such a well animated show).

    I hope you are doing well this week and I can't believe its almost the weekend too!

    Big warm welcomes,

    Amy22 <3

    hello @RiptidesCircus06 and welcome. it's lovely to have you here with us. I think the guys who have commented above me have given a good explanation for how the boards work and stuff. You're welcome to post as much or little as you like, respond to other peoples discussion threads and just get involved. Never any pressure to do so either - it's totally whatever makes you comfortable.

    Hope you're having at least an okay day today and we all look forward to hopefully seeing you around more on here soon

    Tadcaster is such a brilliant show to be fair and well done. I love the shows that Glitch Productions have created especially that new show they made as well. Yungblud is such a great musician too as well 😊.

    I love Halloween so much as well, I haven't got round to properly doing a Halloween pfp just yet but one day lol. For me I love Hallowee mainly because all of my favourite movies come under this season to be fair as I do love Tim Burton and really old comedy horrors from the 80s.
