As a seasoned rambling poster on here, i sometimes forget what it was like for me when i first joined BeoWorld - and was very reluctant to post as i thought my level of knowledge was far too inferior to be posting comments on such a site full of brainy BeoBoffins.  I must have written about half a dozen posts, then cancelled them for fear of writing anything stupid and looking silly in front of the world.

Once i'd got a couple under my belt, i realised that they were all just a normal bunch of people that actually wanted to help people like myself that were 'learning the ropes' - and that there was no such thing as a 'silly question' !!

So, if you're reading this, and have never posted before - here's what i'd like you to do..

1) Tell us your first name, and where you are from.

2) Say what B&O you have (doesn't even matter if you have a pair of A8's, or even don't have any - just tell us what's on your wish list!)

3) Tell us all what you like and dislike about BeoWorld, how you found us, and what keeps you coming back!

We all really look forward to meeting you, so don't be shy - tell us about yourself!

What about having a noob sub forum? would also save the post from disappearing in the general forum??

I don't really see the point of a Newbie Forum myself, as if it was for newbies only nothing would get answered.  It would be a case of experienced members posting all the answers - which we can do on the General Forum anyway!

However, i may be missing something - and i'm open to suggestions!

Back to the original posting though, would anyone like to say hello?!

Great idea!

So here i go:

 1.) My name is Daniel, i am from Basel in Switzerland (This is in the northwest, just at the border to germany and france)

2.) I have currently a BeoSound 4, 2 BeoLab4, a Beo4 (that i won from the BeoWorld prize draw), i also have a BeoCom4 and a Form2 as well as a pair of A8 Headphones. Oh well, what is on my wishlist? Quite all that B&O currently offers  

 3.) I actually found BeoWorld quite some time ago, when i was looking for B&O manuals, at that time i was looking for one for the BeoLink7000 that i had then. So i found this page (the old version) and already liked it. Now it's even better, you get tons of information here, technical, historical just interessting stuff etc. Very nice, always when i look around, i find something new. The good and freindly forum keeps me coming back, and also my interesst in B&O news and rumors.

How hard can this be? I do have a few posts under my belt, but not very many so...

1) Hello, my name is Steve and I'm from London

2) Oh dear, but I do like the old stuff when it's in good condition... and this lot is:
Beomaster 1000 white keys version, DIY ribbon antenna, Beogram early round motor version, Beovox 1000's
Beomaster 1000 black keys version, "rabbit ears" FM antenna, Beogram 1000 late 1001-type version, Beovox 1200's
Beomaster 2000 1970's version, "black stick" AM antenna & "rabbit ears" FM antenna, Beogram 1202, Beocord 2200, Beovox45-2's & stands
Beocenter 8500, Beogram 3300, AM Antenna 10 & "rabbit ears" FM antenna, Beovox 60.2's (& CX50's, RL45's, 2 sets RL35's around the flat)
Some spare bits...

3) I like being able to get help when something breaks down or the latest rescue project hits a problem. I also like the reassurance that I'm not uniquely mad - some people are way worse than me! And the genuinely friendly response around here is quite wonderful. I find the manuals section is quite invaluable.

Hi. My name is Andy and I'm from Clitheroe in Lancashire, UK.

The reason I haven't posted very much is because I'm a shy, retiring sort of person.

I am also afraid of making a fool of myself, they say a fool is a wise man until he opens his mouth!

Anyway, I will try and post more from now on.

Andy.

Hello.

My name is Wings and I am a Beoholic ... oh, sorry, wrong forum for that. 

My purpose in life is to:

1.  ask stupid questions on this site, and/or

2.  harass, harangue and otherwise poke fun at me mate, Andy T.  (See below)  😁  😂

Well, i was rather hoping to have some people post on this thread that said "1" - meaning this was their 1st post.

Come on you lot - don't be shy - i'm not asking for algorithms or paragraphs of award winning poetry - just a simple bit about yourselves!

Next poster that has the number 1 by their name meaning it's their 1st post gets a prize.

How's that?
