TOPIC: New Member Introduction Thread

Hi Cody and welcome!

Glad you have made the discovery of SaberForge and this great site. You will find that there are lots of fantastic members here waiting to share their passion for Sabers and all things related.
I fear you have already been bitten by Saber Fever, but don't worry the folks round here will help you through it, and the forum has many sections to entertain you. Reviews, Cosplay, Role-Playing through to Saber DIY and Electronics and even a Saber Selfie thread where you can post pictures of your good self with your Sabers.

I believe you have already seen the Forum Rules pages, and hopefully the FAQ's but for the newcomers who haven't seen them I will provide a link here:

Hi, I'm Quaz. I've wanted a lightsaber for a long time so got one (ordered the Champion Juggernaut Amber) wish I could have afforded the hero blade though. Anyways I hope to get a few more blades after this so I'll be around.

Welcome Cody, and congrats on that weathered Viper. I do so love the Viper emitter. I plan on building a custom saber when ASP goes online and making something like the Descent with Viper claws and a nice black reptile leather wrap.

Welcome Quaz,

You already sound like many of the great members on this forum! I think most wish they had more funds for the higher Tier model, but that provides us a reason to save up and whilst we do we have the forum to keep us occupied!
There are many, many sections ranging from Saber Selfies, Saber DIY, Polls, Reviews through to ones dedicated to designing ASP Sabers! There are even Fan Galleries where members can post their artwork!

As a New Member, one section I do recommend checking out is the FAQ's and Forum Rules. These will answer a lot of questions that you may still have and help you get the best out of this great site. I check back and read them again to keep up to date.

Hello to all!
My name is Brady. I'm a huge saberfan from the small city of Brookville, Ohio. I placed an order for my first saber on February 3. I ordered an Exhalted Champion Edition in 12W+ Green! I literally check my order on Etsy every couple of hours. The anticipation is truly killing me! I even ordered a 32" blade just to see how fast the shipping process is to my area and to have a shorter blade to spin indoors with! I think my Girlfriend is getting sick of finding me watching Saberforge Reviews on YouTube everyday after work. Luckily I have her talked into getting a saber herself, although she has not decided on which one yet. I currently only own a Ultimate FX Obi-Wan saber that I got for my halloween costume last year and for TFA Premiere! (as seen in my profile pic). Please feel free to send me any awesome pics of your Exhalted sabers to make my wait a little more tolerable!

- May the Forge be with you all!

Welcome Brady329 and girlfriend,

Glad to have you join this great forum. Right off the bat I know you and fellow member Brax will have something in common, he too is an Exhalted owner and he has even posted an album of Saber pics which you can link to from his Review.
You have already shown symptoms of Saber Fever but the forum is a fantastic way to occupy yourself with many topics covering almost everything Saber related.
As a New Member, I would recommend you check out the FAQ's and Forum Rules pages just to get up to speed on how this site runs and to answer any questions you may still have. Here is a link to these pages if you need it:

So now go and enjoy the forum and what it has to offer, Oh one more thing here is a link to Moderator Brax's review I mentioned:

Brax's Exhalted Review

kind regards and hopefully we will chat in future,

For Tyeth

Welcome Brady329!

For Tyeth is correct about my love for thin-neck designs, so we do indeed have something in common. The review that he linked to is about 9 months old now, but after re-reading it, I stand by everything I said in praise of it as much today, as I did at that moment. I was reading reviews, watching video reviews (Shameem's You-Tube Channel has some good ones if you have not seen them), and soaking up every bit of info I could find on them while I waited.

You have a very special saber on the way IMHO, and I guarantee that all of the anxiety about the wait will disappear the moment you have it in your hands.

Hi everyone I'm Chris aka DBD Vyper. I'm a big fan of saber forge even though I have never owned a high end saber. Really excited for the new asp system and looking forward to start my collection. I've never been part of a forum before so any advice on that front would be great!

Welcome to the house of sabers. As I'm certain For Tyeth would suggest, please read the forum rules page (which asks you to acknowledge reading them by replying to the thread) and the FAQ thread as well. Both are very helpful and informative.

Beyond that, if znd when you have a question try entering some key words into the search field. It will then list the threads and posts that might well answer your question, if not ask away! I have found the folks here to be very helpful.

Otherwise just be respectful, and enjoy!

I do hope that I haven't stepped on For Tyeth's toes too badly.

Welcome DBD Vyper!

Hello, nice to meet you. Sorry I wasn't here to post this reply sooner but Darth Vexing has done a fantastic job of giving you the welcome and information you will need to get into the wonderful world of SaberForgeForum.
We were all beginners at some point, so don't worry the members here are a fantastic bunch and will assist you whenever you should need it. We all like to chat about Sabers and Star Wars related stuff. If you see a topic that interests you then get involved!

As a note to newcomers there is a monitoring system in place to help combat unwanted Spam and Malware being posted onto the site, so your first 10 posts will need to be verified by our great Moderators before being displayed. After this initial period you will then be able to post freely and create your own topic threads.

One topic you mention is ASP Sabers, well you will be interested to know there are TWO threads to post pics and designs members come up with (including some some of mine). There are developments happening all the time.

FAQ's? Check!, Forum Rules, Check!. You are now prepared to go and explore and as Darth Vexing said, enjoy yourself.

I hope to read more of your posts in future and we may get to chat

For Tyeth

To Darth Vexing, you did a great job here and you haven't stepped on my toes, all members can welcome newcomers!

Greetings All,
I've been a Star Wars fan since I can remember. I saw the original in the theater when I was 6. Please don't do the math on my age. Still a kid at heart.
I ordered 3 champion sabers at the beginning of the year. Redeemer for me, Sinister Prophecy for my oldest son and a Epoch for my youngest son.
Apart from being broke and anxiously awaiting the arrival of our sabers I'm looking forward to attending my first comic con this month in Salt Lake City.

Welcome Tarquin!

So glad you have joined, and I hope you find this forum to be even better as you get immersed into it.
Wow 3 Champion Tier Sabers, there is gonna be one heck of a Saber Show Off (and pics here hopefully) at your house when they arrive! I know for a fact Moderator Brax and fellow member Tuckris will be interested in two of your choices (The Redeemer for Brax, The Epoch for Tuckris).

As a New Member I need to point out that for a short period your posts will be monitored by the Moderators before being displayed. This is just to help prevent unwanted Malware and Spam being posted and is no reflection on yourself. Your posts may take a while to display but the Mods will try to clear them as quickly as they can, after 10 posts you will then have full access and can create your own threads. For more info on how the site works and answers to any questions you may have, I will provide a link to the FAQ's. the link is here: FAQ's Page

I hope to read more of your posts and hopefully get to chat in the near future,

Greetings from the great state of Kentucky! My name is Cameron and I am in love with Star Wars and I've developed a passion for lightsabers. I began my collection by acquiring two Force FX sabers, Anakin and Luke. I am now eagerly awaiting two saberforge sabers, Warrior Acolyte in red and the Chosen in green! I can't wait to make many friends on here with a very awesome common interest!

Welcome Warlord227!

You have certainly come to the right place to meet new friends who love Sabers and anything Star Wars/Saber related! This forum has many great members who between them have a vast knowledge on the subject and are willing to share it. Having two Sabers on order you seem to know a bit about what you want in a Saber.
As a newcomer you may still have some questions about SaberForge and this site so may I draw you attention to the FAQ's and Forum Rules pages. They will help you get the best out of this great forum and helps keep it running smoothly. Here is a link: FAQ's and Forum Rules

I hope you enjoy your time here and maybe we will get to chat in future,

Hi guys !

I'm a european guy, dying from the wait. I ordered on january 16, 2 sabers to different locations.
I'll soon join the Emerald Knights btw !

Happy to see how is the community as I'm watching this forum since then and to be part of it in a few weeks.

Cheers

Greetings to the list!!

New member and first-time saber buyer as of 9-Jan (FAQ and Forum rules read - thanx for those!)

12W Champion-tier Epoch & Venom will soon be ours!!

My son and I are active LARP participants, and are anxious to try out the dueling blades in light-contact/full-speed combat.

I'm also an electronics/computer nerd so am enthused by the idea of "playing" with the innards... particularly the sound fonts and chipset.

One question: Is there an area of the Forum for older members? I'm 47 and would love to share ideas/stories with other "seasoned" enthusiasts. Just an idea...

Already read the FAQ and Rules, huh? You saw For Tyeth coming on that one!

As for an "Old Folks" section...well we don't have a dedicated one, but you can feel free to PM me whenever ya like. (I am even older than you!)

If you want input from more of the "more seasoned" crowd here, you can throw something out there in the "Open Topics" area, and call attention to it for the intended audience. However, since this is an open forum, anyone can see it, and comment. So, we will see how it goes.

Welcome!

Welcome Anteros,

Hello, glad you have joined and seem to have chosen Green as your preferred colour! I have a Disciple in Green and know how beautiful the Green is.
Having ordered two Sabers you appear to have done some research but if you still have any questions I recommend you check out the FAQ's page and Forum Rules section. They will answer lots of questions, some you may not have thought of, and will help you get the most out of this site. The link is here: FAQ's and Forum Rules

One thing I need to bring to your attention is that to begin with your Posts will be monitored and may take a little while to display. This is to help prevent unwanted Malware and Spam being posted. The Moderators will process your posts as quickly as possible, and after 10 posts you will have full access and be able to post and create threads normally.

I hope you enjoy the forum now you are part of the community!

For Tyeth

Welcome JosephWolfHou!

You have done half of my job for me as Brax has pointed out. The information you have gained will greatly enhance your time here.
I will add that your first 10 posts will be monitored to help prevent unwanted Malware and Spam being posted. Brax and the other Moderators will process your postings as quickly as possible and display them. After this initial period you will be able to post freely and create threads!

You have been "chosen" by two very distinctive Sabers, and I believe fellow member Tuckris has just received his Epoch so you have something in common with him. Eddlyss64 is currently upgrading his computer and Jaden Korr and Snakeeyz99 will be interested in chatting, they are very knowledgeable on electronics.

You are going to be busy on this forum I think but enjoy it.

For Tyeth

p.s. My forum name hints at the landmark birthday I recently had, so do I qualify as seasoned?

Hello Light saber enthusiasts, force users! ! I became a member because I'm looking into ordering my first SF saber. The Avenger in Grey weathered blue champion edition. My first saber is a US prophecy. I enjoy it. I'm just beginning a collection. I am also a member of the Dragon clan training hall at The Saber Legion. I've been a SW fan since 1977. I'm classically trained in Japanese metal sword arts. Iai. Kendo. Naginata. Also Aikido. I'm from Pensacola Florida and can be found at the Big Green Drum Japanese martial arts.

Warmest regards yall!
