Here are a few places to visit and learn alittle more about AB.
BigDaddy is a great person to go when you have a question
If you are ever bothered by trolls on here as in , they start DR your answer for no good reason find and AB who has the word COAT in their name and they will help you, I know from experience they are some of the best and most sweet people here.
I hope these places will help you feel more comfortable here at AB,, most of us who have been here a while are like a big family, but as Scrappy says you do have to be careful too. So have fun and enjoy

Don't ever give out full name, address or phone number. Never give out personal info that someone can use to stalk you. You would be amazed at how smart some people are. I don't use my real photo either. People on here will try to catch you off guard by asking things like what is your SS #..(that was a question on here). BE CAREFUL. Several ABers have already been stalked.

Do have fun but be careful..remember they may seem OK and they may become your best friend just to get that personal info. I don't even have my last name listed on my email for that reason. ANYTHING IS TRACKABLE online..you can pay $ and get someone's unlisted phone number so be cautious.

Great answer! +1
Fortunately i am a wary and cautious person. I've been cyber-stalked before on another site (in a major way), so i am a little less naive now to the type of things that do go on. It pays to be cautious!
