Howdy, you are new here and I generally dont get involved in these things but I will through my

worth at it.
This is GFY, GO FUCK YOURSELF the name by its self should give you a clue as to the atmosphere.
On this board you will find most all of the industry heavy hitters and quite few newbies and some assholes. Sort of like life.
I will be willing to bet that nothing is done about your avatar.
To be here a member has to have thick skin, let the comments roll off of your back like water off of a ducks back, they are only words.
I would suggest that as new person listen more than you speak, get the flow of things, relax and don't worry if they are rude sometimes.
You can gain a lot of knowledge here if you just let it sink in.
There are lots of good folks here, and remember, life is not fair.
