Hi Welcome to the dis board! I suggest you read all the vmk sticky guides at the top of the post page. There are many helpful hints and tips there. Also you can use the search tool to find threads about specific topics.

The Dis here as a whole is a great group of people. You are sure to meet them on your adventures through VMK.
Oh, and being the explorer of the group, I like to think of myself as a tour guide.. So if you have any questions about VMK or the Dis, feel free to PM me.
