Welcome.

Don't apologize for asking questions. All we ask is that you do your research when a question comes up. If you don't find an answer, ask, we'll point you were you need to be.

Welcome aboard, I’m new as well and didn’t want to ask stupid questions when the answers are probably already here on the forum.

Which is why I have spent the past two weeks reading and I’m learning more every day!

Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:


As a new subscriber, you've already been directed to this thread, please read carefully and look through the linked additional threads:


Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:


Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.

Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me. Mutual respect is of utmost importance to us. On the other hand, we're grown-ups and are supposed to be able to deal with a bit of irony, don't take it personally, ever, a bit of irony never harmed anyone. If you laugh at jokes, you'll make friends faster.

This forum is a treasure trove of information and benefits from the engagement of all members who take their time to share their knowledge, help each other out and have some fun. We hope that you'll benefit and enjoy this platform as well as contribute positively to it.

If at any point you feel to contribute also on another level, feel free to pm the boss (trailboss99) to become a supporter and get some little perks with the status (editing rights, for example).

Enjoy the forum.

Well I do my best to do my research, I try to answer all my own questions as best I can. But I do understand human error and oversight both of which I am very guilty of unintentionally. I just apologize because unfortunately there are some people that always feel the need to make smart ass comments and to be rude.
I'm not one of those people and I try to avoid contact with those kind of people. They do exist unfortunately. And if I ask a question it is merely out of oversight or lack of available information and is strictly because I want an honest answer.. I do, thank you for the kind reply. And the helpful information.

Welcome! There's plenty of help on here. I'd recommend looking at some of the lists of best reps as a good place to start if you're not sure what you want. They're ranked from not worth buying gen downwards and show you the factories to get them from!
