I can't believe there's an active animorphs forum, I didn't think anybody else remembered the series. I was absolutely obsessed with these books as a kid. For some reason I lost interest or just failed to keep up at some point and I honestly don't even remember how far I got. I'm going to be starting over from The Invasion and reading the entire series. Anyway, Hi! I look forward to being a part of the community.

<Hey taco! Yep, Animorphs is still alive and well here. Welcome to the forum, I'm DinosaurNothlit, RAF's resident Ankylosaur/Tyrannosaur mixed-morph nothlit. Long story. Skrit Na, oatmeal, the Time Matrix and tranquilizers were involved. Anywho, point is I'm a dinosaur now and I've come to accept it.>
<Oh, and stick around until the talking seal can collect your sanity. I hear she's having technical difficulties right now, so it may take longer than usual, but sanity is messy nasty stuff and I'm sure you'll want to be rid of it as soon as possible, am I right?>

Sanity is vastly overrated and hampers creativity. Who needs it?
I spend 48 hours a week on an ambulance with a lot of downtime, so I'm hoping I can fly through the series fairly quickly. My best estimate for how far I got originally was somewhere in the neighborhood of The Weakness.

*looks around for signs of the Frenchie*
*fistpump*
Suddenly, a large dark-brown bear enters the room. He appears gentle, and is curious about the newcomer. <Hello! I am Bear. Are you new here? Let me show you around!>
<This is the 'RAF Social' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=29.0) Board. We really get to know each other here. You've already introduced yourself, and you can also have your own Member Profile (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=30.0) here, too!> The Bear lumbers back through the doorway, leading RedHunter into a hallway. There are many, many doors here.
<This door is the way to the 'RAF Projects' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=13.0) Board. Lots of RAFians work together on all kinds of cool stuff, like producing Animorphs audio-books (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=15.0) and "RAF: The Animated Series" (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=3738.0)! It's a really good show....> Bear moves over to another large door.
<Here is the 'Bored Board' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=1.0). We play games and love to waste our time here! It's a lot of crazy fun. You should join us here!> Bear continues down the hall, speaking as he goes.
<These three doors are for the Animorphs Section. We discuss the books, TV show, and anything about the series in the 'Animorphs Forum' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=2.0). The 'Animorphs Role Playing' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=6.0) Board is exciting! RAF always has active RPG's, and lots of cool players. I hope you like to Role-play as much as I do....> Bear's short tail wagged. <And we have some talented writers who share their 'Animorphs Fan Fiction & Art' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=5.0) in here. I like that room.> Across the hall, there is another set of three doors, side by side.
<That is the 'General Board' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=11.0). We can talk about anything there... the weather, funny quotes, or anything you like! We also play all kinds of non-Animorphs RPG's (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=23.0)in there, and we have way more neat stories and artwork (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=27.0) in that last door.>
<Oh yeah! And there's the 'Media Area' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=4.0), where we talk about movies, TV, the news.... And we talk about 'Other Books' (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?board=21.0) in that room!>
Bear sits on his haunches and looks at RedHunter. <It's a big place, but it's so much fun here! We're glad that you came. Tell us a few things about yourself here (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=6489.0), and what species you are here (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html).>
Bear begins to walk farther down the hallway, which opens into a thick green forest. He looks over his shoulder and says, <Oh, and whatever you do.. do NOT go down the stairs. Anyways... You'll see me around. Welcome to RAF!>
Howdy! I'm Bear, in case you didn't guess. :P Sorry for the insanely long post there, but see, there's this little contest goin' on to see who can be first to post an obnoxiously long introduction in the newcomers' threads. And, well, I won! :D Nice to meet ya, and hopefully, I'll see ya around the boards.
And, if ya don't mind me asking... can I assume you're a paramedic? 'Cuz that's just plain cool if you are. :)
-
Right now I'm an EMT, and I'm in my last few weeks of paramedic school. So right now I'm 3rd riding with another medic to get my hours done, and once I finish I'll be able to test to get my paramedic license.
I'm also a zoology major at a different school. long story.
-
good morning everyone
-
Welcome to RAF! :D I'm Steph. Nice to meet you!

<That is so cool, I don't think I've ever met an EMT before! Hopefully I don't ever need your services, but still, it's pretty awesome that you're going to be driving an ambulance around someday.>

Welcome!

Welcome to RAF, I'm Jess. We're glad to have you. :)
-
Hello there Taco! I'm new myself as you can see by my post count but nevertheles i'm happy meeting ya.
see you around
-
Thanks for the welcomes, everyone.
So who would like to explain this "insanity level" concept to me?
-
Hi there! Welcome to RAF. I'm Gaz, nice to meet you.
-
The insanity level bar was formerly your 'activity bar' - it increased with your activity. As you might have already found out, we RAFians have this little 'we're all insane' thing going on, so the name of the bar was changed to 'Insanity Level' by our awesome mods :) Basically, your insanity increases with the number of posts you make in a certain time period. Hope that helped :)

wheee! south park! i love your avatar.
oh, greeting, right... howzit!

Welcome to RaF
-
Hey Taco! Welcome to RAF. I'm Aluminator, or Scott. I was super-excited to find an active Animorphs forum too, so I know the feeling ^_^
My suggestion to you would be to spend some time exploring and hanging out. There's a lot of Animorphs to discuss, and, when you're done with that, there's a lot of everything else to discuss too (probably one of the main reasons this forum is so enduring). As I'm sure you're already starting to realize, the people on this forum are fantastic as well (which is probably the rest of the reason this forum sticks around.)
Anyway, we're glad you're here ^_^
