We're all here for the same reason: we want to build a fun and vibrant community for artists. Fortunately, the only thing we need to succeed are posts and that part is up to all of us. We need to post for the forum to succeed. 
If you haven't already posted a quick message in the "Introduce Yourself!" thread, please do post and say hello. It can be as simple as you want. Just say hello.
Other ways to post (every post is important right now):
1. Stop by and say hello in the "A cup of coffee, a glass of wine, perhaps some espresso... pull up a chair and chat with us" thread. In fact, why not make it a daily ritual to stop by and say hello? Let us know how your day is going.
2. Post one of your artworks -- it could be a work in a progress or a finished piece. The best place to do that is in either the Mediums or Subjects areas. Let us know if you'd like some gentle critiques. Or post a comment on someone else's artwork. Just remember that we play nicely here, so be kind and generous in your remarks. If you have multiple artworks you'd like to post, the best way is to create a separate thread for each one. That will make it easier for others to view and comment.
3. Have you found a YouTube training video that you think is good and that you'd like to share? Great!: Post it in the Video Training section so we can all benefit from it.
4. Got a question about Color Theory or Mixing? Composition and Design? Framing or setting up a studio? If yes, head over to the Topics section and post your question. We guarantee that you'll start seeing helpful posts very quickly. Or do you have a tip that you'd like to share? Post that, too.
5. Got an idea for the forums? Something we've missed? Something you wish we had? Great! Create a thread in the Forum FAQs and Feedback section. We promise to respond very quickly. We've worked really hard on the design of the forum so far but we recognize that it's early days and there may be many ways to improve the forums. Let us know what you're thinking.
If we work together, we've got a real chance of building a really great community. So, let's do it!
