New Recruit, just learned about 405th while in cosplay at Dragoncon

[Sh0rtfuze]

Hi! I'm new to the forums but have been a long time halo fan. My husband already had an account but I didn't really know what it was for until this weekend. We did our first halo cosplays this weekend at Dragoncon in Atlanta and were approached by multiple (incredibly nice) people asking if we were 405th. It really peaked my interest to dive into the community a little more and learn was the group is all about. I have never been on a forum like this so any tips are appreciated!

welcome to the Forum!

We are pretty laid back but there are some common things that are particular to the "forum" style that is different compared to social media.

Firstly I would recommend checking out the rules section and the information about the 405th. it lays out pretty well who we are and what we are about. as well as a few expectations on behavior and interactions with others on the site and how we represent ourselves.

But generally, most of us post to a "thread" with pictures and updates on our personal builds. Often people interact with these threads with praise, constructive criticisms, suggestions and ideas, or recommendations based on each of our personal experiences.

We have spaces for more regional groups to promote cohesion and interactivity between members where possible and we can have a lot of collaboration on projects, events, or online hangouts.

Looking forward to seeing you around the site! and to what you have made and to what you will make!
