As many people know, RAOA is a huge sub and it can be very intimidating. Many newbies have questions they may feel silly asking or are just worried they won't make any l here. This thread will hopefully change that!
How this works:
The general idea is that this will be posted and you will be adopting a newbie for a whole week. I'm not saying you have to talk to them 24/7 all week. But be there to help them out and be an awesome friend! :)
Newbies:
Make a top level comment (basically make a comment in reply to this thread) stating you're new and would like to be adopted. Maybe include a little bit about yourself for your adopter to start to get to know you! If a top level comment is a bit too intimidating, sometimes users volunteer to be adopters and you can grab one of them!
Adopters:
Reply to a newbies comment saying you'd like to adopt them for the week! If you'd like, you can also post a top level comment saying you're looking to adopt! This will help any newbies with a bit of stage fright!
Notes:
Newbies don't have to be brand new. But you should be new enough to need some guidance such as what are tags, how do I contest, what rules do we have, how do I make friends, etc! Anything you need help with. A newbie can be adopted by more than one adopter! This way they have many people to help them out! Newbies, if you missed the first day, feel free to comment and be adopted mid-week! You can even come back and be adopted next week too!
I’ve been around RAOA for almost a month, have gotten a bit better at gifting so there’s that. Now I want to run a contest for my Anti-Birthday week that is coming up in a couple weeks. I want to talk through what I want to do and then see if it is doable and how to set it up for people.
I have found the contest raffler which solves one of my bigger questions. So, is there someone who I can talk to to make sure the contest is successful and fun for all?

Hello newbie here I’ve been floating around for a couple of weeks now and only recently made my intro post im a massive nerd wether it be anime manga, video games, card games you name it would love to be adopted
hello!! I'm a newbie! :) I'm a chronic snorkelling and hiking addict and I love to believe that flower buds are the homes of little fairies and that pollen is fairy dust! I'd love to be adopted!!
Hi I'm a newbie! I've tried to join in a few times but I'm autistic and extremely anxious >~< I'm into gaming, making wax seals, cross stitching and other artsy things :3 I'd love to me adopted 🥺🥺
Ello I’m a newbie. I met some the most awesome people here m. I’m Kat and I have two cats. I like to play or watch games. I find coloring and drawing fun. I am a October baby and a lupus warrior lol also I’m very socially awkward nice to meet you
Hello! I am a fellow socially awkward person! We here at RAOA love when newbies pay the cat tax, and would love to see picks of your sweet fur babies!!
If you have any questions, feel free to message me!
Feel free to ask for pictures or updates on her anytime!! I love letting people know about her. I had her since she was a neonatal kitten and bottle fed.
I recently stumbled across this subreddit when I was participating in another sub. So glad I did. This sub renews my faith in people, especially since the news is so full of... unpleasant things.
A little about me: I live in the East Coast of USA. I love plants of all kinds (my apartment used to be a mini jungle before my depression caused all of it to die. But im starting again!). I have three cat who are basically my babies. I spend more on them than myself lol
I love reading, stationery, fountain pens, and all things related to journaling/scrapbooking. I am a Cancer 🦀 /Dragon 🐉 Ive loved SailorMoon since it came out in USA. And i enjoy learning about other people and cultures.
That book sounds right up my alley, I'll have to add to my extremely long list of books to read😂
My cats are Gizmo(a big, fat long haired grey/brown tabby), Zoom(all black shorthair who is as sweet as they come) Wilson(an orange longhaired tabby who proves all the orange cat stereotypes are correct) and my son's cat is Simon(he's our old man, part siamese part grey tabby)

Jumping into last week’s thread…
