Check some threads that interest you and post in them, not about this artist. Using a thread as a vehicle for your own, non-related interest and to further any agenda, real or imagined, will be taken, rightly, as another attempt at spam and you'll get banned.

Forge a few friendships. Get to know people. Check out the lounge and even maybe look at the less serious threads, like "what do you eat" or "the bitch box".

Prove you're serious (if you are) and that you were misjudged as a spammer (if you were). Only then will you achieve enlightenment and be fit to touch Urban's cloak of mystery (though of course what you as consenting adults do is no business of mine.)

Sorry guys if I spoiled your fun kicking the new guy, but you know, just in case he's serious.... and please don't call me Veg II, I won't like it.
Thanks Trollheart! And yep, I was serious!

I'm glad there's someone around here to help out newcomers. I used to be the administrator of the world's #1 tennis discussion forum so I'm used to the typical treatment of new members, but have zero experience with that kind of spam (advertising for musicians) because it doesn't really exist in sports discussion, hence my mistake.

Thanks again! I'll try to comply with the rules better from now on.
