hi I'm new and pretty nervous someone help?
Hey! I totally understand being nervous, I was mega nervous the first time I joined RpN too. It's a lot to take in. Are you having difficulty taking it all in? Or just navigating? How can I help? :)
 
Okay! Understandable. I'll walk you through the homepage.

If you click on the RpNation logo up top, it'll take you to the homepage, where you can peruse the various sections of the site. The top section, "RpNation", involves stuff like official site matters and introductions. You can see from the homepage that we're posting in the Community Hub right now!
Also within the RpNation section is the "Private Workshop", which is a section of the forums only you can see. So you can post there if you want to maybe keep drafts or experiment with the website's features on your own.

Below the "RpNation" section is "Creativity", designated towards all things creative. It's where people show off codes they use to make their messages look fancy (BBCodes), solo writing projects, or art.

Below that is the discussion section. General Discussion is for regular, non-RP matters, Pop culture for stuff like music, anime, and TV, and RP Discussion & Advice is pretty self-explanatory.

Then we get to the RP stuff! The "Recruitment" section of the site is where RPers go to post what we call "interest checks", which is exactly what it says on the label. They check for interest in various RP ideas. It's essentially advertisement for the type of RP you want to host or create. This is how people generally join new RPs!

Then below that is the "Roleplays" section, which is where people actively RP! There are tons of different types of RPs, so I recommend taking your time in familiarizing yourself with all of them - there really isn't any rush.

So! All that being said, I recommend you check out a few things you can find anytime towards the top of the homepage, in the Community Hub.
You can follow this link to find the RpNation Handbook, which details a lot of the things you should know about the site. This is where to find the site's rules, the discord server, the staff list, and a pretty handy FAQ.
After you've given that a look, I highly recommend giving this guide a read. I've given you a pretty basic rundown of how the site is laid out, but this can probably answer all of the questions I haven't already, and it does so in a very straightforward way that's friendly to new users!
If you wanna find that again, it's also in the community hub. If you scroll past the Tutorials and the RpN Handbook, it's right under the "introduce yourself" thread :)

That being said, if you need any more help, I'm more than happy to lend a hand. I distinctly remember being quite embarrassed because it took me over a few days to figure out how to even create a thread lol. You're doing just fine!
