Don't worry that you don't know much Latin. There's a page on the home page where you could learn the basics so you'll know the short phrases which we use here occasionally.
Since we recently had the discussion how to attract new members I'm sure not just me but some others here as well would like to know how you found the way to us.
Vale optime,
Aelia

As a new member, you will be able to participate in discussions on naming on equal footing with our oldest members.

Q. Valerius Scerio wrote:Marcus Antonius, I don't seem to recall a cognomen. They pretty much fluctuate between praenomen/nomen/cognomen and praenomen/nomen. But about equal footing, that means you get a say-so also with equal vote of someone like me. (j/k).
And welcome to the fora.

Amice (Friend)...you're obsessing.
Our tendency not to do so here is one key difference between us and the "Roman Republic Reborn". And it is a big part of the reason why we have evolved into an amicable community, here to share knowledge and perspectives and hare-brained ideas...instead of anything with a history of Factions, Gens Wars, Gender Wars, and Great Big Religious Fusses. (NR has mellowed out quite a bit in the last few years...but their history is still a part of who they are.)
Basically, NR is trying to be a nation. It has land and laws and magistrates. We are trying to be an educational resource. We have Collegia and administrators and meeting-places on the 'Net. Both entities are gathering-spots for those who consider themselves to be Romans-in-spirit. Time will tell whether either organization is serving its audience well, poorly, or not at all.
Welcome again to the SVR. Once you relax a bit, and realize that 'casual' does not necessarily have to mean 'sloppy', nor does a friendly demeanor interfere in the least with scholarship and authenticity, I think you might really like it here.
In amicitia et fide (In Friendship and Faith),

Welcome to SVR! Believe it or not, there are more active posters than it may appear at the moment, but a few of us are slumbering, due to the fact that everyone's trying to work out how to improve SVR, to make it more active, etc... And there are other individual reasons as well; I just moved into a new house, and won't be getting an internet connection there for over a week...
Bene vale,
Marcus Scribonius Curio Agelastus.
