Well, Stephen, pull up a chair and we'll deal you in!  Feel free to ask questions and let us know if there's anything you need assistance with.

You came at a very good time - we're under new ownership.  Tom Dawson, author of Hochman's Encyclopedia of American Playing Cards and president of the 52 Plus Joker Club recently purchased the forum.  Exciting things are afoot!  Most of the membership's been pretty giddy about it.
