Hello Bri, welcome. It is a petsite, of course! I would consider us nice, yes. Some users can be a bit snippy, but, that's the same for anywhere. For your questions on tu, well, play games to start. Then it all boils down to what cla.ss you are, after that, but I'm not good at making tu. So getting advise from me probably isn't the best idea. They've got some advise in the "Help" link on the sidebar, though.
