Welcome to Steem @darthknight, its great to have you on board. You're certainly at the right place starting off with the OCD community. You'll find a whole bunch of interesting people here who are determined to grow Steem and make it as enjoyable as possible for people especially for new joiners.
We have a Discord channel where a lot of the chit chat happens and its helps to find your way around Steem.
Thank you for the welcome and invite but I don't use Discord, maybe in the future. :-)
I really hope the powers that be can sort this mess out but it's great to see someone showing faith and taking a sizeable punt!
