Beginners Guide to MFGG:
Number 1. Get to know the community. Seriously, once everyone atleast knows you exist and you are not some annoying person then people will start helping you out.
Number 2. Do some stuff for the community. Try to post kinda often. This will get you known a little bit. Post some of your sketches in the Arts Board if they are worthy. If they are not, ask someone or something.
Number 3. Never request something soon after you join. People will think you just joined here to find what you are looking for and spam asking for [item]. Like that guy that keep asking for a metroid engine.
Number 4. Change your member title and change your signature.
Number 5. Try google before requesting something. You'll be surprised what you can find on google.
Number 6. Don't overuse smileys. Just use one like this:

instead of

x5
Also do what the above posts have said. Have fun!
