When I joined this site, I wanted to make an Ask Me thread right away, but I was kind of worried no one would reply (since I was new back then). So, I just made mine like a month later or so. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
You seem like a pretty chill dude. I think we'll get along great! I can tell you that I personally like it here better than, say, MLP Forums. People here are just, I don't know, better. As for staff, all the ones I've had conversations with are super nice.
