On one of the other boards that I post on they have a sub-forum to welcome new members. You post hello I'm new here threads. I thought this was a pretty neat idea and an easy way to get more comfortable with posting on the site for the first time. All our new members could post why they joined PC and a little bit about themselves, and the rest of us can welcome and give them encouragement with replies. Just an idea. Don't know if anyone else would agree.

This board isn't really a PC board it has lots of different direct sales companies on it. but you may want to check it out.
I believe it's http://www.bestofboards.com/index.html Then click on message boards. It's saved in my favorites so if this link doesn't work let me know.
This one should be good now too. You can also access the tealited tidbits it has games etc. but it is a PL site.

Yahoo GroupsHi everybody. This is my first time posting. I signed my agreement last week, but because of activities my kids are in, I've chosen to not do my first superstarter month until November, so I don't have my starter kit yet. 
So, I spend all of my free time online searching for Pampered Chef info and studying all of everything I can find as much as I can so that when I get my stuff I am ready to go. Needless to say I've found a few things. Try going to the "groups" section on Yahoo and search for Pampered Chef. I have found a few interesting ones on there. I believe MSN has a similar section. One that I've found to be full of a lot of good information is http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Pampered_Chef_USA/ but there are many many others.
Just a note though...chefsuccess is my favorite so far!

Welcome Chrissy...don't get too let down....even though your super starter month isn't until November, you should still be receiving your kit very soon. I signed up the end of july and got my kit the first or second weekend in august and my super starter isnt until now...september!!! So keep your hopes up, I'm sure it will get there soon and you can start practicing!!! Keep in mind that kids are great for pampered chef too...I have a friend that makes her kids help her put togther host and guest packets, stamp her catalogs, and whatever else she needs help with. They also make great guinea pigs for recipe testing as you know they will tell you the truth as far as if its good or not!
Welcome and good luck with your business. If I were you, I would start setting up host/guest packets now and start getting those bookings!!! "what you do now will effect your business in 90 days!" -quoted from many other consultants

Kit ShipmentSince your SS1 is November, they will ship your kit on October 1st. (they say the first week of the month, but I've found it's the first workday of the month prior to SS1)
FYI: if you're SS1 is November and you sign October, the kit will ship right away. Basically, they try to give you a full month of "extra" SS1 time in addition to shipment time.
