### Greetings Steemians, 

 I know a lot of you have probably heard of or seen a lot of posts concerning the #minnowsupportgroup or other versions of the name, such as PAL (Peace, Abundance & Liberty). Maybe you have wondered what we are, or maybe you just thought that we're just a group of desperate minnows trying to get a leg-up in a big Steemy world?

### So What is PAL or MSP?

PAL or MSP, simply put is a brotherhood of minnows, supported by several well known and generous people within the Steemit community. Founded by @aggroed around 7 days ago, we have already passed the 850 member threshold and there is no end in sight to us slowing our growth.

### What Do We Do?

Our main aim is to support and encourage new users to the platform. They have somewhere they can go to be nurtured, taught and flourish under such a great banner. The idea is we help and encourage good content and we support other minnows with their posts and curation. It really is a place for anyone to thrive.

### Why Should I Join?

You should join, because we're awesome!

There really is no place quite like it, we have had several well respected Steemit members comment on how warmly they were received in to our Discord channel. We love some good banter, and we love to help. If you are new to Steemit, then we can certainly help you find your fins and get swimming ASAP, but even if you have been around a long time and feel stuck, we're still here to help. 

Whether you are a minnow or a whale, there is a place for you in our growing family, everyone is welcome and we really do hope everyone feels that way. 

I joined the group around 5 days ago and I have already made some solid friends. It doesn't matter what your status is within the Steemit platform, there is room for everyone. There is no discrimination here, on solidarity and brotherhood (or sisterhood).

We share the same goal in not only growing our Steemit accounts and the Steemit platform itself, but of supporting other people who need the help and direction in getting started. We have taken over the role of a Steemit help and support group. No questions are stupid (except the really stupid ones) and everyone is quick to answer and assist.
