What do they do? Should I consider joining? Am I automatically part of them?

My entire experience with coding began with this Minecraft mod.

Essentially, I was browsing the Minecraft modding forums, found computercraft, and decided to give programming a try. After getting an incredibly basic handle on Lua through the Lua-users wiki tutorial directory, I searched around a bit more and found a page somewhere (can't find it now) that listed programs that use Lua. Under 2D game engines, 'twas there I found LÖVE.

I've known about it for like a year and a half, but I started using it a couple days ago. I have some programming experience on my hands now. I usually work with pygame, and now Love2d. I just googled 2d game libraries. (Witch is funny because Love is an engine.)

At first, I was coding in Lua for about ~one year and got kinda bored of it. I coded for the minecraft mod 'ComputerCraft.' It is pretty awesome!
I joined the forums from that mod and some guys posted about LÖVE and lately I gave it a shot. It is very awesome :D

I started making PSP Homebrews using LuaPlayer, then one day I searched for "LUA" in Ubuntu's store and I found LÖVE.
