N17R0 | That isn't too bad of a welcoming message. Heh, my moderators make it a game to see who can greet a new member first when they post in the New Members board, it's kinda crazy. | ||

That would be too dificult! I wont raise my post count, and have to go and lurk for new members! Just kidding. Anyways, I wont do this. If someone else wants.....(just don't send 100 messages to new member because we didn't agreed who will send them) WHY? Because I don't think it's more welcome, I think it's more encroachment to member's privacy! |

Unknown Hero has a welcoming message when new people join, he just copies and pastes it when a new member joins. It goes like this: Quote:
But on N17RO idea about PMing new member to make them feel more welcome, it may be better to PM this message from now on. Just an idea. |

Wired | What message are you talking about anyway? | ||

Iron_Scarecrow | Well how about Unknown Pm's his welcome message to the new members? | ||

N17R0 | Even if it's a copy/pasted welcom messages, they are welcoming nonetheless to new members. A board that cares about newcomers is a close community. This also helps with bringing in more people. One of the things we do at my site is we actually have a board specifically for new members to introduce themselves at and where they can get to know some of the regular posters. It really helps in making people more at home. Also, even PMing new members welcoming them to the boards is a really generous way of saying that you're glad to have them join the community, thus reducing the chances they'll never come back. | ||

Unknown Hero | Maybe we should create a poll! (or is it concluded?) | ||
