Too save time space and what sounds like hassle could you not simply have an automated welcome email/ PM from the group admins.

Save space on forum and surely new members could be made welcome whilst early days of posting. :-?

To be honest if i join a new forum i very rarely even look at welcome/newbies thread....just jump in and start posting.

Not the case for everyone though.

When I joined, it took me a week to pluck up the courage to post a hello, and when the welcomes came in it made a hell of a difference.

Yes point taken skuntie... ;)

An automated PM is sent at registration.

The Newbie area is very valuable, and helps those not so familiar with computers/forums etc

Some people are nervous about posting, incase they say something wrong, (technical or otherwise).

I mean a good example is Skruntie..... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Great feeling isnt it not caring....allows you too do and say all them things youve always wanted too but couldnt and do things that are frowned on.

Like wearing womens clothes on a friday night out on the town and calling yourself Mildred... :y
