Author Topic: If we're expecting many new members, we should have another section  (Read 1273 times)

every other forum I've ever been to has a section for introducing yourself. this is the only one I can recall visiting that doesn't. and it's definitely the only one I've used that tends to look down on it. so I just wanted to put that out there, that maybe we'd need one

I agree, we need an introduction section. Especially with the possible wave of all the new members we're going to get.

I agree, it would ease General Discussion a bit.

I'm sorry but what's with the sudden flood of requests regarding the Steam release?

Why does everyone think that stuff should be changed just because there's going to be more new users from now on?

something like this should be changed. it never should have been like it is to begin with

well everyone flames whoever makes a "i'm new" topic so...


but then again it's probably because of how many ALTS are here

maybe you could try an "I'm new!" megathread

i've seen that in the past

just a thread filled with i'm new posts
no topics
get's the job done

unless there's an issue with it

like no one other than new people will read it

which is dumb and weird
nobody new would know that anyway, and if many of them have ever used another forum, some would certainly make a topic saying hello. whether or not there's a section for it. which is why there should be. because 1. who wants a bunch of topics just flopping about and 2. it should have been there from the beginning because people need to introduce themselves

or not

I've only ever seen that on one forum and it was a bad way of doing it. it's just cluttered and nobody pays attention to it at all

would anyone pay attention to a section devoted to "I'm new's"? (ok there'll be some but still)


besides
we're better than that!
we're not that possibly crummy forum you found

WE'RE BLOCKLAND

yeah. introduction threads in a dedicated section generally get several replies, more depending on how big the community is, as opposed to the one, or two if you're lucky, responses you'd get in that one big thread for it

the only difference there was that the people are nicer

Nah, I don't want to make people feel obliged to do it, nor do I feel like this forum is small enough to justify new member introductions.

oh yeah

well i guess it could get added but it'll probably get ignored on a whole

if everyone ignores it no harm done

if people respond then that's good

as long as there's not a bigger suggestion like removing the drama section

I should go through every page of add-ons and get the link to the topic, and a working download link, then make a megathead

I still fail to see what the point of those stupid introduction boards on other forums is
Might aswell skip the pointless post that noone will reply to anyways
