New members need to be welcomed..Dont they?

I have been on line for about 3 hours now and noticed we have two new members.

They introduced themselves , but got no welcome from anyone except me.

Is that the way to go with new members who could have a realm of information waiting to be unleashed to us?

At the very least, maybe some of you could at least say welcome.

I'm betting a lot of the newer members just don't respond to welcome threads, just because..

I think the "elder" members do a great job of welcoming new members....

ask SpittinCobra, he does a great job of welcoming new members, almost every one of them I think..

as does Asala to name another...

I've also noticed that sometimes it takes a day or so for the members to see and respond to a welcome thread..

I don't think it's anything to worry about...

may be your right. what with the time diff and all...

by the way.... welcome bikereddie

LMAOOOOOOO

thankyou..its about time too

glad to see this thread has created some movement towards the newbies though

I sometimes say g'day to a new member who says some interesting things in his or her intro. I like to do that occasionally, with a personal touch.

I got one reply to my first Intro, and ended up marrying the 'respondent'.

Beware, LOL.

Well, I sometimes reply to Intro threads and also send U2s to new members welcoming them and asking for help.

I have been slacking lately, sorry.

Surf

Same as surf, i often u2u a new member to say hi and pass a few links on,

I think one of the reasons here is that we have had lot more new members latley, (understatement )

So its been a little hard to keep on top lol..

But there are alot of member who do welcome more or less every member,
Its great to see and really helps a new member feel welcome,

So keep it up all

ok im moving this to chit chat as i feel its a better place for us to discuss this and alot more members will read it there hopefully adding a few more welcomers to the intro forum,

also think of something like i have in my sig, started a long time ago by webdevil....

New member helpline,
