Program newbie threads to self-destuct (or self delete) after one week ;D
Why should we have to.  If I can manage not to do it, yet still manage to welcome members, so can everyone else....

We can go in and prune the threads, actually some pruning may not be a bad idea...

BUT, as I said before, you drag up an old welcome thread, and we will drag down your post count... severely!

I am against the general principle of pruning, sometimes useful snippets get lost that way....

Pruning needs to be done carefully...

However, to prevent any more foolishness with the newbie posts I have locked them... ;)

Where are they all?  50 new members in a month and only a couple of posts in newbie welcome section.  Admittedly I've never posted my hello and think it's a bit late now, but that was before Tunnie's new how to be a newbie guide.
