Welcoming New Members

Program newbie threads to self-destuct (or self delete) after one week

Why should we have to.  If I can manage not to do it, yet still manage to welcome members, so can everyone else....

Thats not a bad idea.....well not going that far  .....i agree with TB welcome area gives confidence/etc.....is there anyway then to lock threads in the welcome area after say a week/2 weeks automatically??

You're just getting withdrawal symptoms cause you have'nt had anyones posts off for a while

Agreed....but your upto over 5000+ posts and maybe some members want a quick boost to the next level

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!

Well said LB    Not that im replying to add another post to mine of course  
Actually i carnt remember the last time i visted the welcome area

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

[Admin]

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.

Sorry I meant Timbuk and I see it's buried on page 2 and never made it as a sticky.
