Welcoming New Members
« on: 05 December 2006, 18:23:51 »
A quick plea.

Whilst we all want to welcome new members and encourage them, just lately this seems to be getting a little daft, with new posts going on to very old welcome threads.

Can we try to refrain from welcomes on welcome threads older than around a week please?

Of course the other option is to make posts here and in the newbies forum not go towards your post count.  :o ;)

I think it shows we are a friendly community if we welcome new members in such a way.  But its a bit daft dragging up 3 month old welcomes....

Especially if they'd joined before the person doing the welcoming.......
