Newbie's Endless Threads.

~Chibi*Moonlight~ · 08:58 AM

Lately i find it happening more than i can stand it.. maybe others are suffering like me, maybe not!

But i have to tell you about the "Newbie's" endless threads. Isn't enough to post in any thread like us without making a thread just to say "Im new"? Can't they say im new while posting in any thread? And we can know who is new and who is not! I dunno, but i really am sick of it. And what im saying DOESN'T mean that the newbies are unwelcomed. The threads are just annoying! That's all what i have to say. I dunno! But if you find me wrong or something correct me please.

They can say they're new in any thread as long as they also discuss the topic, yeah, but no one can give them a public welcome.

So many can be overwhelming, but I think not allowing them to be made would just be mean.

It wont be "mean" since they are more than the threads that we "need". And we know them and we can welcome them, we can pm them rather than taking space on "Say hi to me casue im newbie" tis kinda annoying!

My suggestion is, why not making a corner (i dunno what they call it) for the newbies? Like there is a corner for reading and music and.. etc? The is another corner for general chat?

i am really for a noob section, where people introduce themselves, so it doesnt clutter up the general discussion

No one would ever bother to post or even look in that forum. And newbies like to be given a warm welcome when they first come to a board, not pushed into a separate forum that no one ever visits. *shrugs* I dunno, I guess I still relate a lot more with the newbies than with the 'regular' members, so I don't get annoyed by the newbies threads as much.

I like Newbie threads. I think you get a better feel of who the person is from a Newbie thread than if they just made a random post in some thread.

There were quite a few lately, but I think they're a nice change of pace from the regular threads. I don't think of them as clutter.

I didn't say that they cause any clutter or anything. I meant the big amount of the the newbies threads. That's all.
And no one would visit the section of the newbies, why? I dun think that no one will visit the section of the newbies, but the poeple who wana welcome them they can go there and welcome them. And tis the same thing. They will have thier own corner, where they are welcomed.

I still dunno, but all i talking about is that the big amount of it. Thats all.

The solution to this problem isn't that hard people.

Make a newbie forum.."but what about all the clutter!?"

Don't let it go past one or two pages...duh. Prune that forum constantly.
