Thread: Necessary to make so many welcome threads...??

I know the mods and everyone are just trying to be sincere in welcoming new members but the bigger this place gets the faster they will be coming in the front door and is it necessary at this point to make a welcome thread for all of them..?

It was fine in the beginning when there wasn't a lot of traffic but I just counted 11 welcome threads. I use the 'new posts' feature consitently and so all these threads are on the first page for me. Maybe we could just let people introduce themselves as the forum name implies...

By the way, this place is really looking good and everyone involved is doing a great job!

Welcome Reid...

edit: did I take up all the room at the top of the "new posts" by doing my welcomes??

Welcome to you.....

Funny WTM.

Reidman! I personally believe the mods should leave it up to the new 'member' to Introduce their self, vs creating threads on on behalf of a new member.

Why? The forum is called, "Introduce Your Self" . So maybe it's a little unnerving we introduce their self FOR THEM?

I didn't realize it was such an issue! Or they could change the name of the forum to "Welcome to Broncosforums".

Top, Tned, and DN do a great job of making people feel welcome here and everybody has gotten that treatment and a welcome thread since Aug but if they feel people should introduce themselves and they're tired of welcoming the new members, I'm sure they'd stop!

I usually miss most of them. I even missed my own welcome thread...so I think the mods should make me another one

This is true for me too, except yesterday when there was a slew of them on the front page...

I think you're past the welcome stage...

Have you been talking to my wife? She seems to think I need one of those too.

So serious, Nomad. You are absolutely right. Top, tned-mobile, and DN do an amazing job of tracking and welcoming all the new members. Yet, do you not remember one of the new members who came in here (either here or in their welcome thread) and said they didn't want that kind of attention brought to them being on the board? That's why I said "JOKINGLY" it may unnerve some newer members. Maybe you missed that thread/post from that member? It made me laugh aloud, because they were really ticked off having that attention brought to them. I guess not everyone appreciates it.

Seriously? I guess I missed that. Can't please everyone, I guess.
