afaic these threads aren't spammy. They're to welcome back/new members to the forums. It's far better to introduce yourself to the forums imo. Anyways welcome back fiend, and don't spam.

btw before any of u new users cam I used to be a spammer. Nothing to brag about mind you ;)

Maybe they'd be alright if people didn't post whore them. I still think (and have suggested many times), that we just have a general introduction thread. One post per person, that can be freely edited, and gives as much or as little information as the user wishes.
Actually, better yet, why not make a welcome forum? Then you don't have to mess with the posting, because you can disable post count additions in the forum.

I think Glenn's idea would work fine, the forum I visit most has a newbie introduction forum, the newbs always end up posting in their first, and you can only go through and say hi to new members for so long, it gets it out of the way of other "real" threads.

I seen forums that use the idea Glenn has. they had a "Im New Here/Im Going for a while/im back" forum i think that would be a good idea anyway.

Good idea. And of course the post count shouldn't increase when you post there.

The only problem I see with that is too often when somebody comes back and posts in a thread they get swamped with "welcome back!" and effectively the thread is hi-jacked, I'm all up for the idea of a new sub-forum though.

The person would get many "Welcom Back" messages, that would get on anyones nerves.

See that's the thing, I really don't think they would, I just came back to my forum which has 3,000 members. I got no PM's, but I did effectively get 3 threads hi-jacked simultaneously.

Much too daunting a task for everyone to PM the person, and besides, most newbies don't use the PM's anyway, so where would you be?
