kjordan2001 Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 What would this forum do for new people? So they can say "Hi, I'm new"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Grey Member Posted June 7, 2004 Author Member Share Posted June 7, 2004 To make it easy for them..... Plus, they can post there and not worry about posting in a wrong forum, and they don't have to worry if they are breaking the rules by posting a welcome topic, like I did.... :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt74441 Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 We've had this discussion before, or was it about milestone threads? I don't remember. But a sub forum for this is not necessary. We're a community here, we're not trying to separate anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted June 7, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 7, 2004 I think one pinned thread for all new people to introduce themselves would be nice as long as it is post count locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Grey Member Posted June 7, 2004 Author Member Share Posted June 7, 2004 (edited) Don't forget to put on the first post: Burns: I'm afraid it's not that simple. As punishment for your desertion, it's company policy to gice you the plague.Smaithers: Uh,sir that's the plaque. Burns: Ah yes, the special demotivational plaque to break what's left of your spirit. Because, you see, you're here forever. [smithers screws a plaque into the wall] Burns: Don't forget, you're here forever!

MxxCon Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 gerry74_ your signature is 240kb, which is WAY TOO BIG according to neowin rules. if you save it as 8bit image it'll be just 15kb why the hell would anybody "beta test" a thread? :blink: and in general, why would make such special accomodations for morons? all normal people know that when you join a message board you: read rules, lurk to know msgboard's "mood", post in correct forum. making those special accomodations will only breed ignorance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second: To beta test it is to see if it works out or not... Third: Some people are new to forums and that, so they don't know what to do, so by having this will help them...

Banzai Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I think we should have some sort of sub forum no idea of a name for it, that would have all posts made in it locked so they dont count towards your final post count, and also have any welcome, x000 posts or any forum games in, we could call it the chatter box.

MxxCon Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 are you here to post bull**** in "chatter box" or have a quality discussion? once again making a forum for this crap will needlessly increase server load, disk storage, encourage "n00bness". general discussion, sports, media, Area 51, Real World Issues, The Soapbox are all for this non-tech related crap and now you want to categorize it even further? i don't think neowin is the right forum for you. i think you should go look for "teen chat" or some other msgboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannes Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 i dont think there really is need for this forum simple because neowin is and will always be a tech related community, adding more forums will take away the original point of this forum. neowin does not want this and most members wont want it either, we want tech stuff. the post number thread, welcome threads & game threads are not flooding the area at the moment so there really is no need for another forum in my opinion. maybe when the topics get out of hand it could be easily done.
