Okay. It may take another "Moderator" or someone with a load of time on their hands, but it might be nice to have the "Newbie" section actually post each and every new member's name as a new thread. The "title" would be the new member's name, and we could welcome him/her at that point. If someone's profile is in our region, we could tailor the response to them. Right now, not too many take the initiative to post there... and that's a shame. This might just be the cattle-prod to get them involved faster.

It would be an original way to make everyone feel at home here, and keep them coming back.
