Yeah, the forum is specifically designed for introductions. I think the point that CoAsTeRkRazY is trying to make is that ever since the anti-lurker ?????????must make one post rule????????? went into effect a LOT of threads that go nowhere have been created. I like and hate the anti-lurker policy, it does encourage participation, it does also encourage the creation of threads that are pretty much over after the following:
NewKoasterCid: HI!!!!1!
WeeWeeSlap: Welcome!
Casper: Welcome!
hyyyper: Welcome!
I don't mind it so much. It's just that if people aren?????????t going to make an introduction they should add to the already obscenely long thread titled ?????????Say Hi!????????? that is devoted entirely to just saying ?????????Hi????????? and then falling back into the shadows. New users are creating lots of useless threads that just clutter the front page. I don't know, I think a few of these topics should get locked if people aren?????????t introducing themselves in a topic they created in the forum specifically designed for introductions. It's a terrible habit people are getting in.
Eh, whatever, I'm not a moderator, that's just my $0.02
