hi to all

People seem to have done an OK job introducing themselves over the years without needing a special section to do it, but it would be easy enough to add.

Just more unnecesary clutter, or something useful? Discuss . . .

I think it's a good idea. There's quite a lot of people register and never post (not even spam

). Maybe it'd stimulate them.

I'd like to be stimulated please, but no offence Matt, not by your good self.
Just not my type I'm afraid.

Nasher.

People generally join forums (and post) when they have something to say - and it's usually not just "Hi, my name is gArf and I have a small willy", but to get involved in an event, ask a question, sell something etc.
So FWIW I don't think a sticky adds any value.

Judging by earlier posts, a small willy

excellent,- brightening up tea after a very late night return from Glasgow,

Well I think it would be good, because people can tell us a bit about them selves and what they do. Often I see peeps posting in a thread when its their first post, and they always feel they have to say that this is their first post, first. I think a meet and greet area is good, where, folks get to say hello and be welcomed by forum members, it would give a more positive welcome to them and their posts, and lets others know something about the poster too. I think sometimes this is good, because it helps a replying poster omit things that are needless and unneccessary, when they know some of the background of the thread starter for example, or in a reply that they may wish to make.

Maybe a text box on the public profile would do the trick ?

I think there is enough rooms/forums on here already.

I think a say hi forum could become very repetative

Hi im xyz and this is my first post.

Hi im abc and this is my first post etc etc etc.

Ok John.. no big result so far,... fair enough.. I think the peeps underestimate a welcome zone and what it does. They may be comfy, but the quest for te server owner should be MORE!
