+Snoogans Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 On texasgeocaching.com we have an entire Welcome Forum. It's a nice way to say hello and give some friendly encouragement to new members of our board. Our "Welcome!" thread is well into its 28th page. I just noticed that the newest member listing on the front page of the forums is clipping along at a pretty good pace. In the time it took me to decide to start this topic we got at least 3 new members. (In the space of 5 minutes!) So a big WELCOME from me to all the new members! Welcome Smyles, jilian, jinzo, Tylrsail, and the rest. (Man, new members are pouring in. A NEW NAME ALMOST EVERY TIME I HIT REFRESH!!!) I enjoyed Smyles first log entry. It was kinda cool to read it to myself in a British accent. (I'm guessing a small torch that you left is a flashlight?) COME ON! Get on this thread and welcome them aboard!

+carleenp Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Nice idea. Welcome! Quote Link to comment
+sept1c_tank Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 It's amazing to watch the online list...a constant stream of new names. And old ones, too, that you never see posting to the forums. This site is growing in spite of the owner's fascination for frogs! Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted January 2, 2004 Author Share Posted January 2, 2004 I have been having a good time looking up the new profiles and seeing their first few logs. I particularly like the British logs for some reason. I think I'll be spending more time lookin at the British cache pages. Try to welcome them by name. It's more personal. Welcome! sf troop!

+Huntnlady Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Welcome Hike&Hunt. Sounds like my kind of person. Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted January 3, 2004 Author Share Posted January 3, 2004 Hi and welcome to all the new cachers. This is a good idea. Surprising no one has done this before. Well, I see your point. Sorry, I almost never go into the "Getting Started Forum." The point of this thread is to get established members to welcome others by name rather than asking new members step up and say "Hi." There's also the lurker thread for that. Sometimes a personal welcome makes all the difference...... Welcome cacheseekerstoo! Sn gans Quote Link to comment
