View Full Version : Introductions- POLL

Ran across my mind the other day since there are a lot of people signing up daily. Not sure if it would be used or not but what do you guys think of an "Introduction" section? Possibly a sub-forum of the Sandbar? It might entice new signups to post? Introduce themselves, where the boat, how they found us, etc...?
Any thoughts?

I say have em post up here.
If they don't get a reply in the intro section bc most of us, 6 Elis, forget any other section exists, they may feel ignored.
Besides, this place is so friendly, there's no reason why anyone should feel uncomfortable posting.
You know what? I could be the greeter! Give the daily sign ups and I'll PM them with a nice PM, make them comfortable. I think I'm good at helping people come out of their shell...or run and hide ;)

I hear what your saying GH, but agree with Joker. Site is very friendly and outgoing meaning they shouldn't have any issue merging into the Sandbar topics. Yea, it's a little like the first day of school or changing schools but everyone has been met with open arms and many have stayed on board here. I think of forums as being in a bar via the Internet, drinking and have conversation from your living room. Just like the bar, you can move to a different topic if one isn't of interest to you. I vote to keep it like it is rather than segregate new people.

Solid feedback so far everyone, thanks.
Weird, I will look into it. It may be defaulted to you must have 25 posts before like the HBOTM.

Admin is checking in to the 25 post deal. It came up with the race promoter poll thread too. We'll get it fixed.

We will all take turns. I'll feel bad for the people who get PMs from BC Eli

That's funny. I bet if I asked you in all seriousness, you would say you wouldn't even trust yourself to be a mod LOL

IMO there should be an introduction thread, also "Lurkers" should be redirected to the "Intro. Page" after 60 seconds of not signing in.:happy:

Just click on someone's user name. For example: to the left of this post where it says GotHalos, click on my name, then select private message.

Btw ...imho a welcome thread should be pinned at the top of the sandbar and each new signee should be automatically redirected there their first time in......kinda like when you sign into hotel wifi it takes you to their special page first.
Probably a locked thread so the rest of us morons don't ruin it right away like many others but with a great intro and good info to make them feel at ease to post.....perhaps even an easy link for them to start their own thread and break the ice.

It really depends on which stage of the swag and where...i.e. If I'm at an event it's Party Girl Eli but over the Internet it's Legally Blonde Eli bc she's in work mode.

This is a fantastic idea. I would've liked to have something to guide me around. I still need guidance ;)
