Don't Introduce Yourself Then Leave

Phoenix · 12-04-2007, 12:56 AM

If you're unsure if you're going to stick around, don't post an Intro. Simple.

Read the list of names in this section. How many of those have >100 posts? Or even >15 posts? Many barely have >5. It's just a waste of bandwidth and encourages certain members to spam "welcomes", in a generic manner in order to gain +1 PC. Jib it. It's not worth the hassle.

Make an intro if you're sticking around. And whilst we're at it, read the stickies. So many newcomers are negged/infracted for breaking rules they don't know exist because they cannot follow advice. (Like this. I bet most nubs ignore this entirely.)

That'll do my whining for now. Just a thought - Before you hit "New Thread", think "Will I ever read it?". If no, just hit the nice "X" at the top right of your browser.

Yes i totaly agree, and its time someone has truely made a thread about this nuesence, some people make good threads, and they don't realy apear on the home page of this forum cause of newcomers making thread.

I didn't need an intro, chances are you don't either. Just post and establish yourself and if people care enough they will ask for more information about you in pms or on an im.

I'm fully aware that hardly any of the first few hundred-ish people to join this forum had to post anything like an intro thread because we already knew each other, but still...

Haha, my old account is number 102. I feel sooo cool now. ;p

Legendary Drow · 12-04-2007, 01:16 AM

I didn't need an intro either because I had enough forum experience elsewhere to know the rules and such.
Yea, I'm just that cool.

Intro's are pretty lame since the majority of people give the generic welcome, "Welcome. Post smart and have fun."

S3RO · 12-04-2007, 01:17 AM

lol, its funny because nobody will read it. Most people dont know if they will stick around after they join anyway.
