What does everyone think of adding an Introductions/Greetings forum for new forum members to introduce themselves into the community? This would help build a strong community and make new members feel more welcome. What do you think?

Great idea, maybe then the members will become more active.
I dunno why but TWF has become a bit of 'quiet' forum the last months. It kinda looks like a messageboard for about 20 people as I always see the same names again on each post...
I think about 70% of all posts are made by Moderators and not by 'just' Members like me. Ain't that strange/a bad sign?

Well, it worked on a similar site, so I thought we ought to give it a try here. If anything, it'll build the happy-go-lucky community atmosphere and make new members feel welcome. Some new members may feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start. This would help that.

I thought that could be done in the General Chat forum.
I'll talk to Chad about it.

This is what I have intended for the General Chat forum.
One thing I did was I moved that stuff up to the top... Maybe if people see it more, they will come in and participate. What do you think?

I don't think it was a smart move in moving that category up there. Let's not lose our focus. Our focus is helping webmasters not General Chat. I'd rather have more discussion in our prime forums than the TWF feedback ones if I had to choose.
