New members on SM

There appear to be a lot of newly signed up members to SM over the past couple of weeks. A lot of good activity and some really productive and informative discussions.
Read this thread as a welcome to the boards -- I like to give a welcome to newbies but just have not been active enough recently.

I will add, there is a wealth of wonderful information and experience here. Do take the time to search and to familiarise yourself with the culture of the board. I think you will find it is an amazing place -- quite different from anything else I have come across on the web. The quirky old-school bullitin board format is a whole lot different from what passes for social media these days and it suits us rather well.

I am aware of at least one situation where a new account has been afflicted by overzealous spam mitigation and deleted. If this has happened to you, then my apologies. Please stick around and contribute and don't take it personally.

  • Because a stale welcome or form letter is not a welcome.
  • Because the current influx of new members is not something that has happened for a while.
  • Because in the 24 hours this thread has been around, it got only one reply.
