Foo - I need help from the Foo regulars...

I'm looking for a few people to help welcome new members to the forums. I noticed quite a few of the threads in the introductions forum have no replies and I don't have time to personaly welcome each member to the forums.
Are any of you guys up to welcoming new members to the site? If you see any threads that have zero replies after a day or two, can you bump them up to the top with a friendly welcome? Quite a few threads started in the introductions forum should be placed elsewhere, if you see any, report the post to a mod, and we will move it to where more forum members can help out.

I'd also be glad to check in there every day or so and give a welcome to the newbies. I have done that from time to time in the past anyway. No problem Joe.
I'm in too.
We can always use the fresh blood here.... Mmmmm fresh blood :D

Cool! I think an active welcome team will keep the new members posting and happy. I picked you guys becouse I know the Foosters are the most addicted to this site. ;)
You're one of the P&R crowd, or are you in the closet now? ;)
Nah, just a bit schizoid. There's nice Stacey that hangs in Foo and everywhere else, then there's evil Stacey who hangs in P&R and has a blue star.
Problem is, I can never tell which one is in control :eek:

Looks like the freakin' Welcome Wagon just came to town. I think as long as we don't start asking them "Have you thought about your relationship with God today?" We'll be ok.

"Have you thought about your relationship with God today?"
Which one?
:D
Still a lot of 0-replies on page 2 and 3...
I'll do my bit in the morning. Now it's time to sleep.
Which one?
:D
Dimeter, of course
What if they read this thread; wont they know that our welcome was staged.
You do have a point there, don't you.

Lock it!
i am wondering why he did not ask us folks in ss/fg. we are always so welcoming to new members in our own forum!
Siu Blue Wind
08-04-06, 12:36 PM
This wasn't staged. It was a gentle reminder to not ignore our new members.

You should make I-Like-To-Bike welcome one new member in "Introductions" for every post he makes in another subforum. :)

No. It's outta the kindness of your heart, Jyo. Sheesh. You're starting to sound like Merton.

I brought this up at a friend's party last week.
Is a woman twisting away from your kisses and murmuring "not yet, let's wait awhile" your idea of heaven?
Or would you prefer 40 Angelina Jolies kicking in the door, cracking a whip, and yelling " Let me show ya what I used to do to Billy Bob!!!".
:D
P.S. I'm in.
