Today saw the closure of the Adoption Center, which is sad but it's the changing of the guard in terms of being helpful to the new members. The program became problematic due to misunderstanding, inactive new members and the stress it put on mentors and their mentees. I knew the program also had some flaws, such as rule-breakings being taken into consideration when signing up new mentors. I felt like that was the reason I never wanted to become a mentor in the first place and helped newbies in the easier method of VMs.
What does this mean for the new members? They think they may be left out in the desert since the announcement, but this means I want to help fill the void left by the program's closure by helping every newbie I come across to show them how cool PC is. I want to show them what they might be interested in, and start VM conversations where I can ask them a question or two. I always knew that VMing newbies made them feel more welcome, along with posting in introduction threads.
If anyone's a new member, I'd be happy to make you feel welcome. I may be a PC Supporter and have all those fancy things, and the fact I'm in my 20's, I'm not intimidating or scary. I just love helping newbies fit in. You can always count on Hika!
