We could use a "I'm Back!" forum
 
I noticed that in the New users welcome area, that most of the threads are people saying that they're back from being away for a while. So, why not have a place just for people to say that they're back? It would help the new user's from being clutered up with threads not made by new people.

Sounds like a good idea. That way there wouldn't be so many welcome back threads closed and all. I think it's a good idea so far.

Sorano May 8th, 2005 5:50 PM

I dont really feel that there is a need for such a place. ^^; As far as I can see, there arent very many welcome back threads nowadays, and I'm not having very many problems with people posting them there. :33

Yes, but the place has way more "I'm Back!" Threads then "Hello ^^" threads. Also, the forum says New Users/Welcome" not "I've been gone and I'm back."

So, in other words the "I'm Back" threads are off topic logicaly.

Shikon no Tama May 8th, 2005 5:56 PM

True Rukario Master, but look at the information below the link for New Users/Welcome:

New users can announce themselves and be welcomed to the community. This is the starting pad for new members.
Also, if you've returned to PC after at least a month of absence, feel free to get a warm re-welcome here.

MewSkitty May 8th, 2005 5:58 PM

Oh, well I find haveing welcome back and I'm here threads a little clutering, but that's just me and everyone's opinion is the only one that truley counts. So, just post saying if you agree with my idea or not and why. Then the Admins can decide by your opinions on rather to make the forum or not.

I'm with Karli. It's really not hard at all for the both of us to handle the NU/W forums even with welcome and welcome back threads together. ^^

Now, I'm not saying it wasn't a good idea, but it was only recently that a bunch of members returned all at once, so there's really no need to create another forum. ^_____^

Well I don't see much of a need for it. There isn't many threads from members saying they are back. And even if we did have a forum I really don't think anyone will go in there and see who came back.

MegaDitto May 8th, 2005 6:16 PM

I have a question. Speaking fo this. Would'nt be good to change the tittle of the forum to New User/Welcome and Return or something like that?. But I don't think the forum is needed.

link_ May 8th, 2005 6:18 PM

I think Arcanine is right. Not many people would go to see who's back. But it sounds like a good idea if there were more welcome back threads than there are now.

Hey, I was just about to say that. ^.^

So, what about the idea of changing the forum name to "New User Welcome and Return" or something like that?

Natsuki May 8th, 2005 6:24 PM

Noooooo, please don't do that. XD I kinda like it just being New Users / Welcome. :3 Buuuuuut, let's see how it'd look, shall we?

New Users / Welcome / Return

OR

New Users / Welcome and Return

OOOOOOR

Welcome / Return

XDD

~Kelsey

MewSkitty May 8th, 2005 6:28 PM

I think Welcome / Return would be a good name.

link_ May 8th, 2005 6:32 PM

YEP, Welcome / Return would look nice... I think hehe :P

MewSkitty May 8th, 2005 6:34 PM

How about we vote for if to change the forum and, and to what. Everyone already knows my opinion on this. Which is I agree on changing the name, and changing it to "Welcome / Return" or something like that.

Pincushion May 8th, 2005 6:49 PM

Or perhaps just a I'm Back thread...

MewSkitty May 8th, 2005 6:53 PM

An I'm back thread is also a good idea. Though IMO changing the forum name would be funner. Change is fun.

Well it is up to the Senior Staff on name changing. And both Moderators of that forum said they are not for a new forum.
I don't think there is a need for a new forum. Or even a name change. New members isn't over run with welcome back threads, so there isn't a need for a forum or a name name change of the forum.

MewSkitty May 8th, 2005 6:56 PM

Ok. Seeing how a decision has been made, I don't think this thread is any longer needed. I guess it shall be closed now.

No it hasn't been made. I'm just saying I don't see a need for it.

MewSkitty May 8th, 2005 7:05 PM

Oh, I just assumed that since your an Admin you had the final say. Very well, keep this thread open for future replies.

Well, I think we have enough stickied threads in NU/W as it is. ^^; I feel that it just makes more sense to allow welcome back and newbie welcome threads in the forum. ^^; But things such as leaving threads and whatever should just go in the Leave of Absence thread that's stickied in NU/W. ^o^ *hops around* :33

Claire May 10th, 2005 2:50 AM

Ya, i wouldn't say there's a need for a whole new section/sub. The absense sticky is enough for short away-periods, and the welcome section doesn't seem cluttered enough to split out the 1-month+ returns from the new users threads :3
