HEJ DÅ! WIE GEHT ES? WELCOME TO PC! 幻音幻音! ЗДРАСТВУЙТЕ!!

So what do you do with new members? Do you post in their welcome thread, approach them and start talking and stuff (I'm looking at you Hikariiiiiiiii) or do you tend to avoid talking to anyone with a lower post count and later join date than you?

I've tried to greet newbies a few months back but it later dawned on me that most of my greeting posts were pretty much the same but worded a bit differently so it became hard to continue that trend. Nowadays, I only reply to certain introduction threads every once in a while. Same goes for Celebration threads, too.

Sometimes I stumble upon newbies posting threads in the Art Gallery so I usually leave a reply there and perhaps friend request them depending on how I'm feeling at the time. There's not much I do other than that. >:

I've tried to be active in New Users / Welcome, but it's really hard to come up with things to say unless the person really gives you something to work with. I'm not going to give up, but saying that I post in their welcome threads would be a lie at this point because I haven't for quite a while :P

I don't exactly approach them, but I don't avoid them either. I encourage anybody to VM me if they want to!

One should know that I tend to greet new users, except those who are requesting Roleplaying/ROM Hacking.

And yes droomph, expect me to greet a new user.

I don't do anything with new members, unless they do something that stands out to me or has an interesting username that catches my attention or if they talk to me first. I don't go out of my way to greet them or interact with them, but I don't go out of my way to avoid them. If we cross paths, I'll communicate with them. If not, I won't. Has nothing to do with having a lower post count or newer join date than me. I just don't care enough to be bothered by interacting with every new member.

I dont really talk to a lot of new members. If they VM me or something I will talk to them, Im happy to, but other than that I really dont talk to new users here.

I try to greet them, either on thread, PM, VM, or just anyway I can. Some stay talking to me and others go their separate ways on the forums.

i used welcome a lot when i was new but nowadays I don't welcome much

i don't welcome new members because i can't really say anything beyond, "welcome to PC! hope you have fun!"

It depends how busy I am. I like to welcome new people that have an interesting, thought out post (more than "hai im newz heer"), but I'd rather post in more on topic threads. =P

If I only talked to people with a higher post count, or joined before me... I wouldn't be talking to too many people now would I? XD

I don't go out of my way to talk to new people. If they send me a PM, or VM I'll reply back. But as far as welcoming them, or singling them out in threads... nah they don't need a scary Staff Admin to say "hi".

I like to pop in to NU/W and welcome a few people, but normally I do that on a semi-random basis, with no real strategy as to who to welcome or how to welcome them. If I see a new member making good posts and having a good time, I'll sometimes leave a nice post comment or VM; likewise, if any member - whether old or new - makes the effort to talk to me, I try and return the courtesy. But I don't make a special case for new members... or old members, for that matter! :D

Well, it depends if their interests are the same as mine, because I could talk about it for days. Sometimes, if they are mature enough, then same thing applies.
