    I don't think everyone looks in the "Announcements" forum and I also think we need to welcome new users more warmly. How about going back to where I put announcements in General Discussion and we create an "Introduce Yourself" forum? Many other forums have this and I think it works well.

    Thanks,
    rob

    That idea has a copyright on it. You'll be hearing from WYO's lawyer!

    Unbelievable!

    I think you should also add a place where it talks about people who have been banned from fchat. You could call it, "Town of the Banned"

    I think the "Lurkers" thread on the Ferrari Discussion forum does quite well already as an "Introduce Yourself" thread. I read the new entries and occasionally send a greeting, as do others.

    Most forums I'm on have a "New Members Forum" where new members can introduce themselves.

    I like the Introduce Yourself idea, but I also think Announcements should remain. So I didn't vote.

    I want a group hug thread.

    And a "You're still here?" thread

    And a "Bhurka Thread"

    And a moratorium/proctoring on noob posts until 10-15 posts, no new threads until same
    A "Use the SEARCH" interactive game to sign in.

    And maybe a subsegment of Telaio that has actually owned or driven some of the cars attached to the serial numbers?

    And a Troll walk of shame. With pics. And one-line greatest hits, you know, 4 chickens, a coke, and a tail number?

    I think I visit announcements every two months to see what I missed.
