Introductions Subforum

[LittleAtari]

i don't see what this has to do with anime, music, or videos.

(i support it though )

thanks for supporting. It has to do with the people that like anime and music. It also deals with the people that like making and watching videos.

i'm joking

i'm all for this, be a lot less threatening, and just yesterday i was wondering where the Org's introduction forum was xD

I support this in principle, but you have to wonder whether that's gonna be tricky to actually keep on topic...

The topic of thread will pretty much be about the person that started it. If the person says they like cupcakes, then some people may actually talk about cupcakes in that intro thread. That's why there should be a limit of some sort on the thread. I'm thinking of a one week limit before the thread is locked to minimize spam and such. I'm assuming that everyone that comes to this site likes anime, music, and AMVs and would like to talk about those or themselves as creators or viewers. It wouldnt hurt to try it out and see how it goes.

This intro section can also have a sticky which FallChild and I can write up that welcomes members and features quicklinks to important topics or FAQs for new members.

I agree with this. We need one to make the newbies feel welcomed.

If this does happen, it wouldn't be a bad idea for already established users to make a thread and to keep the old threads searchable. So a noob who is wondering just who that person they see posting all over the forums is can look up their thread.

I support this

[Kitsuner]

I'm not opposed to this. It might even work out as a substitute for the Relationship Forum.

I support this idea. I know what it feels like to enter the org as a complete stranger and try to build yourself up little by little. I think an introduction thread would be helpful, just for helping newbies feel more at peace when trying to join.

That all sounds really brilliant. A week is plenty of time to get intros in, and we can spare ourselves the inevitable "HOW DO I UPLOAD TO THE ORG" questions that pop up everywhere.
