I think it's very rude to all the newbies when people look at their introductions and do not say :hi: or anything.
I have just seen one newbie with 22 views and no-one put a hello on there, that is just plain rude IMO. :no:
Just think back to when you were a newbie, were you welcomed? how did you feel?
It only takes a few seconds to say :hi:.
come on guys we're all able to be polite, so lets post those welcomes! :D
 
When I was a newbie, I never introduced myself. :lol:

I've not answer a few newbies, but that was because I don't like giving an empty hello. I like to answer a question they post or react to what they say. If I can't, then I don't post.

As for those who post and don't say hi, I said nearly the same thing you did.
 
Yeah, but there are people who say hello anyways...
Certain individuals just go down the list and add :hi: to each post. :lol:

Oh well. What they hey. Why not?
 
I like saying Hi to Newbies as I was one myself not so long ago and this seemed like such a nice forum to join. I got a few responses too which was nice!
 
I don't think I've ever been to the Introductions area. I usually don't introduce myself on forums because 20 replies saying "welcome" aren't all that useful to me. :) Each his own.

It wasn't aimed at people who don't go in there, as I said 22 views and no hellos is just plain rude. why read an introduction and not reply! I just don't get it? am I being an :alien: or am I just :crazy: for thinking we are all polite people. :dunno: you tell me.
 
I usually go in there and view the newbies to see the new people to look forward to talkin to but i think its kinda cheap to go over and say hi to everyone just so they can get a post count

Well before I agree or disagree with you, did the newbie say something in their post that might've offended people reading it? :lol:
 
I usually go in and say hi, to those with no replies,i don't like saying hi to them all incase someone says about the post count. :sad: otherwise i would post in them all.

I rarely go in the newbies forum. Could be that the newbie clicked on his/her own thread 22 times looking to see if someone replied yet. I can't imagine one newbie not being welcomed while others are being greeted with arms wide open -_-

Dose the post count really matter?
It's not like we get a prize for the most posts or anything!
I am becomming very disillusioned with this entire site and peoples attitude on it! :no: :grr:
