I do think we need to do something to get newbies more familar with the site... I mean I don't want to keep ripping from another forum but I think a newbie scavenger hunt or something along that lines would be really helpful... I see boards all the time on questions that are already answered people just dont know where/how to find them.

I'm sorry I'm making boards back to back..

Well of course we all want newbies to be familiar with the forum areas + rules, who doesn't want that? But I ain't doing some scavenger hunt. Got anything else in mind?

Thats all I can think of atm... Maybe someone has some more ideas?

Yea, tag them in posts. get them involved. bring them into TC sessions, make it a point to take them under your wing and show them the do's and dont's

@(you need an account to see links) , maybe prompt them to automatically go to the rules page so when they break rules theres no excuses since they were forced to read them

Well what I do is when I have time, I go to introductions/talk to my newbie buyers, get to know them and see if they have any questions. It works quite well, and it's fun to get to know someone 1:1! actually doing it right now with a certain @(you need an account to see links)

Just basically talk to the newbies, try and make friends? people are more likely to come out of their shell if they have a friend.

I have seen ALOT of new people on the forum lately so maybe some type of approach would be good ^_^
though I'm still kinda a newb myself compared to most xD

I don't think many people would wanna do a scavenger hunt, I could be wrong though.
The best way imo is just to get them involved. If they post, don't be rude and tell them to read the rules, answer the question. It won't take that long to help out and maybe they looked and couldn't find the answer themselves. It's little things like that that keep people around.
I like to think everyone here is friendly and helpful, it's the littlest things that go the furthest. Don't let me down
