Thank you Kevin for your post. The rest of my comments are to the KickAS forum members at large. I hope this does not sound harsh, It is not meant to be, I hope my candor does not offend anyone.
Do you remember how it was when you made your first post? Did you lurk for a few days before you got up the nerve to post? When you finally did post did you watch everyone commenting all around you in other posts while only a few members welcomed you. Did this happen to you? If it didn't or you didn't percieve it that way, you are lucky. Did the people who welcomed you encourage you come back with an update or did they just welcome you and never come back to the original post to find out or ask how you are doing?
Did we just say welcome and hope they post again? Do we only respond in droves when someone feels rejected and tells us they are going to leave?
I know I am guilty
I think we forget what it is like to be a new member trying to fit in. I think we need to pay attention to our new members a little more than we do. I know this is something I will be working on to make this a better place for new members. If anyone would like to work on changing the dynamics of this site I would like to hear from them with any ideas to make this a better place for all.
