Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
OK, this is just a crazy idea – Wait, don’t look interested, it’s not that crazy!
I was thinking that we could have a separate thread in the introductions section for already-members to introduce themselves to newbies. I know some people do this already on each introduction but this way you would only do it once. Obviously you could still say Hi to each one but you wouldn’t need to introduce yourself as much.
If everyone just did one post each then it would be easier for new members to read, and as you wish to add more you can just edit that one post. I don’t think it should be anything major, just the trivia about yourselves that you may have already posted in other places but it would be nice and collected!
I thought I’d just post it her as an idea in case it’s a totally awful one, please tell me what you think of it!
I hope I didn't explain this too badly!

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
Hi, Molly, don't know if I get your meaning but it sounds like a good idea. You think of a thread where everybody has one post saying I'm … from … and do this and prefer that … and the newbies can look everyone up.

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
It could be titled "Members' self-bios".(pretty self explanatory I think)
I'd say it is a good idea; I won't make it I think Molly should start it as it was her idea. It will also show others exactly what she is suggesting. I understand it, that is why I suggested the title.
Hop to it Molly!
I also ask because we on staff all agree that the forum is for MEMBERS to fully participate. Make as many threads as you like about whatever you want. We're just here to tidy things up at times.

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
Self-Bios? Is that like Auto-Biographies?

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
I really like that idea...and I've been thinking about seperating the Introductions forum out into a different seciton for a while now anyway...I'll think of an appropriate title for the forum and sort it out today!

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
Good idea. But remember m0r's advice to be cautious about the amount and type of personal details you make public knowledge.

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
Yes, you don't want to be stalked!
I'll be sticking to trivia like favourite colour etc.

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
good idea molly...a self bio about a member who has just ONE post is a good idea. My only problem is, whenever I update a post elsewhere of mine, the topic itself doesn't go back to the top of the list. It STAYS where it is, even tho I just updated MY post in it. So, the boss should make it so that that new section for members bios, can only have ONE topic, and no other topic on it. I think your idea is a goood one. And I never put a thread of my own on the introductions page--I introduced myself in other threads.

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
Or, couldn't we just pin it or something so it always stayed near the top!

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
So, should I make the thread or does some-one else want to?

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
I didn't understand a word of the last 13 posts but a new introductory thread sounds good.

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
Is that a language problem or a bad phrasing problem?

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
I'd like to say it's a three-patch problem but no. It's a chainsaw problem. I woke up this morning 6AM because the police were using a chainsaw to cut a hole on the door of my next door neighbor to get in and a couple of fire alarms went on because of the 'fumes'. I haven't been at my sharpest today because of the incident. Plus we had a two hour football practice under a burning sun so I'm beat. I'm sure all the posts by you people were perfectly fine, I just couldn't really concentrate on the issue. Why am I posting here then? Because of all the ladies. (I don't use smileys but if I did, I'd insert one here).

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
A chainsaw? Was it a drugs bust?!

Re: Other-Introduction-Type-Thing
All I heard was one of the cops were slapping the guy in the face to try and get him awake. And he wasn't a resident of the apartment and there was also a puppy. I've no idea what was going on, as I'm no Sherlock.
