Every forum has intro threads but how many members actually bother to look through them? I mean, why would you?
Hi! Quite a few people read these actually. You can see how many views your post has, so if you look at some other new member introductions, you'll see that they get views and replies. Why? To welcome you to the forum.
I just read them, but I think it's best if new members stand, like Fight Club or a Buddhist temple, for three days at the gate with no food, shelter, or encouragement before they're allowed in. But I like you, so I'm making an exception.
