    One of the best things about INGO is the friendliness of its members. It's always nice to see 20-30 posts welcoming members as they sign up on a daily basis.

    Due to the nature of incoming members, the Introduction Forum has a certain "flow" that exists. Sometimes that flow gets interrupted and causes people to inadvertently re-welcome people they already welcomed 6 months ago.

    In an effort to help keep things flowing smoothly, use this simple guideline when you decided to say "Hello!" to new members:
    • Only welcome those members who have originally posted in the Introduction Forum in the past 48 hours. If their original post says "2 Days Ago" or longer, and you didn't welcome them yet, simply skip them and move on to those that have posted in the most recent 48 hour timespan. After 48 hours all 'Introduction Posts' will automatically close.
    This will keep older threads from being repeatedly bumped back up to the top, and allow people to quickly find those new members they haven't welcomed yet.

    Also, keep in mind that "newbies" (new members with fewer than the required 50 posts) may NOT welcome other members.

    Thanks!
