My welcome thread is closed?

[LlamaMama]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I couldn't find an answer in the FAQ's or by using the search box. I posted a thread in the welcome forum a few days ago, and wanted to answer a question someone asked me, but my thread has been closed. Any particular reason why, or is this automatic after a certain length of time?

The mods just close down the welcome threads after a few pages to keep the same threads from staying at the top. That way the newer threads can get attention from board members and people can all be welcomed.

From the sticky in the welcome thread.

• Only welcome those members who have originally posted in the Introduction Forum in the past 24 hours. If their original post says "1 Day 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 24 hour timespan.

Normal procedure for them to be closed after a day. Sometimes they stay a bit longer but not much. It just keeps the welcome threads flowing smoothly.

People are only welcome a short time here.

Some of us have simply overstayed our welcome.
