If you see someone has created a thread in your introductions forum, welcome them to your site.

Even if they didn't create a thread, start a thread welcoming them.

Make them feel welcomed so they feel more relaxed and better about taking part in the discussions.

If they feel the people comes off cold, they will most likely find some place else to go, perhaps your competitor.

Thanks for the tip!

No problem. Not a lot of people realize little things will help them out, too.

We have member pages that we post on to welcome users with helpful information.

More personal than a thread.

Can you tell me more about your member pages?
Sounds interesting. -Don
