I meant to post this suggestion in the pfestivus thread:
Would the site consider adding a "new member" or "introduction" sub-forum?
Today, I went looking for this, since I've now been here for a while, and thought it'd be nice to welcome some new members. I was surprised that we don't have something like that.
(or maybe, I either missed it, or you all have already decided not to have this?)
Anyways, just wanted to throw this idea out for consideration.
Most of the forums I'm on have some kind of area set aside for threads like this. I help out on another forum, specifically, where the owners recently reminded us all helpers to go into the new member forum, welcome new members, and, if needed, tow threads out to the appropriate sub-forum. Seemed like the new guys appreciated us doing that, and it helped with the community spirit.
Given the number of new folks entering the firearm world (like me), I think this would help enable p-f.com to be a positive destination on the web for students of the pistol.
