why not? it gives a user a way to introduce themselfs to the community
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.-Thoreau
I honestly have to say that it makes me feel a little more welcome to this group if I have a place to come in and get to know the other users. Maybe I'm just being a little girly, but I like to get a nice hello and how ya doin' when I join a new place.
Hmz ... don't you guys think that it would be better if we have only a single topic where the new guys say hello? Now we have too many of them.
Then we can't read the previous posts that easy, you have to scroll through pages :p. Now everyone has it's own biography page. So everyone get's welcomed in a special way lol.
I don't like deletion of old posts. We could create a sticky thread in the Introduce Yourself forum for short introductions and people would be free to open a separate thread for biographies. =D
Also that way, it would be easier to reject people, since if you're really interested in this community, you would create an own thread. =)
I'm x^10 + x^8 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + 1, so don't mess with me!
I think it is a good thing, as mentioned i like to introduce myself when someplace new and an intro thread is good plus it gives the regulars a chance to see who is new and from what i can tell you can see who will stick around and who is only here for a shell account by the intro posts. The people who answer questions and that i see in the IRC room the last couple of days are the ones that tend to be able to follow directions and read stickys that say "read before you post."
