why not? it gives a user a way to introduce themselfs to the community

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.
mhmm... kthx!!

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.

I agree with Boso. A single sticky thread in the General Chat forum would fit.

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.

The old posts could be deleted on weekly or monthly basis.

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 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."

SO I think it is useful and worth it.
