Poll: Welcome!

- Start date
I don't know, I think it's just starting to clutter the forum up now. It's not worth a whole new subforum just for one person to say hello and then never post in it again. After a while even the older members who pop in to say welcome will become apathetic and it'll be a ghost town.
I also personally think a lot of the PC hardware forums should be consolidated, such as General Hardware, Overclocking & Cooling and Laptops etc. Apple Hard and Software should be consolidated and god knows why the motors and sports forums were split up.
OCuK Matters can probably go altogether.
I just think the entire forum has way too much clutter or is categorized way too narrowly into too many separate things needlessly.

Either remove completely, or at the very top of the forum - so that newbies can see it

In the forum bin.
Would have placed it below SC if I could, keep getting sent here when I'm looking for SC 
Otherwise, top of the page would be best. That or "no need at all/pancake"
Edit: Also, do we have a responsibility to look after these fellows? Perhaps we should set up a rotating shift of a few members who'll meet and greet the fresh faces, warn them off certain unsavoury members, classify them in sniggering asides to our fellow veterans etc etc. Sort of like jury duty.

can this now be moved out of the life section....
Should be an option for getting rid of it imo lol. Its useless and i cant see anyone using it apart from the people creating the threads and those who want a larger post count.
That's my take on it anyway.
Only reason im in here now is because i hadn't seen it before.

It's taken me this long to even notice it. 
Real newbies (i.e. not lurkers) won't even know about GD so having it hidden in a subforum doesn't make sense to me. In fact, a welcome is the first thing any visitor would reasonably expect, so perhaps that makes it the first forum (or at least 'up there').

I think the new members forum ought to be removed. There is just absolutely no point in it whatsoever. I don't get it at all.
