I guess I didn't know it was controversial . Doesn't make any difference to me though .
I'm not sure I ever posted in that category. I think I just jumped in and swindled you guys into believing I was always here.
Whatever works. I won’t miss it but I did think it was nice for the newbs.
On a side note- without welcome threads it will be a lot more difficult to pad your post count on the way to lifer status or the 5000 club.

My post counts did not go down much, that makes me feel a little snobby. Welcome to everyone who has joined in the last dozen years!

Intro posts are completely unnecessary blah blah, and everyone’s WELCOME FROM HERES A PICTURE OF A POSTCARD is completely useless.
Yay Kevin.

I'll not miss the chiding of new members for not introducing themselves. No great loss.
Yay Kevin, indeed. Especially since a forum's post count affects the rate that can be charged for advertising.
