Welcome Today.

I start this thread in name "Welcome Today" to congratulate the newbies and encourage them to participate in the activities of WMF. I have noticed that people are signing -Up and then leaving the forum. In big forums like DP or Site Point, while you are writting some thing, newbies names are appearing. Here people are going behind the screen.
As the first newbie I am introducing
ovesafron

how about just welcoming them inside the thread that they started?

you will find on any forum that people join and never make one post...some people prefer to lurk around in forums and not really become an active member

70% of the time people are only joining forums to make one post and/or make a signature, a link to their site and then leave....
10% of the people joining are spam bots!
and the other 20% are actually people that are either lurkers or contributors

Shadav is very correct. According to the status of this forum, Only 20.43% of members on this forum posted atleast once. on that, only half of the members are active members. We can't expect 100% activity.

My intention of starting this thread is to persuade the members those who are immediately retiring after registration. If somebody mention their name and giving a welcome message, perhaps, they may come to activity and may participate in forum discussions. I think that this would become a 'Boosting' dose. Suppose, a person is registering with this forum and vanishes to the back side of the stage, he is forgotten for ever. If a person is posting in the introduction thread and others are giving him greetings and wishes, a small amount of activity generates there.I want to create the same effect in the case of people who are keeping away at the start point.

Hi ngenge,
Warm welcome to the WMF. Enjoy the forum flatforms.Best of luck.

josechukkiri, avoid repeated posting without any reply.. Only make posts on a thread when some one reply to it. You can make posts after a long time, but repeated posts on single thread within short intervals are not allowed.

I don't think that a thread like this doesn't worth any until the member get posted on this thread. But the idea is good to make more active members..

It is a pity. Now nobody is posting. No admin, No moderator. Daily people are joining the forum without knowing the present condition of the forum.
