I am not sure if anyone felt the same way as i felt. we have a separate section for introduction and i see new members posting their first posts introducing themselves but I dont many replies or in worst case many of the new members are not even greeted :-( Is it not good to greet them with a warm hug to this forum? Lets make sure we greet atleast one or two new members daily. shall we ?
I don't know why there is even a Introduction Section? Today's world is so mean even we keep our heart out we will not trust each other so no point of giving an Introduction to anyone. That's my personal point of view!
Listen friend, for every mean person in this world there are 3 kind ones. Many of my contacts I made here on DP are members that I met through Introductions forum.
I guess some people are (or were) deterred because they realised it doesn't add to their post count. A lot of forums I join are similar to DP (if not worse) - no response to posts in Introductions (which is sometimes better than the alternative - use your imagination). That made me more or less forget Introductions sections exist. But yes, I think you have a good point.
By the way OP I have logged a total of 265 posts in Introductions forum. And *most* were to members who had no replies on their threads. I kinda felt sorry for them.
