I am contemplating to add a board for "introductions" where newly registered users would post something about why they are there.
I have seen this on other forums. Some get a lot of posts. Some get very few. One negative aspect of creating a board for introductions is that I would have to allow users with 0 posts to be able to start a new topic.
An alternative is that I could just create a topic for introductions and get people to reply to it.
Please tell me your thoughts about this.
Thank you.
Introduction boards are a great way to know your membership and weed out spammers specially when it is a mandatory part of the registration process.
