When you decide to respond to a New Member Introduction post, be sure to actually look at the activity of the new member before you reply.

As of this moment, 15% (1041) of all members have joined ForumCoin and only left 2 to 10 posts. Another way of looking at them is that 21.3% (1455) members were only active their first 1 to 20 days before moving on to other interests. Those numbers increase every week as more members join in for a few days. Some have even been banned. Many of them complete a New Member Introduction post during their very brief visits.

Look at their activity data before you post a reply. Reply within the first week after they post the intro letter. If you are looking at a new member intro that was posted more than a week ago at least look to see if they are still active before you post anything.

Welcoming new members who are already gone is not serving any purpose. They will not see it.

I am usually one of the first to welcome new members. I understand this post because yesterday I noticed that there was a lot of activity on the New members introduction section, which is not normal.
