Exclamation ATTN All Members!

I would like to encourage you all to start greeting our newcomers. If you'll take a look through the newcomers introductions, there are often upwards of 44 or more views and maybe one reply! I think it sends the wrong message to new people and maybe we would keep more of them if they were greeted and not ignored....now, I'm also speaking to myself here, not just you guys...but I think as a whole we need to do a better job.

Thanks!

Hello Korrie!
As a new member, I like what you have written immensely. I too have issues, but a bit skeptical about asking here. But I thought that I must read a bit more. Maybe what I want to know is already there. Thank you so much for thinking for newcomers. :-)

your welcome

Yea, i've been a newbie before on other forums, and I know how not getting any responce can make you feel like no one cares....but I realize that it is hard sometimes to welcome the newcomers because your new, and no one knows you yet...but if we all make an effort all of the newbies should get at least a few responses each.

Don't ever be afraid to post a question! We'll do our best to help you

I totally agree with you Korrie! AND newbies need to return the favor by visiting the diaries of the people who have visited them. It's no fun to always go to someone else's diary and never get the favor returned. I think this happens often with newbies (maybe completely unintentional but still happens). We ALL need to make an effort to connect with each other and support each other in our weight loss goals! Off to welcome some newbies!

Yes I agree Korrie! I will try to come into the newbie section more often as well. I know I haven't quite been on here as much, but usually I am better with the welcoming! Any problems let me know!

Yes, if you post in other people's diaries, they will most likely return the favor.

thanks a lot for making this post. being a newcomer and getting no replies sometimes or even snotty ones, can make me change my mind. but their lucky im persistant. i wont give up. im learning a lot.

it just hurts when your new and you answer a question thats already been answered possibly a million times, and people get all aggravated. i get it, i totally do, but sometimes going through a bunch of forums gets tiring. but thats just me. i just hate when im ganged up on.

=)

i understand hun...theres ALOT of info on the forum now and it can take alot of time to go through it all....sometimes its easier to just ask the question. I've been there...and probalby will be sometime in the future too......and as much as I can say that people need to be more patient w/ each other, and they do, I can equally say that members sometimes need to get some thick skin....maybe a snotty remark came from someone that just had a really bad day, ya know?

glad your sticking around
