KYM Goodwill Ambassadors Thread

Alrighty guys listen up; we get new members every single day, but a LOT of them--and I'm sure many of us, too, when we first started out--merely lurked, or only commented once or twice and forgot about the site.

We want to keep these new and potentially wonderful people.

As such, this thread's purpose is for any willing ambassadors of goodwill (I know I'm not using "ambassador" correctly in this context but c'mon it sounds cool) to meet and greet new members. Basically:

  • When you find a new member that could be a kewl gui, provide a link to their wall here
  • When other members provide a link to a new member's wall, go to that wall and say something nice, or just say "Welcome!" or "Hello!"

Many users don't go to the forums early in their KYM lives, so they don't even see the "Introduce Yourself" thread. A crying shame, so we're here to bring us to them! Imagine how welcomed it'll make them feel!

Here, I'll provide five off the bat for us:

Is there an easy way to search "new members"?

Searching on "%" allows that, just click "users" and sort on newest.

Side note, I really need to think of more greetings besides the copypasta I keep using of “Hello,” “Welcome,” and “Enjoy your stay.”

I normally just use the avatar and/or their activity as a starting point. I don't usually say "Hello" or welcome them to the site (when I followed the new members thread more actively. I should just subscribe to that.)

But what you're doing is a good idea. It'll be very hard to keep up with and seem genuine, but I applaud the effort.
