We all know what it’s like to be the new person on the block, and we do, for the most part, try to welcome them. However it takes 2 to tango. We can only do so much to make them feel welcome and part of the group.

I have gone out of my way to meet and help countless new members to any number of chat boards, but 90% of them tend to shy away or just completely leave shortly after saying “hello I’m new”. I really wish more new people would hang around and chat more on the board. I can never have too many friends, and I’m always up for a good conversation about pretty much anything.

Hmmm, maybe Lee and Gary should send fruit baskets to new members…?
