[off topic]<br><br>hdofu, have you considered cutting a few blank lines and/or explanatory notes from your signature? It's like 3/4 of a screen high...<br><br>[/off topic]<br><br>I've run boards with and without "welcome" forums, and never noticed a significant difference in user-retention with our without.<br><br>However, when the board gets busy, it might be a good idea to have a "how did you find O&M" forum, or at least a stickied thread in the main forum. This is the sort of thing that attracts newbies.<br><br>(Notice I use "newbies" rather than "n00bs" -- newbies imply they're new, while n00bs implies they're chumps with no computer sk1llz who think everyone is a cheater. Somebody can be a n00b long-term, but a newbie always grows out of it.)
