Suggestion - Welcome Section

[TheForgottenUser]

Hello,

I had an idea that I thought might be worth implementing. I think a lot of newcomers to the forums may be a little overwhelmed by all the threads and subsections we have. In addition to that, I feel like there are a number of users here who don't know how to integrate well into the community since there's no welcome section.

Therefore, I think we should have a beginners section, with a bunch of welcome threads and all the necessary info for navigating the forums and abiding by the rules.

Thoughts?

This could work, though forums are usually self-explanatory for me. Could just be me, though. Minr's forums don't seem too overwhelming.

What would be displayed in a welcome section?

The formatting does take some getting used to, but trying to steer newcomers throughout the forums might just make it more cluttered.

1) Rules
2) Welcome Threads
3) Things you should know

Perhaps more.

Funny you suggested this, I actually started making a beginners guide to the forums after a few people mentioned they don't know how to quote.
It's a great idea anyway.
