[serious]I have no idea why people bother going through the process and then never post... Shrugs:

We reject at least two 'spam' members a day... the others that join and never post we clean out once a month or so... Currently we have three members that have joined, been approved but never posted. [/serious]

Perhaps you should provide a section, like the Commons, where posters will be treated gently and with courtesy and only have mild mickey taking. I am sure we would all abide by the rules therein.  angel1

I suggest it be called "The Shallow End".

New members do receive a Welcome email when we accept their application and they are invited to introduce themselves in the "Welcome to our forum" thread. Not one ever has. noooo:
