Title: Why can't normal members look at the "New Members Welcome" board?
Post by: 090901 on April 14, 2011, 09:36:23 PM: Just wondering why normal users can't look at it.

Welcome to the forums, and one more post will make the verification to go away and you will become AntWeight.
Also, you will no longer be able to see this section because it was filling with chatter instead of welcome to new members.

That's what ACAMS says, at least. Ironically enough it was in the New member welcome forum. :P

Welcome Fracture : )

Thanks, Kujii. :)

Erm, what's the point of me creating an introductory thread if I can't see the forum though? And no one can post in it? Will it appear in "Show new replies to your posts" or something?

Post by: Kujii on April 14, 2011, 10:04:31 PM: I have No idea, it seems like a half baked idea on ACAMS [ site administrator ] part, but at least he is trying to cut down on the spam around here, spam that I'm a major contributor to.

^^, You'll find in time certain people are more helpful in the RA2 building then others, of course, since you can't see the junkyard until you enable it, your not likely to see many of the unhelpful people (like me) around too often.

Post by: Fracture on April 14, 2011, 10:08:33 PM: I guess if you really feel the need to see the New members welcome forum you can just sign out and view it as a Guest. (and post too)

Post by: Kujii on April 14, 2011, 10:20:39 PM: Still, the chances the newbie will sign out, just to see his own welcome thread seems a little slim; So I guess it just seems rather odd that you can't see the board. However, its easier then trying to monitor the board to keep it from going off topic; as its bound to go offtopic with people like myself around, since I have an ability to OT a topic without even noticing I did it.

Anyway, Acams has his reasons I suppose, so I won't question it.
