May I suggest...an "Introduce Yourself" forum

I've seen this added to other forums I'm on. It seems to be a nice place for people to pop in and say hello.

Right now I see introductions all over the place (lenses forum, astronomy, etc).

The official one is here.

Member introductions

But we like it when new members just join in with the rest of the forums. We don't really want to promote the use of a "newb" section as people may not feel they want to leave it.

We're all equal here in welcoming both novice and professional alike...
