this should probably go in the pet peeves thread but my search isnt working so i will put it here........


guys and gals, i'm not trying to start a fight here, but is there really any need to go into the "introduce yourself" section and welcome 3 pages of people with the same generic message over and over again, nothing makes one feel more welcome than looking and seeing the same person who welcomed you welcomed 50 other people in the last 10 minutes......

i'm all for welcomeing peeps and i even every once in a while throw out a "hey welcome to the site, good people here" but its never the same and i do it once in a while.......chit the other day some of you were even welcoming people who had joined in 2009......little late, i think they know they were welcome here...but you didnt notice that because you were to busy quickly pointing and clicking your way through the section with your generic welcome speach clogging up the "new posts" search for 2 solid pages pushing back the usefull info some people are trying to share with these new members (and i am not claiming in anyway any of my posts are usefull)........

just had to vent a little......i'm sure you guys are super nice people who mean well but man i hate logging on to see page after page in the new posts search clogged with "insert 1 of many generic member welcome messages here"


have a super day

I guess I should have qualified that statement. You are not the useless kind I was referring too Plio7, you have made usefull posts regarding sled decks and single loaders at least that I have seen. I meant more of the "my wedge will spank turbo'd yamahas" or " i am herpes free" kind of useless. If you know what I mean.

i'm not saying people are welcoming everyone in a desperate attempt to make friends.....i'm sure its meant to be just a good natured hello......just dont think a welcome is a welcome, when its sent out to 50 people in a row, as a point and click game....and i hate having to sort through 3 pages of welcome posts in order to get to a post in the "new threads" search

I just thought they were trying to become VIP members by boosting their post count and had nothing else to post.

I have been a member for a couple of years and only post when I'm bored or need help. Haven't broken a hundy yet but dont really care to either.

It can be useful to know which people are herpes free......

just double click the helmet by the 'introduce yourself' section and all the introduction posts magically disappear from the new posts list....
