Er Greetings!

[Chaerophon]

Second, I'm curious as to what the Lurkers generally do to welcome new folks? Most people I know that join a group/guild/what-have-you are eager to make themselves known, so they can feel included. Isn't that difficult when no one knows who you are?

I can't speak on behalf of the site administration on this, but it does seem as though we are, as a site, going through a period of growth and change and that, you may have quite an good point there. If the lurker guilds are going to be a substantial part of what it means to 'be a lurker', then an introduction forum along the lines recommended by Assur may be in order. Who knows.

Regardless, welcome. :)
