Would show up to 10 new members who have joined the site in the last month, their names being clickable to their profile. Would allow a chance to see who's joining and privately welcome them, offer assistance, encouragement, etc.

Yeah that is a decent idea. I kinda like it.

Good idea.

Just make sure they are small links.

True, It'll be better with a Smaller link.

and i dunna maybe 5 members insted? We dont get zillions of people joining.

JJJ is right, he's right about the members. It's probably better doing that with 5 people. But I like your idea Madglee.

Quit agreeing with me, lol

Just kidding.

Good idea.

madglee, what made you come up with that?

lots of other sites have "most recent member" lists.

Yeah, five is cool, I was just throwing out a number - not sure how many join. Well, as we've all been pushing for more advertisements and notoriety for the site, was thinking that being able to see new members would enable us to all welcome them. That would actually cause greater staying power. Someone who sees the site, thinks it's interesting, makes an account, then sort of messes about but never hears from anyone is more likely to leave. In this way, we could say "Hi," which gives them a sense of belonging and increases probability that they stay and produce works.

Furthermore, that sort of link makes people who join feel that others are joining and that the site isn't at all dead. :)
