Welcome message

Does anyone else like the idea of having cysid automatically send a sort of welcome letter to knew members explaining things and the like?  Ive been personally sending a realy simple welcome message first timers. saying something like welcome to the site, if you have any questions  feel free to post them in the forums and other members will litterly jump at the chance to help you. This a seriously great community. Happy to have you abourd. It generly has a few more sentences than that. Most poeple reply with a thanks i will, others reply with questions. one guy replied with i dont talk to people over the internet. I replied with, thats cool you can even disable your ability to be sent messages. Anyways i think that cysid should send i realy simple one to new members when they arrive. what do you guys think?

I think that's actually a great idea. I know me and Fergie do this as well. It would be nice to have something that at least lets them know how to get started and welcomes them to the site. Lots of forums and things have an automatic message like that.

I greet newcomers too if they leave a cool comment or have a cool story description or profile or something. I like that you guys are less judgmental about it.

Already accepted though:

well it must've never gotten finished because i didn't get one. or something... anyway, i don't think there should be a welcome message on it. who wants to be welcomed by a computer? i sure don't! but maybe that's just me. the whole thing about the site is good, but the welcome?

hi there _____. My name is cysid. I want to welcome you to our site. I hope you have fun and create wonderful stories. Don't worry, we won't judge harsh. Just as long as you do your best!

I could just hear a robots voice saying that. *shivers*. Creepy by all means necessary. That's just the kind of thing most people would program. Especially the last part. O yes, we don't judge harshly! we'll just explain in a harsh sounding way why the crap you put out on here isn't done and that you need to do better. what? that IS your best? well, try MORE!

yeah, people would LOVE to get greeted by a computer.

The welcome message should probably contain less BS and more useful information. As in, here are some links to some top stories:

Here are some articles:

etc, etc.

Also, it's accepted but not completed :)
