Just an idea...for new members
« on: September 21, 2013, 01:58:03 pm »
Maybe we already have this -and- I'm just unaware of it, but - if it's not there already...how about a link (when & where a new member *Joins* the site) to the "Intro" thread?

Maybe we can display a welcome message to anyone who has an empty collection. Right now it just kinda dumps them there with little guidance.

Yeah, I totally agree.

Perhaps (on that same page...maybe) - have a list of "Helpful" / "New Member FAQ's", and/or "Q&A" links for the same new-comers (people with no items in their collections yet:)

I have an idea. The moment anyone joins, they are given a "Welcome to VGCollect" email listing Disgaeniac's name and telling them to send him a message if they have any questions! :D

Will a real mod just change Disgaeniac's name to "Welcome Wagon"?

"ass hat" = jerk, ass-hole, troll, etc...

An asshat is someone who has his head up someone's ass IE wearing an ass for a hat.

That's a very good detailed definition lol.  I think the reason it stuck out to me on this post, is because about a year ago, some one on facebook, kept messaging me and my gf, saying that i was an ass hat and he messaged me like 20 times using that word.  I remember having no clue what that meant.  I did not even know this person at all.   So I guess that memory came back to me now.  But it makes sense now.
