What the point to say Hi and to disappear?
Any thoughts?
"Hi" threads are usually polite ones, most people will pop in and give a warm welcome to any persons introducing themselves.
Thats a huge contrast to what happens in all he other threads, where even if a new person makes it and posts an oppinion or two, he is soon discouraged by being ignored by all the "mutually aquanted" here exchanging kisses, jokes and teasing each other.
Some members of this site have tried to voice this concern recently but their concerns came off as a "scolding" on all the fun in this foroums - where it shouldnt have been understood as such (IMHO).
When a new person is trying to join in on a thread, it pays to be noticed and commented upon - its encouraging for him/her to keep comming back until he/she feels comfortable enough to roam the site freely. Its something upon which all of us could benefit as it would give us a chance to get aquinted with how more people think - a crucial factor in searching for a partner.
Overall, having fun is fun, but lets not keep it with our friends - lets encourage the new people we see to keep posting. And thats not just if the new person is a hot chick with some cool pictures - as i have seen happening.
