Appleja©k 31 October 16, 2012 Share October 16, 2012 I want to post, because I'm still new. But I would feel awkward about it. I don't really like attention, and even if I get it, I try to brush it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonyEcho 1,610 October 16, 2012 Share October 16, 2012 well for me it because i don't meet new members there, i'll notice them on another thread or on a status and i'll welcome them there and then with my usual 'throws confetti Welcome!! throws confetti', which i think is better then when people just post the same vid. there's no motivation to post in the welcoming plaza when you can welcome new members anywhere i'm not rely gonna feel bad about it if i say welcome when i first encounter them and i'll shoot them a PM. 1 my DA http://heavyecho.deviantart.com/ check my stuff out the Anime Club http://mlpforums.com/topic/48196-the-anime-club/ plz join us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdlz 938 February 27, 2015 Share February 27, 2015 I'm terrible with introductions. I used to do it just so I could try it out but I felt like I was saying the same things too much. I did it simply to welcome new members and answer any questions they have. :comeatus: 2 https://widekmusic.bandcamp.com/album/journey-to-the-stars ^Space-djent music for Luna.

Denim&Venöm 18,971 February 27, 2015 Share February 27, 2015 I thought that the only function of the place was to introduce myself. So I really have no other reason to go on. That and I usually forget that the place even exists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastel 7,630 February 27, 2015 Share February 27, 2015 I don't often post there because I'm not really good with introductions, except "welcome" I don't know what else to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haruhi-chan 486 February 27, 2015 Share February 27, 2015 Mostly because I suck at it. My social skills still aren't all that great... and if I was to welcome someone, I would want to do it in a way that was unique. However though, this is impossible for me. 1 x Haruhi Suzumiya x goddess of the world twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_GLaDOS_ 102 February 27, 2015 Share February 27, 2015 I try to welcome, however we get a like thousand people signed up each day. It's hard for me to keep up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invincible 2,091 February 27, 2015 Share February 27, 2015 I enjoy meeting new people! Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), new people come in droves every day. I wanted to welcome and meet every new person, but it soon started become an uphill battle that i found myself losing. 1 My OCs for Roleplay purposes: o Lit Fuse (http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/lit-fuse-r6608) o Dust Devil (http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/dust-devil-r7357) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sommar 1,289 March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 (edited) I used to post in the Welcoming Plaza all the time, but now my posts in that section ceased. I guess I'm too lazy to really post there, plus I don't like how the posts aren't counted. Edited March 13, 2015 by MissPurpleBookworm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302 March 14, 2015 Share March 14, 2015 ... ...... ......... Oh. Right. There's a Welcoming Plaza. xD New WP topics don't pop up in the "recently discussed" box, and it wouldn't up my post count were I to post in any of them anyway. Though perhaps I'll start welcoming newcomers and attempt to gently steer them towards the RDFC. x3 Though I'm not sure mine is one of the first faces new members want to see. "Wow, this guy likes Rainbow Dash. Really likes Rainbow Dash. REALLY likes Rainbow Dash. Like... More-than-likes Rainbow Dash..." Welcome. 1 "It uses the faculty of what you call imagination.

Felix 1,363 March 14, 2015 Share March 14, 2015 I used to all the time actually but eventually I just got out of habit. I very rarely will welcome someone if I happen to cross over it. But yeah like others said it doesn't appear in most recent topics and nor are those threads focused on a topic to discuss like this one. There's a few people that sort of have the welcome topic covered, too. I'm also lazy. x3 1 Credit to Kyoshi for the awesome signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypn0ticD 1,213 March 14, 2015 Share March 14, 2015 I didn't post there often for the same reason many others don't: beyond saying welcome, I really don't know what to say... 1 Hypn0's Art Dump! Check it out sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklingSquirrels 21,341 March 14, 2015 Share March 14, 2015 I used to post there, but my welcomes were becoming very similar to one another, so I stopped. A friend of mine got banned for posting too many similar welcomes in that section. 1 ֍֎֍֎ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJShy 873 March 14, 2015 Share March 14, 2015 I don't post there because other people have silly and funny photos to make their posts interesting. I wish to do that, so I had someone make me a vector of my ponysona saying either "Hello!" or "Welcome!", but until I get that, I don't think I will be posting there. 1 DeviantART: http://djshy3.deviantart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz 1,769 March 14, 2015 Share March 14, 2015 I do it to try and contribute to the fandom as i can't: sing, draw, write, seriously critique, etc. So i do it to try and make people feel welcome and comftable, like i did when i first joined, and to contribute to the fandom. 1 "Whats wrong with being different, sometimes standing out from the crowd is a good thing.

Dingo_Dash 1,403 March 14, 2015 Share March 14, 2015 Numerous, numerous people have said that one of the reasons they initially decided to stay on the forum and give it a chance to grow on them, was because of all the replies that flooded their intro topic that made them feel very welcome So, it does actually have a big impact on people. It doesn't on everyone, but it does with people who let it. Indeed, i never feel a so warm welcome in my life like on this forum. During my first 2 weeks here, i welcomed everypony in exchange to that beatiful experience to make sure they feel accepted, but due to completely lack of time (work overflow) i wasn't unable to think and/or replay to new ponie's topics. I was thinking restart replaying but maybe in a more relaxing way, as much as i can. 1 Also member of Cutie Mark Crusaders - http://www.mylittlepony.it/forum/index.php - http://i.imgur.com/1pVyHyu.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shady23 175 March 14, 2015 Share March 14, 2015 I do it as often as possible because I know how welcoming it felt for me when I was welcomed. I don't get to everyone sometimes but I try to welcome as many as possible in hoping they will find it like home here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitalSpark 1,830 March 14, 2015 Share March 14, 2015 I occasionally do, if I'm bored or I see an interesting introduction, or one that asks a specific question that I can answer. 1 ~VitalSpark~ [fimfiction] [deviantart] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCS 7,537 March 22, 2015 Share March 22, 2015 I really need to post in WP more. I've posted in there a fair amount but I'm honestly too distracted with other things going on around the forum to remember to post there as much as I should. Posting there is extremely important. Giving new members a warm welcome and showing them how friendly this community is is the right thing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
