Just curious.. Why do you/ Don't you post in the welcome forums?

[Retro*Derpy 3,185]

I don't, reason being I don't really have anything to say. I've stopped watching the show ages ago, and I get shy easily as well.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

I only posted my own thread in here on this account and that's it. Didn't even post in there at all on my old one.

I keep forgetting about the Welcoming Plaza. Every time I'm reminded I go post there for a bit, but it's never been something that I check regularly.

It should be, though. I remember way back when I first joined this forum, the replies I got in my introduction thread made me feel genuinely welcome. I think that thread is the reason I kept on posting here.

[Prospekt 11,018]

I used to post there fairly often, but I kind of started to lose track so I rarely post there anymore... 

Basically, this:

I did (or rather, tried to) for a time, but there are just so many that I couldn't keep up. If I only pick and choose certain ones, I feel bad that I didn't do them all.

I have the same logic. I don't like to make it seem like I'm playing favorites if I reply to one welcome thread but not another.

[Messy Mane 9,032]

When I barely came here I would welcome other new users.But after months of doing it everytime there was a new user I got more slower and eventually I couldn't keep up and decided to retire I guess lol.

[Rhythm Red 6,484]

I do post there (though I can't get around to posting for everypony). I do it because it will make people feel more comfortable here, and that makes them want to stay. Just doing my part to help the herd grow!

[Yakamaru 3,127]

I don't frequent this forum enough to bother. Same for a lot of other forums too.

[Dreambiscuit 9,691]

I used to a lot more than I do now. There are so many to keep up with and not enough to say when I don't know someone very well. On rare occasions, if I happen to take a look in the Welcome Plaza, I may post if someone catches my eye for one reason or another.

[Narcissus 354]

I don't post in Welcome forums because I'm not that outgoing. I'm not the most sociable person in the world unless I sense there's something that justifies my coming out of my shell and saying something. 

[Phosphor 11,529]

I've only posted a couple times to welcome new ponies. I don't know why, but I'm terrible at introductions. 

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

I post in the Welcoming Plaza because I like to meet new ponies. But I don't really like meeting humans. They talk weird.

[Beached Whale 57]

I don't post in the welcome forum because I forget that it exists  I think it's good to though because it helps new members get into that cozy herd feeling 

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I very occasionally post in it because I'm not good at introductions, and they make me feel awkward.

[Longhaul 6,868]

I'm kind of hit and miss about the whole thing.  Every now and then I may say hello, but most of the time I don't even go there.

[Splashee 28,564]

I keep replying there because I know how hard it was to enter this forum in 2019. And for each day, it will be even harder. You never know who you will introduce here, and I find it intriguing how people found this fandom, and to this day still wants to try be part of it.

[TBD 17,254]

I didn’t know it’s a thing and also I just don’t care.

[Lucky Bolt 35,063]

I always post in newcomer's threads cause I love meeting the new folks.  Lately though I've missed a few cause of being busy. 

[Cyclone 1066 3,619]

I didn't even post in the welcome thread when I started.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

I only posted there once between both my accounts, and even then the post was sort of a "coming back" post. I don't post there, because I don't feel any need to do so.

[Fritzy 1,691]

I only do it every now and then 

But hardly because I just don’t feel the need to do it to every single new user who posts there. 

[Astralshy 26,674]

Right from the start I have been a very active poster in there. I think it is very important to welcome people to the herd. Especially after the show ended. 

Also I remember when I joined and people welcomed me so lovely to this community. So I gladly give it back

[Silly Druid 6,982]

I don't because I'm too shy. Actually, when I joined the forum, I haven't even made such thread myself.

If you ever decide to make one for yourself after all these years I will give you the most warm and nicest welcome I can. And I'm sure others would too :3

[Evil Pink One 13,506]

I think most beginners don't know that that thread exist.... I rhink it took me a month or so just to see that thing existed... Or was it just me..

[Savy 5,077]

I honestly forget it exists half the time, but sometimes I do occasionally.
