I dunno how other boards are, but on psychology most posts will get at least 1 hit. New or otherwise.
Sometimes there's a time lapse b4 anyone notices that noone has responded and then there will be a post.
Now I been here awhile its not as big a deal personally cuz i get responses from other posts.
But as I sit here thinking, I can remember it being downright agonizing when I was new.....
It just seems like common sense to me to try and welcome a name you don't recognize, or aknowledge one you do?
Does it actually happen very often that a new person is ignored???
If I ever do it, please someone b-mail me and tell me.

P.S. I never goto newbie board cuz i get too overwhelmed by trying to goto too many boards.
I guess I would be willing to go on a certain day/week if others were willing to go into a rotation with me....I would need to know there's consistancy there...
OR mebbe just START people on psychology FIRST (can you tell I have a bias here????) and we can welcome and direct them to the best boards for them?
There are SO many boards, do they all get good usage?
I still think the psycho babble board should be renamed some how...
Yeah, I know I not supposed to be here,
Apparently some part of me is an eternal optimist...
