Why is that welcome ritual so important anyway?

because it is part of the normal course of human relations

I am old fashionned and I like people to be polite, you wouldn't barge into a conversation in a group of people you don't know just like that would you?

I know I wouldn't, there are few rules on the interwebz but this one is common to all decent boards I am on(three including this one)

A welcome ritual as you call it is what separates humans from trolls
Call it an online gom jabbar if you like

let it go, let it go, let it go ....

TBH, it was the first time I posted a "Hi, I'm new" topic on a forum. Maybe I'm too much "modern-fashioned", but I find such topics pretty useless. The simple rule I (usually) try to follow is, post only if you think you'll contribute to the discussion; if in doubt, don't post. So basically what a person says in actual conversation(s) is more telling about this person than anything they might tell about themselves in a welcome thread.

But maybe my whole attitude to this comes from the fact that I'm generally quite a reserved person.

yeah well in the end it's down to the admins really, so whatever I say doesn't matter much...
but I still can say it can't I?

NEVER!

lol.. there's no rule at this site (or any site I've ever joined) that says you must introduce yourself before posting anywhere else on the board. If there was, I think I might delete my bookmark and never come back. Relax, it's just the internet.

I don't even bother to tell the noobs hello anymore in the introductions forum. It's just "+1" anyway.

Yeah, I think it was just his turn over the barrel.

Maybe he was off his meds

anarchy huh?
Like that

I dunno I have my views about this intro stuff and I won't change them, but in the end it all turned out all right didn't it?

Anarchy? Nah, a site without any rules at all ends up full of people who think posting racism and shock px makes them cool.

I wish I could make a new acct and not introduce myself just to make you angry
