Just to stop the nags..

I always thought these "intro thread/forum" things were lame--if you have something to say,say it, and let that post be judged on its own merits. If you have nothing to say, anything you do say comes out as line noise.
So this is just get rid of the

"Hello furbearntrout,
Our records indicate that you have never posted to our site before! Why not make your first post today by saying hello to our community in our Introductions forum. "

noise on every page.

lol .. you will not see it if you have posted. It disappears.

Whilst people see forum rules a little like the copyright page you see before installing a program, most people just flick past it. It is important that members are exposed to the forum rules, for multiple reasons. And having it in their faces a few times also gives them no excuse for breaking the forum rules.

We also invite people to post in this section for one of those reasons. So it will stop nagging them haha

Anyway, welcome to the forums And hope you find the forum helpful .. and possibly fun ... we have some fun sections also.
