The most important thing you can do in the Welcome & Help Forum: **REPLY**

Right now we're getting a lot of new threads in here, so I understand it is hard to keep up with all of them and post a bunch of replies. But if you want to help make DU a more welcoming place for new members and old members, you should really make the effort to respond. We can tell that people are reading all the posts in here. Now REPLY to those posts!

Even if it's just a "Hi" and a it'll make people feel welcome, and it'll make YOU feel good too.

In this forum, of all places on DU, everyone should get a reply to their thread.

C'mon. Be part of the DU Welcome Wagon!

most of the people posting are old hands at DU, and familiar to each other, so not everyone is greeting every poster. As new DUers find this forum and post here, I know I'll be greeting them and offering help with any issues they may have.

If I have to reply to ALL of these threads, I'm not going to get any work done.
