How many times are we expected to read:
"Hi I'm new here and just wanted to say hello"
I'm surprised Mr. Nuke just doesn't tell noobs to STFU, and to put a fresh 6-pack into the community fridge (dues, i suppose). Oh yeah, GOOD beer, too. Make them bring good beer with perhaps....

and I will NEVER tell a newbie that....its not my way....I will always welcome the new guys/gals that way.....after all....new blood to the club is how it will sustain and remain. you don't get new members by treating them like crap.
and the BEST brew is OP brew....regardless of the speific brand...and in case you didn't know...OP stands for OTHER PEOPLES...in other words FREE....if its free.....don't bitch about what kind it is....if you don't like it....dont' drink it. :{D

But - sorry to say, Sir Nuke - your welcome message is losing by a slim margin in the poll. Hmmm...will you come up with a new welcome post if the current one is "voted out"? And no fair "stuffing" the ballot box. And for the record, I have not voted.
Whatever, man - I agree it's a very nice welcome to newbies. I was bored so I decided to give you a poke : - figuratively speaking, of course.
In the words of Ray Liotta as Henry Hill in "GoodFellas" - "make sure you keep stirring the gravy!" Stir, stir, stir.

Well, we have a total of 11 votes for the "yes, change it" side, and 7 votes for the "no, don't change it" side.....
Sounds good for me, except there are also 7 votes for "hiho shutting his hole" - looks like we both lose!
Nuke - I do like the fact that you welcome new members - of course, I do too. I was just poking fun at the repetitiveness of the same welcome. Please don't feel urged to change it, even if the poll sez so.
Oh, and if you want me to delete the thread and the poll before you're "fridge welcome" is officially run into the ground - just say the word, and I'll save you the embarrassment. J/K of course. Good natured fun - that's all. Like we're all old friends here.

I will tell ya....after I have become a standing member in every web community I have ever been in I have done something like this....and I can tell you one thing for sure....when you are the new guy....welcomes are greatly appreciated...even if they are canned....SO, like I mentioned before...I changed it a little, not much...and it will remain....regardless of the outcome....as I know that the people being welcomed appreciate it.
:{D
p.s. have no fear....Nuke can take being poked fun at.....that is as long as you don't mind getting poked back at. :{D
MY MOTTO....."NEVER EVER GET EVEN.....ALWAYS GET AHEAD!!!"

LewNutz,
Welcome to our happy nappy little corner of the net. If you're thirsty, grab a quart of Mobil1 from the fridge, or have some Fram. Every once in a while, a tool fight breaks out, so keep your head up. Oh and use the Search button.
Welcome
All righty, so I think Sir Nuke's welcome message should stay as it is.
