Some people like to lurk. And I don't think it helps when there's a rabid crowd of hungry forum veterans waiting for newbs to post in the intro board. When I first started, I didn't even post in the intro board. I did but it took a long time for me to settle in because everyone else seemed so close. Thats why I think the watcher idea is great ;D

Truly, it's a wonderful idea. I'm just afraid that people won't know about it if they are new and lurking. I didn't lurk to the "introduce yourself" area until I was known on the board (ahem... the first time lolz). I like the idea of giving badges to Watchers who don't have a buddy (what do we call the buddies? ). Something like: New to the Forum? Have Questions? Can I be your Watcher? in a transitioning gif. Wow, I'd totally make it if I knew how to make gifs.

Bec your watcher badge idea sounds fantatistic! And I was only bookmarking this particular thread so when Shivi posted for a watcher I didn't even know until today! The watchers thread is a bit hard to find... is there anyway it could be more visable on the forum-face? It's inside Introduce yourself and I don't know if that will make us available enough!
Thus the ideas of badges will work really well, [we could have a link to this section].

I guess it's trial and error now.

Whelp. I tried. I made a black and white transitional presentation in Photoshop, and exported it in a really small, yet readable format. In WMV... the only option. Now I can't find a free program to convert it to a gif.
* sigh *

I have a question, Phil. I see that the Welcoming team got a certain title under their names, and a little badge, will the Watchers get something like that? Not that we need anything, but just curious. Thanks. EDIT : I see you guys are working on it, so never mind. lol

Do you guys think there should be some rules, I know I'm not a watcher and may just go running to the hills when you guys respond. But I do keep seeing you all post in each others threads which is a tad confusing and some of the remarks = funny to us, but maybe not to our newbs! I agree as well. I think that the first person to respond who doesn't already have someone to watch should be that person's watcher. Once that happens, no one else should post in that thread. Use Introduction Board threads to say hi. Scoobie: That looks really good! Though that's more for recruiting watchers than watchees, don't you think?

Anyone? It's pretty good! I may use this, but I would be resizing it, because it is a bit too big, IMO. I hope that's okay.

If no one wants to, i can make something different if people think it needs to say something else/show something else?

For now, we only need the Watchers we currently have. 10 is just too many. If someone drops out, a spot will probably open up.

If there's any 'positions' open, I'll have a go at being a watcher. I'm pretty much on here everyday, if that helps

Thanks for the offer Night Lord, that's really nice of you! But at the moment we have too many watchers for everyone to even have had a watchee yet. There are also others in line that want to join the team, so I guess they would get first spot if they opened up! Plus, not many watchees ask for watchers during our Australian timezone So it's hard enough for me to get in first with a newbie! lol. ALTHOUGH this isn't for me to decide, so if the Mods think we can use more watchers I'll let them respond to you
