Did not want this - a variant of something I wrote some months back... - to disappear from the bulletin section after a brief while (though I will have to edit it for clarity.)

How to welcome newcomers?

1) Drop a link to your lounge on their comment section?
2) Drop your midget on their comment section (and something else, to make it look like a real comment)?
3) Say or comment Hello, welcome to fubar...

I'm lost here. Should one's interest be primarily in serving oneself with a side helping in welcoming the newcomer, or mostly welcoming with a few points gained from making the comment and becoming a fan maybe?

(Yes, even I can be sarcastic sometimes. Don't mind me.)

I found it interesting that most of the comments I received when I rejoined were ones promoting lounges. This new spam commenting thing is quite annoying. I miss when people used to actually talk to each other. Oh well such is life.

I feel self-promotion to newcomers is rude.
