Just getting the biscuits out for newcomers. If everyone is good there may be Hobnobs.

Newcomers? Sorry I have been asleep for a few days.

Also… dark chocolate digestives please!

Newcomers? Sorry I have been asleep for a few days.

We saw a noticeable uptick in sign-ups around Trump's inauguration (which was unexpected as we aren't exactly US focused) and, while it has settled down, we are getting more than we were getting before. So I've been talking to the other Admins about improving on-boarding and a welcome community seems a good idea. Only the other day we had someone post an introduction in a new community and have to be redirected, which wouldn't happen as much if we had a dedicated welcoming community and now we have.

Also… dark chocolate digestives please!

Of course, we're not animals.

Ahhh nice! Thanks for the details. Good idea, Welcome to newcomers!

I’ll get out the posh m&s chocolate rounds then!

No no no, you have forgotten the mythical dark chocolate hobnobs.

I can't believe there is even a debate on the matter! 😆

I mentioned Hobnobs - but only if everyone is well-behaved, choccy digestives are standard.
