Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Hi Peter, I had in mind more of a specific welcoming area where members could introduce themselves and their gardens / allotments / interests/ etc to the forum, the guidelines could be stickied in this area. I have noticed very few people actually welcoming newbies, and its nice to know a little about them. Regulars could check in to get to know the newbies, discover common interests and give them a welcome. I have sometimes seen newby questions stuck in the unanswered section for some time with no welcome or answer to their question.
Sit down before a fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconcieved notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abyss nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.

General Chatter would seem appropriate rather than a ghetto?
Stuck initial posts are often because those that have viewed the post don't have an answer to the question asked and are more backward about coming forward than you or I.
Welcomes are a community thing, not an enforceable rule,
, so if you see a "hi there" unanswered, then don't ignore it for several days, but equally try not to loose the original question if one was asked.

I've noticed that whenever i give a newbie a warm welcome, they seem to disappear, never to be seen again. 
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Boy will you get a surprise when you open that potting shed door in the autumn and they all fall out!
