    Are these "Introduce Yourself" threads a waste of space ?

    I've just seen one started 3 Feb - poster made her last of 5 posts on the same thread the next day 4 Feb yet bizarrely the thread is still going.

    I also wonder how many people post once to introduce themselves and never post again. No rules stopping them from doing that though, it's a public forum and anyone can contribute unless a mod bans them for spamming or trolling.

    Perhaps they are so busy reading the regular members threads and posts that they don't have time to post again
