It's a shame and was just thinking maybe we could have a 'Newbie' section to welcome new joiners and encourage people to post and join in the conversations etc.
What do you all think
Just an idea

I've noticed quite a few people are joining up and not posting anything.

UK-MKIV's have this (just to use them as a benchmark 
) . I dunno though...
"Hi there! Finally got here! Not good with computers, the g/f helped me! Anyways from the name av got 2001 Black 20vt just had it a couple of months - came from the dark side, vauxhall - but again thanks to the g/f am veedub now!"
Could be me, but I think (unintentionally) people who post in newbie forums try and be something they are not to impress people (e.g. upbeat, hip etc. See above). Now I'm not saying everyone has to be grumpy. But if you post as normal it makes it easier to get a general idea of your personality.
Also, theres the fact that many of the people who have posted in the MK-IVS newbie forum have never posted since!
However, we could just hassle them with emails/newsletters to come back to the forum!
