Okay, with vidcon comming up I have to assume that there will be an influx of people comming. We should set a way so noobs cab automatically go somewhere. I was thinking setting up camerons FAQ page on the main page for them, and also a link to dans secret project page(possibly create a new one when it comes or so people don't have to go through tons of previous posts)
Any better ideas?

I'm pretty sure the 'Help' tab goes to the FAQ page.

We can just change "halp pls" into FAQ. Also, we should maybe make sure that there's a list of people to PM when having any trouble with anything, to prevent a huge boom of threads with questions that could easily have been answered by asking an older member.

Actually, I don't. Had no idea. I've never been scared of a moderator or admin on a forum, even at the raw age of 11. And I honestly fail to understand what Cortney or I have done on this forum (though off may be a different story ) to be "scary." I didn't take you guys for such ... wimps. I must be completely daft, because I'm lost as to why anyone would be "scared" of a mod or admin.

But as a newbie, you think that admins are powerful and big and super-cool and super-busy. And don't pm you.

When I was a n00b, I PMed the admins a lot when I had questions. I don't know what you guys are talking about. As for welcoming n00bs, Jon, Helmet, and I were going to make a video, but then Jon left and I was waiting to see if he came back, and then Helmet left. So if anyone is interested in making a quick welcome video before Saturday, I can organize that.

Yeah, I pm'd too whenever I had questions. As for the welcoming, I guess we just need to continue responding in the welcoming threads and tell them they can pm/ go to HALP PLS if they have a questions etc. and yes, a welcoming video might also come in handy..
But I guess we need something on the homepage, that jump right to your eye or like a "Hey, new here click here" thingy..

Well, the admins could put it on the homepage, if they're so inclined. *coughcough*
Question Ferre: Has anyone actually PMed you because of your signature? I put helpful stuff in my sig before, but I didn't think people actually looked at it so I changed it. But if it actually helps and new people are coming, I think I should change it back..

Hey, Chelsea... get on Skype. I'd totally be into creating some kind of welcome video deal for the incoming VidConites.

I just added it today so yeah.. but I don't know if it will help. But I thought, I'd better put it there in case it might help ..

I would put a FAQ in the help please section, and make sure to add to PM the admins with any other questions.

When forums have only one or two admins, I've gotten intimidated. However, how many admins do we have? 16? 17? I think it's fine.
