yes great post @dwinblood !! I remember doing my introduction post, i felt warm and welcome for sure. I t was my second best paid post at 36 dollars. I try myself to always welcome in the same fashion the new comers here ! It does seem to me that this does now seem to be lacking and i think the new people who do stay do not care about voting up these introduction posts as they don't see it as being lucrative enough !! Now with the 5 vote a day rule i think this worrying tendency may well further intensify . We must turn this around eh ??
