If we don't want the sign up threads under that main section as well or don't want to use one big thread for the new user introductions then maybe we roll them and their relevant information threads into their own sub-forums instead? I don't think the SPSF in particular needs one thread explaining what it is and another to sign up anyway as we have currently. One could do that same job just as easily, look tidier and save interested partied from having to click about and having the intros in one place will help keep the main section looking tidy.

I'm all for this. I think having either separate sub forums or putting them under their respective ministry forums only mashes it more difficult for new players to find them and get involved. I like the idea of a welcome forum that serves like a menu of options for how to get involved.

A single introductions thread would not only reduce clutter, but I think it would also encourage new players to get to know one another and they are all joining the same conversation. It might end up a bit like the RMB, but as a way to welcome players to the forums, that's not so bad either.
