I saw on another forum a good way to welcome new members. I was wondering if people on CC would like to try this idea out.

The way that this other forum welcomed new members was with a thread entitled "Adopt a Newbie." In this thread, an older member agreed to "adopt" a newer member who posted on the thread. Then, the older member helped the newer member become adjusted to the forum, and served as a mentor for the newer member. Once the newer member made a certain amount of posts, he could then adopt a new member, and continue the cycle.

So, what do people on CC think about this? Would you like something like this on CC?

No, I think people take this website way too seriously

I think maybe for the Prep School forum, it would be nice to have a student who has applied or is attending boarding school to help out someone who's just beginning the process. That's just my opinion, though! I know that when I was applying, it would've been nice to have someone to talk to!

it might be helpful to match up with applying boarding schools and boarding school the older member attends

Sounds nice considering I'm a newbie lol.
