the only thing we can do is to be kind and good users and try to help and talk to the new users i remember being a newbie to the forums in the beggining, i didn't know how it works or how to be a member .. the moment i joined this forum i found it diffrent than the others, the thing that made me of what i am today is the welcome i get, i remember Linkz and Hug posts on my introduction thread same as Nou4r, reading thier sweet comments and thier welcome was the reason that made me brows and give my best to this forum and that's what im trying to do these days, welcome the new comers, be kind with them, help them and guid them, chitchatt with them, show them that this forum is a really awsome forum And IT WORKS that's the only thing we can do atm and in my opinion hosting giveaways is not helping at all, Oldest members are the once who always win and that keeps the new users giveup and leave or they start making low quality posts and spam the forum so if you guys think banning them will stop them of making new accounts and spam the forum, welcome them and help them to know how things works in here, it might be their 1st time they joined a forum, take it eassy on them and don't act like dickheads that will make them leave, try to let them stay and to understand what a forum it is. -sorry for my shitty english. -.-
