Topic: Getting to know you.

[Geordie]

I ran this on another forum i moderate and it proved to be very popular. Basically it would give newbies a bit of information on their fellow posters. If Admin could consider pinning it at the top i'm sure it will help.

Tip for those not used to posting on forums. If you copy my post and paste it into your answer you will then only have to delete my info for your own. 

Don't be a spoil sport, join in and get to know your fellow posters a bit more.
