This was sort of developed from an idea I saw on another site.
Basically, people can sign up to become 'mentors'. When a new user joins, they are automatically assigned one of these mentors, and both the user and the mentor are PM-ed. The mentor can then help the new user settle into Mibba, navigate their way around, answer general questions, etc. This also means that the user will always have someone to speak to and will know someone. I know I'd have loved to have something similar to this when I joined.
I also thought about having an automatic PM sent when you sign up, basically welcoming you to Mibba, telling you about Dujo, maybe linking you to a few good threads or giving you rules. This would also have helped me.
Does anyone else think these would be good ideas?
