(https://www.veggieboards.com/forum/19-new-member-introductions/35376-adopt-newbie-program.html)
hey all. we're going to try this program again. oldbies (existing members) will pair up with newbies (new members) to help them with any questions they have about the site and vegetarianism/veganism. sometimes it's hard starting out in a site as active as ours without knowing anyone. this way new members have a chance of getting to know someone right away so hopefully they'll stick around and post with us
![]() ![]() oldbies that would like to participate let me know here or in pm, (unless you have already told me in the other thread). i had originally wanted to pair people by location but only 3 people pm'ed me with their locations so i think we'll just do it randomly for now and see how it goes. if anyone has suggestions on how to improve the program let me know ![]() ![]() newbies that want to be adopted by an oldbie please post here. if you joined before this was posted or we've missed you and you would like to be paired with someone just post here and we'll make sure you get someone. if you don't necessarily want to be paired with someone and just want to ask a question or two you can post in this thread and one of us will answer, or pm one of us oldbies (we're always glad to help), or you can post in the community assistance forum. we also recommend reading the faq that is posted when you first join. tells you all the basic stuff like how to post etc. if you have troubles sending a pm to your adopter post here and they or whoever's around at the time will walk you through it. |

i've PMed LF already (i think), but just to put myself in this thread.. yeah, i'm down for "adopting" someone (or multiple someones). i'm in vermont right now, moving to oregon in about a week, and it doesn't make a difference to me if my adoptee is from either of those places

I might like to adopt somebody.
ETA: I live in South Carolina, but it doesn't matter to me where my newbie is from. |
i would love to adopt, the more the better
and i'm from Providence, RI which is New England ... and i'm origially from Eastern Europe if that helps... but it really doesn't matter to me where they are from ![]() |
I can adopt! From North Carolina... don't bite (that often)
|
woohoo so many volunteers
![]() yet only 2 newbies have come forward. i wonder if it'd annoy people to approach them and ask if they want to be adopted. if we do i think the adopter should approach instead of me doing the back and forth to find out if they want to be adopted or not. maybe i'll just pm you guys names of recently joined members and you can ask if they want you to adopt them or not, or would you rather i pm them first, or that we just let them come to us? this is the only part that's still confusing to me ![]() |
i wonder if we should have a thread just for newbies in the " new to vegetarianism" thread.
something like " we know it's difficult to start off when you're new to vegetarianism and to a message board, please reply if you want to be adopted by someone who has been here for a while ... and so on" |
I need adopted!
|
|
nixona, can I adopt you?
|
Someone adopt me! I'm in southern California!!!
