I would say that most forums includes a forum for people to introduce... except this one. A little feel empty.
Like how I don't know that GhastlyCat is Seal (dat thread), yeah, also I think there are people who doesn't active in the old AoS forum wanted to introduce themselves too.
So why not?

You mean sub-section, don't you? I think the lounge is the perfect pace to do this...

A little post req could be to at least post one thread in the Intro sub-forum before posting anywhere else on the forum. That way, it might be easier to find bots or ad spammers and ban them. They do this over on tradersairsoft and it seems to be working nicely. That probably won't be a huge problem here since the community is just starting, but it would be a nice precaution.

yeah, don't think thats possible with phpBB - we should get a better forum software, but convert the posts :p

Even if it is not possible, there's most likely a plugin for it. I personally don't like phpBB that much, but it's one of the most widely used forum systems, so there are a massive amount of plugins for it.
