I am somewhat undecided. For some reason I can't vote on the poll.
Most new people jump right to the general section to see what type of people are posting and the tone of the posts. I think maybe a post pinned at the top of the General Discussion thread as a welcome to new people and asking them to jump in below would be good maybe in place of it's own thread.
If most people are like me they go to the "Most Recently Posted" link. That brings up all the newest posts. New people posting would most likely be seen anyways in that case. Those of us who enjoy and want to welcome new comers would still do it.
In case it is decided to make a new thread can the welcome thread be pinned near the top?
It was said " Please note that if we add this section back in based on your feedback, it may increase the total areas on the forums, making them more difficult to sift through at first glance, as we will be adding additional forum sections later on. "
If the thread became cumbersome could it not be archived once again?
Thanks all for your feedback. 73% of you said "yes" so we'll re-institute the welcome section. Closer to launch and post-launch we will re-evaluate this though as we want the forums to be easy to navigate without too much clutter.
