I've noticed a lot of new faces (or new nicknames anyway) in the "Members Online" box, as well as a lot of new members posting in the forums. I think it's great that the membership has taken off like this and it makes me feel proud to be a part of such a burgeoning community.
So to all the newcomers, welcome. Enjoy reading through the archives, and feel free to post thoughts on any thread, current or old, or even start your own thread.
If you plan to stick around, then check out the Game Design Workshop thread and think about signing up for it yourself.
The Board Game Designers Forum is for everyone, not just the handful of us that have been around awhile, so don't be shy. It's great to have you and we'd like to hear what you have to say. If you don't know where to start I'd recommend reading and commenting on the current Game Design Workshop or Topics in Game Design thread.
