Getting to know members I noticed the biography section doesn't have much space for information in the member profiles so I thought it would be easier to get to know a member that arrived on the board much earlier than you if there were a place a new member could go to see a members background.
Like a member may be listed as living in Florida but may be in the Army, Navy or other service in a war zone. Could be easier to become familiar with those you meet that have been around longer on the board if there was a link to a voluntarily personal page. It wouldn't have to be full of details but just a down and dirty... here's an example using me... Quote: |
Born in WV on the family farm in 1948. Family moved to New Jersey when I was 17. Graduated high school in Princeton High Princeton NJ. Drafted in the army Nov. 67. Made army a career and retired as a First Sergeant/Master Sergeant in Jan. 80. Worked as a computer training specialist training soldiers around the world for the army with a private contractor following retirement. Married a woman in Germany from Puerto Rico and moved to PR and have lived there ever since.
| You could see how something like this would be handy if you were a new member and wanted to learn something about a member that had been around for several years since it would be difficult to find an Introduce Yourself post. mouse, mice
louse, lice
house, uhh ignore that one
The plural of "spouse" is "spice". LIBERALISM - Emotional thinking fueled by ignorance |
