Keep it. Gives newbies a place to post to start with. I know when I join new forums its a pain in the ass to find somewhere to post incase it is wrong, just knowing that the community is friendly is a good thing. That said there seems to be a flamewar in 6/10 intro topics...

Posting a kickass video as a first post gives you more change to be known than some spam-ish message on the forums.

No, we don't need it. But since it'll be still kept, I'd love to see post count not rising there.

i mean i never used it and i got on fine, but then again i new about most crews and some stunters before i joined,i also knew skull used the forums alot.

we could always just have like a list or video like i sed i mean like
just descriptions or a video to show things like

market place if you need anything

video realease places and where to post you own

downloads-dannyes, no cd patches and what not

where to join collabs

also like a link to the stunting tutorials-i never saw these until i got into stunting and knew everything,it would have helped me alot!

i mean just to get people started,the video would be simple to make just record your voice over some video clips of the screen lawwl

It's not vital to the forums but we can afford having it (it doesn't take much space), even just for the sakes of tradition.

//Bump:
What about making the introduce youself section into a topic? Its usually only one or two sentences in each topic and there is no real discussion, just a warm welcome. This would work as good in a topic, but it would keep the forums smaller. We fight with less and less activity each day anyway, so making the forums smaller is a good idea to push masses into fewer sections while keeping the old content.
