Just getting the biscuits out for newcomers. If everyone is good there may be Hobnobs.

    This is unfair. It’s like those deals for new customers only, while the rest of us have to slum it with rich teas.

      Newcomers? Sorry I have been asleep for a few days.

      We saw a noticeable uptick in sign-ups around Trump’s inauguration (which was unexpected as we aren’t exactly US focused) and, while it has settled down, we are getting more than we were getting before. So I’ve been talking to the other Admins about improving on-boarding and a welcome community seems a good idea. Only the other day we had someone post an introduction in a new community and have to be redirected, which wouldn’t happen as much if we had a dedicated welcoming community and now we have.

      Also… dark chocolate digestives please!

      Of course, we’re not animals.

        No no no, you have forgotten the mythical dark chocolate hobnobs.

        I can’t believe there is even a debate on the matter! 😆

      Oh we are getting out the best China, the lace dollies and the cake stand (even if only for Jaffa Cakes). We’re trying to make a good first impression.
