'Hi, welcome to babble, my name is muffled, nice to meet you?' I dunno. Thats soiunds kinda lame....?
I hate to be too long winded cuz that'd seem weird.....?
> In theory, I could get the server to do it. But who would be babblemailed? Should I ask for volunteers? That would be like having greeters for each board... And if they do frequent the board, they should already be seeing the green indicators.**Well, I would volunteer for one board. Don't seem to onerous a job. Not like being a deputy, ugh.
Seeing and remembering to go back...

> A reminder here, like this? Or at the top of each board? Thanks for your input on this,*I am inclined to think more crapola on the top of the board is just gonna get missed. Too much. I just zoom past it all.
Mebbe just a reminder thread on admin now and again...
