I've been reaching out to the new members. I think I'll start using a gif to make it more colorful.

One way to help people know about Nexus is to highlight the info in the text box above, copy it, and paste it into new member's comment section.  That will show up as below (and is the same as the text box above):

Welcome to Atheist Nexus!

Nexus has many ways for members to be involved, make friends, learn, and express yourself.   The welcome center is composed of Nexus volunteers, sort of like greeters at your favorite store.

 

Get to know people with similar interests by searching on Groups.  Use the search box on the Groups page, or browse through the many pages of groups, to see what's there.  There are Nexus groups for various states, cities, countries, ideas of personal expression, hobbies, and many other groups.  Get to know people based on what you enjoy, or what you have in common with others.

 

Ongoing forum discussions are of more general interest than the groups.  Switch toforum categories for a somewhat organized format.

 

To find local groups and make friends or chat, Meetup.com is a great place to locate groups or start one.  (note, Meetup is not connected to AN).  Join Meetup and search on a key word, such as atheist, atheism, skeptics, freethought, to see if there is a local group.

 

Support nexus by going to Amazon.com through the site (see the amazon box on the right).  Buying from Amazon via the Nexus site does not increase your cost, but results in a small fee going to Nexus.

 

Terms of service helps you know the "rules".  You can also find the TOS on the bottom right of the main screen.

 

The right sidebar shows recent posting activities and discussions by Nexus members.  Click on "more" at the bottom for additional activities by members.

 

If you have general questions about how Nexus works, how to find what you want, or other questions, feel free to ask me or another volunteer member of the Welcome center!

Enjoy.

I need to get myself in gear and do more welcoming as well as get back into the topics that I am most interested in.  That would be more productive than what I've been doing.  I go through periods of being enthused and periods of being not-enthused, just like others do.

Yeah - I've been welcoming the new Texas members -- might think about branching out now that I'm not quite as pressed for time.

If any group moderators would like a custom animated gif for their group to welcome new members, contact me.
