What a good idea! As a newbie I as well would love to be adopted like so many others, but call me a party pooper, How would one actually put this theory into practice???

69 looks like the symbol for Pisces.
People with 69 at the end of their nick are Pisceans.
Yes?

Painted myself into a corner there, didn't I? :shock:
As you can see from the posts, if it is not set up properly it will be fraught with problems and would reflect badly on the Site and those involved with the mentoring.
We are not looking to turn them into clones of ourselves and we would not guarantee them a shag either! I know some people already do this (Mentoring, not the guaranteed shag!!) and thanks very much to them for it. We have loads and loads of folk joining the Site and either leaving because they don't fit in, are booted for being an arse (amongst other things!) and those who maybe are a little shy, but if they had stayed and overcome this, could have become really good Site members. Are we losing the ones who can really add to the Site? Who knows, because they have gone! Perhaps it might stop some of the 'I want a shag NOW!' posts and the one-liner PM's. We can have rules all over the Site for all eventualities, but who would read them all? If we can gently point them in the right direction before their posts cause problems, all the better.
I wouldn't want this to become too regimented, it needs to be something that many can do and loads will want to take advantage of it. However, we do all need to be singing from the same hymnsheet in regards to what is expected of both the newbie and the Mentor. At this point we don't need names of either potential volunteers or newbies needing nurturing. Once we have gone through these posts and thrown some of the ideas around, then we will ask and get something going.
Thanks for all the comments

I think perhaps a thread for volunteer Mentors would be better!!

As a relative newbie couple,albeit regular poster on the forum, can I ask what is wrong with the way things are at present?
From a purley personal point of view, we made the effort to get to know folks via posts, PM's and MSN which has allowed us to build up the friends we have on here.
Everyone that we have spoken to or approached for advice etc have been very forthcoming and helpful as we have hopefully been if asked a question by those newer than us and I'm sure we'll all agree that is the beauty of this community.
Glasgow will be our first munch and we are sooo looking forward to meeting in person those we have gotten to know of late. Personally I think that the mentoring of newbies could throw up a lot more problems than it would solve and the answer to calming nerves of those joining would be to continue to be as helpful and welcoming as we normally are.
For new comers all I would advise is to make the effort to fit in and get to know people...........it will be rewarded.

Could be wrong, but I always thought it was a play on the sound of his username - tumescence .
Not only did I not get it, but when it was explained had to look it up in the dictionary, it`s simply not a word I ever remember coming across.
