If you would have asked this question yesterday, I would have told you nothing needs improvement and that everything's fine as is.

But it seems like we have a little influx of users and I find that the "Get to know me" thread was a definitive success. Because every time there is an influx, the conversation is usually centered around the functionalities of the site. And while that's fine, I feel it does not give a good impression of how the conversations usually are on here.

I like the get to know me thread because it focuses on users (old and new) and everyone gets a benefit out of it. New users get to see the "personal" nature of this site and older users get to maybe find someone with a similar interest and start a conversation about that topic. The new users on there have stopped being "some new users". That sounds better than having the usual reddit/husbki difference conversation that i'm sure older users will (some already have) get sick at some point.

I propose to start a new "get to know me" thread every time we have a big/moderate influx.

Props goldbludgeon for the initiative :)
