    Almost every new member that I've seen who has submitted a post or made a comment has been engaged by somebody in a meaningful way. It's those interactions that provide for a welcoming environment, and cemented my decision to regularly use this site after joining last year.

That's true. We can't give tng all the credit. The community at large is really great at engaging with all users. Sometimes I even find "pockets" of new users all talking to one another. Whenever I see a wall of gray usernames, I think JACKPOT! I FOUND FRESH GRAY BLOOD! ASSIMILATE! :P
