We've discussed the introduction forum a few times now and we've always come to the conclusion that it's just a totally useless way of gathering useless posts.
Besides the fact that hobbies, age etc shouldn't matter when considering somebody for a project or similar, the amount and quality of work of a person should be the only thing that matters this is implemented already.
There are Showoff subforums for every possible category of modding, a person can create a new showoff thread about his/her weapon model, zone, music etc right from the start, I'm pretty sure there is no need for "Hey guys look at me I'm talking about stuff and not really doing anything".
Sort of like the principle: if you want to contribute, dont talk, do it.
After all that's what really matters in a modding community, right? We're no psychology forum where people share their feelings about the world (although there's still the offtopic forum :ugly: )
