I have started a discussion in an effort to help the newbies more. Newbie Roll Call I need your assistance in supporting them also. Yes, I know that most of you do that already, but some newbies may not feel comfortable writing a blog. I am hoping this is can be a special spot that they can address specifically what is going on with them or make a comment until they are more comfortable blogging, etc. I need your feedback if you are EXperiencing, Have EXperienced and Have the wisdom to give needed support this discussion comes up. Please feel free to give your input. Thanks for your support in advance. Paying it forward. Feedback on this idea is welcome.

Jackie, I having a difficult time keeping track of all the new people. And some respond within another new person's post. When they don't create their own post, I'm not sure who's who. Maybe this will work?

  You are not a newbie. You are a tween lol. Experience and wisdom counts. You have both.

Well, I don't know. Mark has his daily Newbie lists, so isn't it kind of a dupe? Anyway, I'll jump in there and try to help when I can. The other day there were 40 new members, for example. Kind of overwhelming. Love the idea of getting them more connected with the group.

  Thanks for your feedback. No this is not a duplicate list. Not quite the same. Mark has every new person that has signed up. Maybe it was just me though. I have been keeping track of those who have engaged. via comments, status updates, discussions, and or questions. (places where they may get lost in the shuffle due to other activity on the conversation board). I have been trying to respond and find out how they are doing. It is working to a degree but I need help in keeping the engagement. Everybody that signs up is not going to quit. If you compare my list to Mark's newbie daily list mine is far smaller. This is an optional request, no one is required to help. If one can help, fine. If you notice the help is dwindling.lol

Giulia and JACKIE1-25-15 It is overwhelming...the other day I wanted to go to bed and there were newbies that didn’t have one response...I stayed up just to answer them...I know the feeling of having no or little replies...anyways, I feel like I do what I can here at Ex’s...and not sure I can do more...but thanks Jackie...I like being a tween...lol...~ Colleen 283 DOF

  I noticed the same thing. You don't have to do any more than what you are doing. Just if you see Newbie Roll Call. You may be able to help someone with your EXperience.

    Ditto to Colleen. I'm spending a lot of time also trying to respond to new folks also. Mine are early in the morning.

        Yes, I am sure more.
        As I commented to Giulia
        Mark has every new person that has signed up. Maybe it was just me though. I have been keeping track of those who have engaged. via comments, status updates, discussions, and or questions. (places where they may get lost in the shuffle due to other activity on the conversation board). I have been trying to respond and find out how they are doing.

        If you are new in the last two weeks
        
        I do not believe I would get them all. Some get lost in the shuffle. Some comment in e.i status updates. Which come off the board quickly do to activity.

        Wasn't referring to Mark's list. I'm referring to people I've responded to.

        I am not sure how many you have responded to if I am understanding your question, (today, total or previously included)?
        If you have the time you could check your activity to see. The list that I generated was from my tracking from the last two weeks. I usually give a welcome badge if I have engaged with someone new and try to followup. That is how I keep track via my inbox. A little tedious going through my inbox but I think it is worth it.

Tell me how I can help. Paying back is a biggie on my list too.

Jackie I think this is so wonderful. I agree it is hard to keep track of. I have gone back on some posts that are several days old of newbies and asked how are you doing? I had Ellen & Sootie do this to me several times when I was new to encourage me to post and get more invested with my Quit. It is hard to keep track of. But bless you for this idea and all of you who do pay a lot better attention to the newbies than I do
