I look at it every day. It's only slow because it's not spammed.
I don't do much with my novices, unless they ask questions.

I regularly message my novices, usually by mass message, and I ALWAYS check it when I get a new one.
This forum is pretty inactive though.
Also, I only replied so quick as I checked the unloved topics 56 seconds after you made this.

Nothing much to do with novices, I get the occasional Hello, etc.. and "added you to friends".

I realised about 10 minutes ago i hadn't checked my "1 Novice" thing, i replied in a welcome topic and it was actually that "1 novice's" topic.
I fill out the novice welcome message with a little bit of "Hello I'm Adam I'm your support leader" etc.
I occasionally get a friend invite from one of mine, i always like to accept.
And i look at this forum a few times every day, it's quite active i feel.

I actually found this topic through stalking you. I just clicked on the last topic you made, and BAM. Creepy?
I do nothing with my novices. I check them to see if they look like they are going to be a threat.

I try to read the topics in this forum once a day, but normally there just aren't many active discussions. We only get a new topic maybe once a day, or even once every couple of days, so there isn't a lot to talk about.
I don't do anything with my novices, I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do. I ran a contest once, but it wasn't very active. My novices are kinda boring (sorry guys).
------- So when you're happy (Hurray!), or sad (Aw!), Or frightened (Eeek!), or mad (Rats!) An interjection starts a sentence right.

I obsessively check all the LW stuff forums (feedback, M2M, SL discussion, mod forum now as well) and so I see practically every reply that comes through.
Novices? I scan through the list every so often to see if any are online, and if they are, I generally message them to say hello and just check everything's all right. Apart from that, I just answer the questions they send and flick through the list to make sure they don't look like spammers.

As I just became an SL today, I have no novices. So, uh, nothing.
Is there supposed to be a certain message we send out for every novice? Is there a template (almost) to work from?

OK, thanks!
There's a lot to digest in the Support Leader Guide, I think I'll leave it a bit before I type up my welcome message.
I regularly message my novices, usually by mass message, and I ALWAYS check it when I get a new one.
What do you say in these Mass Messages that you send to your Novices? I don't generally interact with My novices unless they message Me asking for help with something first and I don't think I've ever sent a Mass Message to any one group of people.
------- I worship the power of these lovely two, With that adoring love known to so few. 'Tis indeed a miracle, one must feel That two such heavenly creatures are real.

I just ask how they are, if they have any problems. Stuff like that.
