A link to the "New members introduction" thread on the main page? I think with so many new members appearing lately, it should be sort of a mandatory thing.

you mean like how about making their first post/ thread a mandatory introduction

'Zactly. Most other forums I frequent strongly advise using the new members intro. thread for their first post. Some require it before posting anywhere else. It alleviates a lot of confusion, and probably even some flaming up front.

Basically just adding something into the "Welcome to Pgh Off Road" part of the main page. Something to the affect of "Please visit the new members introduciton thread here: x, and introduce yourself and your rig."

LOL...you have now. I don't think you needed to do that, since you've been a member for a while now.

Maybe, already seems like it's too complicated for them to click on the "email activation link" - if I throw the mandatory post thread in there as well I'll have to respond to every new user, but I agree at least having it on the home page is a great idea.
