Hangouts or RP forums.
I try to branch out sometimes but...I am sometimes the only poster there as well. xD;;

They don't know anyone and are afraid to jump into threads. And no one has welcomed them.
It's hard though because this happens a lot when there aren't many people actually active and by the time people do come on and start posting and being active, it's too late for that newbie.

Maybe we should all subscribe to the Welcome forum itself?
I want to say mene has a "subscribe to forum" button somewhere.
I'll try it out and return with my results.
Edit: It seems to have let me subscribe but no one has posted yet. Will update again when someone posts so I can tell if it works or not.
edit2: Subscribing to forums does not seem to work. Will post bug report after further investigation.
