Uncyclopedia:Welcoming Committee
Who are we?[edit source]
The welcoming committee is an informal group of Uncyclopedians who greet new users and help them get started.

Why are we here?[edit source]
Mostly because we have nowhere else to be.
What do we do?[edit source]
Meet and greet. Arriving at Uncyclopedia as a new, fresh-faced first time user is often a daunting task, "how do I upload images?", "why do people not want to hear about how gay my friend/classmate/casual acquaintance is?", "why is DaniPine3 banning me for life?" and numerous other questions need to be addressed. That's where we come in. That and the joy of seeing your signature spammed unmercilessly across the entire site.
There is no need to post Welcome messages on talk pages of anonIP users, only people who have taken the time to actually sign up for an account.
Please note the correct form of the Welcome tag that we utilise at this time is {{safesubst:welcome}}. Feel free to place your signature after this.
