Visiting theOtaku.com as a new member can be a little intimidating. I know we're a pretty big site.
That's why I'm pleased to announce yet another new feature that I hope becomes a huge success: new member introductions.
There's now a dedicated page in our backroom system where new members can post a little bit about themselves and even request an Otaku Mentor, someone who can one-on-one help them navigate the site and serve as their guide.
This feature is also great for those looking to make friends and more senior members who want to donate a little bit of their time to helping someone else.
In your main backroom page under "Notifications" you'll also see the # of new introductions in the last 24 hours.
Hint: Anyone who wants to eventually become an Otaku Angel is expected to spend a lot of time here. (We're not going to make this a requirement for the first batch, but down the line...)
UPDATE: I made it so that only people who've been members for 60 days or less can post for now.
UPDATE: I made the backroom notification so that it's more personalized and more like a notification. It'll be the # of new member introductions since your last visit.
