Helping new members, take two

I thought I'd bring this up again, as I thought it was a good idea. I'm not sure who suggested it (AG?), but whoever it was should get credit for it.
Anyway the idea I'm proposing is the one in which we would have guides for the new members, and there would be some sort of interaction between new members and said guides to try and get them off to the best possible start on the forums, by basically answering any questions they may have and easing them into the forums.
I can't remember what was said about this last time by the staff, so what do you think?

And it has been brought up in the mod lounge and we're discussing it.

Hmm, which are we talking about here? The "Clipping of wings" or the "Buddy System." As far as I can tell, there was a lot of suggestions offered in that thread. I still don't know about the clipping of wings...I guess it might be a good idea.

But I'm really up for the Buddy System idea. I'm sure there are a lot of us here who'd volunteer.

Yeah, it's the buddy system. Where the new members PM one of the guides/ buddys and any problems try and get resolved that way
Any word on what the staff are saying about this, or aren't we allowed to know yet?

I'd be willing to help. I've had assistance from the mighty Bustamo in the past on some noobish questions I had. He was very helpfull and I didn't have to post it up so everyone could see how much a noob I was. Nowadays I've got a solid grasp of things and enjoy helping others (in the Rpg) or otherwise navigate there way around.

see we already have it set up we just need to get it more vocal and stuff and i thinkit should be the clans that do it cause they have the most experience at it and a more arranged form then an entire site

We don't have the system set up yet, we just have people who let new members know that they're there incase they need any help. This method would a little more, fo want of a better word, 'forceful' for the new members to ask for help.
And I don't know why it should just be the clans who would do it. There are a lot of members who I can think of that barely use the RPG who would be perfect for this sort of thing
