Lil, I don't think such a thing exists, but it is a really good idea. We are in the midst of creating a "welcome video." Perhaps, having this ready when the video is would be a good idea. You want to take a crack at writing it?

You can't get out of it that easily, tng. You have invited friends and I bet you did it via email with a little intro and description, so you'll have to send that along to me (cleaned up of course).

Anyway, I'm beyond swamped right now -- but maybe in a couple of weeks. This would actually be a fun thing to do collaboratively with humanodon or anyone. Sort of like those political campaign templates I get all the time to send to a politician.

Even if there was an Invite-A-Friend-To-Hubski template, I can't see myself actually using it. I have wonderful friends who have visited here such as Sergio and ellens-s-jaffe briefly, or JA_Kennedy just to comment on the poetry, but that was it.

On the other hand, if they knew how we get to know one another in such profound ways . . .

Yeah, I don't think I have emailed many people about it, but mostly they ask me about it because they know I am one of the co-founders. They'll see me post stuff to FB etc. I also tend to invite people to the site in person and not via emails. Also, if you don't think you'd ever use it, then perhaps it's not worth creating.

It's really hard to convey what makes the place special because it really is about the community. How do you convey this? Someone really needs to experience it.
