I personally think that the introductions sub-forum are a great way for new members to assess the mb community and encourages new members in staying active and contributing.

I've seen a ton of new members in the months I've been here and Carpe and Kartofelbri (however it's spelled) were the only people that remained active and posted more than just a few posts after they introduced themselves.

I think that having more people welcome new members is overall good for the site.

If there's one thing you can take away from my rant here: just reply and greet new members, it takes five seconds to do so. Then you can go back to whatever else you were doing.
