FT will always be primarily focused on the individual forums for the reasons already mentioned. That said, it is incumbent on members and moderators to make sure that a visitor's first impression is a positive one. If visitors are welcomed, they will come back. This strengthens FT. Hostility to "newbies" in a forum harms all of FT.
