Give it a shot.

Yes but the thing is a lot of people don't want to start journals b/c there tank set-up is already done so they just then post pictures of the tank in the picture section. It an intro section people can say where they come from and how long they have been in the hobby and how they got started etc....

The journal section is a document of your tank in its creation and continuing journey. I think that's the best place to introduce yourself. While it's nice to say 'hi i'm new here'...we're all here for our tanks. Either running or in the works. I'd rather see more tank threads than a bunch of intro threads where I'm likely not going to see much besides a bunch of hellos and welcomes.

Just my 0.02 though.

I feel the same way.

Personally I wouldn't look at intro threads but if you introduced yourself with a question or tank journal then for sure I would.
