I agree, it looks more like spam than intelligent conversation, ultimately detracting from what is a wonderful website.

Step one might be to automatically generate an email to new users that welcomes them, gives a brief intro to the board and what content is available, and encourages them to post *and answer* questions in their area of expertise. Step two might be to display a list of new members and their location for the last 7-10 days. By clicking on names of new members you could view their profile. This way members could easily seek out new members in their area without introducing noise into the board content.Just some ideas.
