I agree that Newbies should be encouraged but what do you mean by massive support from the seniors? How can the seniors support the Newbies in posting or in educating them? It is the responsibility of the newbies to learn by themself. Even Seniors were once upon a time a Newbies. They have learned by themself, they have struggled to come to this level.
Maybe some sort of yearly residential gathering? Lots of star jumps, branded T shirts, shouting and whipped buttocks.
I feel no sense of grandfatherly duty to less awe inspiring members. I did not look to be breast fed by anyone on arrival here and the idea of searching for a nipple to latch on to did not occur to me.
