When I registered my account, the page I was automatically directed to was the above page...as in I was directed to a page that contained all the threads that
GermanGiant had created. I had initially thought this was some kind of list of threads that may be useful to read prior to browsing and posting on the forum. I was wrong.
On a related note, it might not be a bad idea to automatically direct newly registered users to a list of useful threads that may help them navigate both the forum and Bitcoin in general.
