It can be a daunting thing to be diagnosed and then post on a forum so the whole world can comment
I also agree. I don't think I'd posted a thread about myself if there was no section for noobs. Now when I've been here for a while I like reading the new threads in the introductions so that I'll know something about new members.
When I was recently diagnosed I also found those introductory threads really interesting, to find out how other people were affected and what meds they were using. It would be harder to find these threads if they were mixed in the general chat. If you look at the thread titles in the noobs section many of them are such that one wouldn't immediately know they are introductory threads.
So I vote to keep them separate. Not a huge deal for me though, but I don't see merit in merging them.
