Many forums rely on intro threads that quickly go stale. What alternative onboarding methods actually lead to engagement, such as first-post prompts or guided replies? How can new members feel welcomed without pressure?

I can't say for certain what "works better." I do think people should have options though. For example, there could be one thread for newbies to introduce themselves in plus a whole forum dedicated to new members.

I think that sending a personal message is one of the best ways to welcome a member and it works better than "introduce yourself" section. However, the message you send should be written by you and it should not be automated message.
