I think it's you and @abh12345 who were the initial members of SOG who started showing interest in #newbieresteemday and as @davemccoy approached me by introducing me to that, I immediately said I will do whatever help I can to help the new joiners because I just remembered my initial struggles on Steemit and there were no helping hands to me and others who started afresh.
But, with this initiative, we can always assure that, the newbies get the guidance, the boost with some upvotes to make them feel comfortable.

As we can also see, the team of #newbieresteemday is coming up with one or the other new initiative to keep the newbies engaged.
