The idea of keeping all newcomers to a single forum has some possibilities. First, it allows the moderators watching spam to stay in one area. Second, a "live one" may not really know where to put their question, and the moderator can move it for them to the proper forum. The questioner upon returning will see the thread moved and know where to put it. It's just a matter of seeing how "live" the newcomer is to allow them full access -- one or two starting threads.

Barnaby The Bear's my name,
never call me Jack or James,
I will sing my way to fame,
Barnaby the Bear's my name.
In search of Earth, flying in to the night.
Round, all around the world.
By the way, my name is Max.

Looking it up now, here's the song (without that last line):
Barnaby The Bear.
