Uses Plugins Template Edits
No support by the author.
This little mod will start a new thread in the forum of your choice when somebody registers.
The thread message is contained in a template, and easily customizeable on your part.
This version posts the thread when the user registers - but before he activates his email address.
Thanks to flypaper for providing a bugfix.
Installation Instructions: Import the product. Change the welcome_thread template to suit your needs. Change the setup variables in the welcome thread plugin to suit your needs.

One other tidbit I learned today. If you set this add-on to have the welcome thread originated by a user with a space in his name this add-on will no longer function.
This is a welcome new user and post in thread by amykhar
I changed it so it work on 3.8
Change the The Red Parts to suit
// Setup Variables change to match your forum
$forumid = 30; // The forum id that you want the thread posted in
$postuserid = 1; // The Userid of the poster
$postusername = "Username"; // Enter the username of the poster
$title = "We Welcome $userinfo[username] "; // The thread title
Make Template called " welcome_thread "
Code:
Welcome $username
