^ On the other hand, this has always been a pretty idiotproof board. Should we embrace the first retard that comes along just because there are no new members anymore?
No i'm not saying that. But I don't think that every new member who joins is a complete idiot. A lot of the members of this board are just really set in their ways and are not open to new things usually, this includes ideas and people.
Oftentimes before a person is able to find their place here, they have already been attacked.
Take for example the person who started this thread... perhaps they were planning on becoming more active here. They don't know that the question that they asked is one that is asked frequently. Maybe this question was their way of feeling things out and starting to post again. *shrugs*
Then Artisticgirl posts the most bitchy thing possible to the individual. It sets a bad first impression. Some people will not want to spend their free time posting on a forum that is so argumentative.
Just not new-comer friendly around these parts is all i'm saying.
