This is definitely true! Every message board that I have ever been a part of has eventually turned into a private group of friends verses the rest. Sometimes, I was part of the "private" group, other times not. It's kind of a distraction to new people and even long time members who are not lucky enough to be a part of the inside gang. Still, I don't think that is ever anyone's intentions when they offer a message board to the public, but often times it winds up that way.

the forum other forum i frequent is like that. it used to be a beehive of activity but now it consists of roughly a dozen debbie downers. they are so mean to anyone who posts, i don't get it at all. i basically just go there to clean up spam, sad

I'd have to say, this board has been really good about that. Sure, there are some that have been here forever, but there is a lot of come and go too. I would say that ranters and people who just post to see themselves post are chased off pretty quick but, if you make solid contributions and can back up your opinions with actual thought out positions, you get accepted in pretty quick.

I mean, except for CRed ... He just got in 'cause everyone assumed he might be half as smart as me.

i have to agree that this board does a great job of keeping the relative peace and not attacking newcomers. God bless

/Serious face.

I agree. It's like someone said in another thread, this board generally polices itself. There's a number of members here that have joined and made a positive impression, and have been accepted. As some have left, others have joined.

There are a couple people here I ignore, but for the most part I like reading everyone's opinion on things. Even if I disagree with them we are still able to keep it civil here too. There's a good reason why this is the only board I've ever been able to stick around on out of all the forums I've joined on the web.

Actually they hoped I would give the same info in posts half the length.

I'm not apart of the inside "gang" and I get it. Just go watch Monty Pythons "The Holey Grail", and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy".
Having done this I think you will be fine.

No crap. I have a ton of waisted posts here but in other web sites I have like only 800 or less. I just get tired of how their boards have changed so much and now are more about policing what everyone can and can't do vs. voicing opinions about subjects.
