On the one hand, I agree with Bruce because I have been observing this
forum for awhile and have hesitated to join because I have seen the abuse dished out by long standing members that basically don’t want new members to join. (Yes, it's obvious) On the other hand, I agree with some of the Cellar heavies that he AG refugees have mucked up the works a bit. However, as I have been observing for several months now, the AG virus was irritating even for me. My initial reaction was, "NOOOO, you're messing it up!" But I think the AG refugees have made an attempt not only to adjust, but to assert their own personalities as well. Nobody wants a forum full of sycophants. This is my two cents as an outsider. (Note: I didn't say lurker--I said observer.) (MMMMM...fresh meat...) |

Thanks, Steve, but, as I have observed this forum for awhile, I think you have a few things to learn about the people who take part in this forum. I've read 80% of the forums and also read maybe 30% of the archives (depending on what interests me). Looking before you leap might be advised at times. That said, I don't find the AG group to be counter to the general Cellar idea--you just need to spend some time getting to know these people before you jump in head first. I certainly know more about them than they do about me. Not a bad position to be in.

Well, HardDrive, I don't see any need to look before I leap, or research the people here before I type. What's the worst that can happen? People will type insulting messages about me on a message board?
If you like to read everything here before you post, that's fine. But, I can't imagine one single problem with my style of jumping right into this or any message board.

like harddrive, i've watched this whole thing unfurl. I have never seen such hostility towards "newbies" before, and I dont understand what all the fuss is about. just as in real life, if you don't like someone and genuinely dont give a fuck about what they think, well fuck them. ignore them. thats your call.
I totally get the desire to keep the cellar as it is, but if it is getting out of hand (which I don't think it is) go snitch to undertoad (who knows all about it already). get over it. jeez...........can we have a new subject please? this one is much more irritating than anything the "newbies" have done so far |

@Ceyenne: You really don't know the extent of it. Calm down and start reading.

Steve: I'm a noob as well. I'm just saying that these people have continually tried to tell you that this is not just a message board to them. This is a 'community' to them. Like it or lump it--you won't change them. It's your job to figure out if this is your "thing" or not. I'm not an "accepted" member of this board, but because I have taken the time to read their thoughts over several months, I have an idea of what they expect. I'm not saying this is democratic--I'm saying that this is how the Cellar was designed to be and they are protecting the Cellar against garbage. The Internet is chock-full of forums wherein people cannot spell, write, etc. I think they have given you guys more than enough welcome. Stop trouncing it. Read what the people in your "new community" have to say!
