[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]." As far as the "several layers of sarcasm and smart ass remarks" goes....every board has that. But here, it's more along the lines of "OH! You wish to join US?? How DARE you! You are a mere puny scrap of a person while WE are forum GODS!" FEH.[/QUOTE]Bull. I see that kind of crap at TrekBBS and Hobbytalk (and so dont venture there), but, spammers aside, we've been very accepting of new members- particularly when they bring sopmething to the forums besides "LOOK AT MY WEBSITE!". The closest I've seen (in a loong tome)to bashing was that Eggelton guy from this past week, but that was [i]definitely[/i] spamming- when a newbie cant even introduce themselves, but just adds a quote from his own sirte and links, it's not likely to get agood reception [i]anywhere[/i]. Imagine: [i]"Hi, I heard you guys like Trek- Did you know that I sell Amway..."[/i] I've not seen us be cold to anyone that joins and posts in a topic in progress or someone that shows off his/her creative talents in a topic in progress. But we're murder on bozos that post a "look at me" thread at every forum around to drive traffic to their site. Guys like Irishman (as example) are always welcomed because their work is stimulating [i]and[/i] they're here to genuinely get feedback- not just to bask in praise. Personally, I'd love to see more overseas members- Andrew, Masao, Bernd, Liam- go forth and stand on your local streetcorners yelling at traffic about how cool Flare is. Maybe hold up a cardboard sign with the address on it.... On a serious note, maybe someone here can make up an Official Invitation to Flare that can be downloaded and then sent, by us, to people we'd like to recruit? A nice LCARS display would be cool.. Yeah, an invitation is an elitest thing to do, but why not make candidates feel special? Hmmmm...we DO need a bit more political diversity to shake up the Flameboard- the unending outrages of the Bush Administration are just not making the waves they used to. [/QB][/QUOTE]
