As one of the "new" folks, I don't really see what you guys are talking about in terms of how difficult it was to enter this community. While I admit to lurking (for RL reasons and WoW ones), most everyone here is pretty welcoming, and you certainly don't literally shun newbies, so I think your problem is lack of advertisement... if you could call it that. Stagnation certainly isn't very prevalent around here, in my eyes.

I remember when I first posted on Pyoko and was immediately yelled at by Elfin.

Of course, I was 13 at the time.

Defen: I actually thought you were someone who was already here who'd changed his name and I had no idea you were new until, like, a month ago.

So, to make up for that, GRR I HATE YOU

I pretend Defenestration is the same person that does a joke account on another message board. That's all I know about him.

That's the only thing that irks me about this board, really. If you're going to go "hee hee, I'm going to be a funny guy and change my account name!" then for godsake use the title to let people know who you are!

It's always been in my profile.

yyler · « **Reply #66 on:** March 08, 2009, 01:14:04 PM »

I only changed mine because Meadowtron is really really gay and I never intended to post with this account.

I don't think I've ever changed my handle.

I think it helps that as long as you're not waving your dick around and trying your absolute damnedest to fit in with everyone via going about embittered and mostly cynical in the completely wrong (see: SoraCross) or rock the boat by intentionally being a huge cockbite, you're fine.

Lyrai just told me to post here, so I've been posting like I post or talk anywhere else. No bells and whistles. Just Grade A Premium nonstop* Alex action.

*May not actually continue perpetually as advertised.

What? That's why a majority of us stay here. I mean, we already got Kazz out of the way.

Alex · « **Reply #71 on:** March 08, 2009, 02:45:10 PM »

But most of the board has seen Kazz in person and got to ~~touch him~~ ~~steal his hair while he was sleeping~~ experience all that is Kazz in physical form!

Royal☭ · « **Reply #72 on:** March 08, 2009, 02:46:13 PM »

We experienced all that Kazz was back on the old forums.

We saw his true form...

Mongrel · « **Reply #73 on:** March 08, 2009, 04:16:21 PM »

And despaired?

But yeah, see you kept your title the same so I still knew it was you! That's all I ask! Change one or the other, but not both at the same time! It confuses me, and that's easy enough to do already!

This is pretty much %90 of the people in these boards to me. That's why the boards "thrive", everyone is an old buddy. <:-)

What is a forum? A miserable pile of secrets.
