I remember back when I was a n00b, I got flamed. Fortunately, I had been reading posts on the site long before I actually registered, so I knew beforehand what happened to n00bs when they started posting. I just rode it out, tried not to take it personally, and showed the members here I had something worthwhile to offer. After a while, I was accepted.

The seasoned members here know that n00b bashing is a sort of initiation ritual here at horror.com, and those that can't handle it don't continue to post. Personally, I think it is a needed ritual. Some of the threads get pretty heated, and you need to be able to handle insults if you want to get involved in them. Also, there was a brief time when Kpro stopped flaming the n00bs (under the advice of Candyman, who never posts here anymore), and suddenly we were overrun with people who flooded the boards with nothing relevant. Everyday we had new members starting up old topics, or initiating threads that were just plain stupid and boring. This caused some good members to leave, and I thought about leaving myself. But I couldn't bring myself to do it.

I don't post as much nowadays because school is back in session, and even when I'm not teaching, I'm at home grading papers and preparing for the next day. Thankfully, I am on fall break this week. :D

yeah so fuck you noobs
