another thing is, if you go back about 10- 20 pages from page 194 all these members have only made 1 post... no doubt they were all pimping sites and stuff. :rolleyes:

i must admit ... the Noob bashing may be daunting to some ..
A lot of people just dont have the constitution or self confidence to deal..especial some younger folks who may be having a bit of a shit-life crisis and came to horror who love the genre thinking it would be a fun 'safe' place to hang with kindred spirits.
I know a lot is in good fun but some folks show far more zeal and energy doing that than in any other forum - and 'dont take things seriously' wont cut it with a lot of people.
So we might be losing the odd person who may develop into a respected contributer ..
Personally i never got bashed (until Shanks reads this :) )
And even if things get beyond the welcoming stage .. small mistakes are handed with a sledgehammer - which i'm sure drives off a bunch more.
I know its a major souce of kicks for a lot of people and no doubt there is a percentage of people that warrent every grain of shit we get - but I'd hate to think we were driving out fresh meat with potential since the gene pool here is getting pretty thin.
- which shows by the low participation in the movie, etc, threads.
The General forums are fun ...but I really enjoy the film talk too .. love to see more of it !
