Coming to the HDC forums and making the first post was actually rather frightening for me, not so much because regulars might start bashing me than the feeling of stepping into a room where everybody is gathered in their own groups and are already familiar with one another.
As much as I have noticed that many people get bashed because of their posts, there is another reason that I can think of, which may contribute to people leaving as quickly as they come.
When replying to posts, I've noticed people starting up conversations that are only ever understood by those in the know. Those who've been around here awhile. Those who know the "secret handshake," as it were.
I think this can easily alienate others, and make them feel unwelcome. Like outsiders. While some might take that as a challenge to initiate the interaction of getting to know old members better, others may simply make up their minds to leave.
Just a thought.

See ..and thats it right there..
We are all individuals..who have the same passion in horror movies.
There is no secret club or group..in fact
the regs spend most of the time arguing amongst themselves..damn the gloves have come off a few times in here..but ..!!once all the cuss words are said and the thread has lost its thrill..people move on.
Alot of new members just jump in and join the conversation..and just make themselves part of the forum.
In fact ..when they do that..we dont even notice that thier post count is only 2 or 3 :D .
Other new members just walk in..post up links to their 'web sites' then leave..
OTHER new members sign up..
abuse crap out of everybody..
makes out they are mightier than thou..
thats when we all bond together.
As for feelings...who gives a crap..
if the new member is a trouble maker..and yes we have had a few..
then the rest of the HDC forum whores are going to tell them to FUCK OFF ..!!
