About new members, I remember when I was new and caused problems. Someone, I don't remember who, put me in my place very quick...and I grew to be at about 3000 posts (P.E.N.G.U.I.N. had almost 2000) and I guess a decent enough member...and I get really angry when new members come around thinking they're God's great golden nuggets or some shit like that and start shit with those of us who have seen the forum's face change over the past couple of years just because they have a + under their names...
The only thing we can do, as old members, is stick together. Act as pseudo-mods...put out fires if they're growing...remind people of the rules...and be kind to people. Fighting gets old quick.
