"Newbies
how do you feel about them?" Most of them a tender and juicy, but some require a good soak in amrinade and tenderizer before you barbeque them. |

Usually I'm glad when this board gains more members, but sometimes I long for the dayse when I could name every regular, and we all knew each other. *sigh* Some of those regulars can sympathize with me, I'm sure.

Well there are over 2000 members (incredible IMHO) so it's not as tight as it was-and when I joined Entmoot wasn't small at all.

*cough* Yes, as I was saying, newbies are an incridibly valuable addition to this board. [offtopic] Laurelyn, speaking of the "old days", why aren't you in Return of TLA? You started the original thread, we'd be glad if you'd post... *hint hint*[/offtopic]

Its interesting how this thread parallels almost exactly the political arguments you hear about immigration in many countries.
old mooter: god i miss the good old days when everyone here was alike and we all knew each other and there were none of these new annoying people taking up all the bandwidth with meaningless strange chatter and mispellings. mooter who has been here less then a thousand years but is still trying to fit in: oh... uh was I here then? *post ignored by old mooter* moderator: hey well we need new blood to keep things vital here. we can all interact together, new and old. new mooter: yeah. i like this place. doesnt this place like me? old mooter You are ok as long as you dont say anything annoying, make six threads about the same thing all in the wrong forum, or make a better argument then any of the old mooters. Or EVEN interrupt..... new fangirl mooter: HI! WHO LIKES ORLI!! DID YOU KNOW I LIKE ORLI!! I THINK I SHOULD START A THREAD ABOUT ORLI! *six or seven of her classmates instintly respond in kind* But enough comedy. As someone who has only been here a month and a half I consider myself extremely new as I have been in places where I spent years as a regular and there were others still more senior to me. So every time I post (like here for example) I wonder hmmm Ive seen the attitude of some of the old mooters I wonder if this will just annoy them cause Im new? But I post it anyway because I dont really care. But I worry that there are others like me who arent quite as intrusive and disrespectful as me (in a good way of course ![]() All that being said though.... I still miss Coney. And I hope he didnt leave just because he felt a new population was taking over and there was no place for him now. Kind of like an elf. And hopefully we wont lose any others for that same reason. Turn over happens and change is inevitable but I hope we can all roll with it and make it work for the best. old mooter: shut up Insidious. Stop making speeches. You havent been here long enough to be taken seriously. sorry!

^^^Very well put IR
I think newbies can be of 2 extremes. One extreme is the newbies who just spam i swear just to annoy us. The other are thoses who get stuck in straght away and have 500 posts within a month. Both can be annoying, however those who get stuck in can also be very useful contributors. Also entmoot is increasing its age range. To keep this going we need to let newbies come, express their views, keep them interested, welcome them,, make them spread the word. When i came to the 'moot i was welcomed and did take a while to start off. But regulars welcomed me helped me along and became friends with me. As i stayed here longer i helped more newbies and as in blackboars case they beat me in post in a bout 2 months. But i didnt care because they were fun to talk to, contributed wisely and didnt spam. Overall i think newbies are great if they dont spam and contribute wisely.

![]() *Glances up at thread topic* Newbies? I remember when I was a newbie (1st joined as Osszie). I was back-chatted, ignored, dismissed and even had derogatory comments made at me ![]() But, I was stubborn ![]() Do I like newbies? Of course I do! I love the fact that there is someone new to chat with practically every day ![]() Newbies have their faults (sometimes) sure, look how many folks have posted absolutely anything until they reach 100/500 posts but once they reach their "goal" they usually go away (why they can't just spend a couple of days in the "Anything" thread like I did is a mystery to me). But without new victims........erm, posters, where would the moot be?.........same old faces having the same old convo's (trust me, for the last couple of day's I've been on such a board....it was like trying to break through a nun's chasitity belt ![]() So come on newbies.........get to know us. Be intelligent, enlightening, friendly..........failing that at least give us something to laugh at ![]() |
