I'd say your join date and how long you've been around has more to do with people not being equal.

I'm sorry that you feel this way Braden, but I personally don't think either has any bearing on being 'equal'. we are all equal. A recently joined member's view is as interesting and relevant as someone's who has been a member for years. Any feeling of being an 'outsider' which a recent member might have, may come from the 'intimacy' sometimes present in banter between long standing members; 'in-jokes', the use of first names etc, but this is only natural, to be expected, and does not mean that those long standing members are being 'exclusive'.
I haven't been a member for all that long, and some of my posts do not always elicit responses, but that's natural, and the same thing sometimes happens to long standing members posts.
I enjoy reading all viewpoints on subjects which interest me and skip any on topics which don't, and I don't personally care how long someone has been a member - or what their post count is.
