This is kinda related, but not, so this isn't aimed at anyone, but a good place to post it

It strikes me as amusing when people come to General Chat, Chat & Games etc to get away from "the noobs". We were all new once. I've seen this happen so many times; generation of users who all know each other really well disassociate from the BB section, perhaps because they don't watch it, or because they don't like the huge numbers of new regular users, but they stick around nonetheless. Then, some of that group just stop coming online, because they don't want to speak about BB, perhaps they've gone to University or gotten a full time job and just don't have the time anymore, or they're perhaps a bit older, and have a family to look after... And so those who remain on this site find that, suddenly, they have to become new users all over again, swallow their pride and get to know the new bunch of members on here, or they leave. And, the sad part in all of this, is that I can barely name more than a dozen people who regularly post on here who've been here longer than I have.
Okay, rant over. Feel the love for the new members!
