One of the ways in which new members start talking to older members is through threads like these. They'll either watch the banter for a while and and choose to join in later on, or they'll immediately find a common ground with the posters. It's even how some active members today made their mark on TiBB.

I fully agree with everything Linda wrote.

And I'd like to mention that I ended any 'war' The Zeta had with The Brotherhood last night. Our thread is no longer in competition with theirs (I'm not sure if it's the same with theirs) so as far as I'm concerned, it's just a friendly little place for a group of people to chat during Big Brother. New members will tend to stick to the BB10 section at first anyway.
