The Flayed One 11-26-2006 10:28 AM

@heebiejeebies - I appreciate it, and I'm sure other members do, too. I don't expect everyone to go to the extremes that I do when I join a new forum. I went through a lot of old threads reading, catching up. When they make inside jokes from a time before me, I usually understand what they're talking about. If I don't, I go searching to try to find it so I understand what's going on.

I'm not, nor would I ever, suggest that you have to do all of this, or even refrain from posting for a few months. It's always courteous, however, that when you're a new guy on the team you learn what you can from the vets. We can tell if you've made an effort: I've never seen anyone here get overly cross at a new member for asking about a movie that already has a thread unless there's a thread on it in plain sight (within the first 3 pages) It's not just here; I've been members of science forums, writing forums and other horror forums. If you take a little amount of time, you'll most likely be welcome with open arms.

@zero - I think we've talked about this before. I notice that when there's a decent thread you make an attempt to be serious and discuss horror. You also participate in tournaments and projects. Besides, everyplace needs a little goofy comic relief. You're like the Snarf of HDC.:D

There have been times within the last month or so where I've almost thrown up my hands and said "To hell with it. I'm going to go find another forum." I don't because there are at least 40-50 members here who are extremely good conversationalists, not to mention I've learned a ton about movies from these guys. It's not an age thing either. There are 16-19 year olds here that know so much about movies that it makes my head spin. If I would have known that much at their age, I'd probably be publishing a magazine right now.

To the 4-5 members who actually read posts this long: insert sex joke here lawlz!

Maybe the solution is to start using the ignore list. I've never tried this, but I think I'll start. Nothing is wrong with occasional jokes or off-topic posts, but when that is all someone offers consistently...time to ignore.

So maybe we should all keep an eye on what we present to the forum, so as not to make idiots and or hypocrits of ourselves. Everybody has bad days. Everyone is going to be in a shitty moods. There's always going to be something in our personal lives that effect the way we react. So by editting ourselves sometimes, or just rereading your post before you hit "submit reply" it may make things smoother, and it will definitely weed out the people with a bit of something good from the folks who are around for no apparent reason.
