@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!
