Newb bashing
 

I think one of the reasons we don't get too many new members is because they all get scared off.

I mean, if I came in to a forum and got back 20 flames on my first post I don't know if I'd bother posting on the forum if I was looking for some what intelligent conversation.

The well placed flame is great but atleast make it seem like HDC is a decent place to post. We have some really great posters in Bloodrayne, Urgeok, Sam etc. (The rest know who they are) but we don't have a lot of regular posters on here.

Wouldn't it be great if this forum had new replies more often? Some sub-forums don't get replies for weeks, I think getting more people to get involved in posting wouldn't be a bad idea.

You've come to the wrawng place if you're looking for intelligent conversation.

Hay your post is 666. Anyway I agree. We now have a bad rep. for bashing. And I don't think we should be proud of that!!

No, I know what you're saying...and we've talked about this before. But, some of the good posters here have gone through the same process as all of the noobs. It's just initiation. IMO.

I know I would've been pretty disappointed if when I came here I just got a few, "Hey welcome...go post" messages. That's not how a horror forum should be.

We have an image to uphold here...lol.

A few flames is ok but a few pages of solid flaming is a just too much imo.

Zips lip and stays real quiet in this thread...:p :D

Wonder Why?? LOL

kpro, I know you live to bash newbies. :D It's just that it seems like everyone is flaming which is no good.

I don't really expect anyone to ease up, I just wanted to say what I thought about it.

I realize that not everybody reacts to flames the same way...and some people might take offense. I try not to say anything too harsh...or if I think I did, I have actually PMd a few noobs to let them know it was all in fun (just in case they took it the wrong way).
