I think if people keep up bringing up this divide between people who were here before and new members, then it will be very hard for the older members...things move on it's the way of life..if people keep trying to maintain this divide then things will get worse...just have to accept that new people will join and things will change..but it doesn't have to be a bad thing..
The bottom line is this is a website where people discuss movies, ,etc.I don't get too worried about the current state of this place.Their are other things out their I consider more important.Don't worry about newbies.
The first post was a review, then it deviated into a discussion, that is when people actually started the thread with an actual review. Despite what it was dedicated for, nobody used it for that. That's why it was closed. People can still review movies in the MDF, anyway. I mean, I personally know how to write a concise review, very few others did, failed to do so in the MRF, so it was closed.
In the sense of seniority. I had an impact on KMC as soon as I got here. Hell, I was made a mod after only 9 months..
Mediocre. Some good, some bad, some areas I don't visit.
Why?
Stagnation. The OTF is completely retarded--and I don't just mean 'stupid', but, literally, 'mentally handicapped'--and every thread on the GDF about current events, in general, turns into an anti-Bush thread.
Every other thread in the Star Wars EU forum is "Who is more powerful: Revan vs. [Character]?" and "Make a Jedi!".
The General Fiction Area is all poorly-written slop that isn't worthy to be used as fodder in a trough. And Harry Potter fanfics that fit into the preceding category.
The Religion forum is dying, as is the Spider-Man forum. The comics seem to be doing alright, from what I've seen when I visit (a rare occurrence).
Of course, I don't visit that many of the forums, so I can't be an overall judge. But those are my observations so far...
Oh, yeah, and the jackasses who come on to the boards and post shit, thinking that they can say whatever the hell they want (Darth Odious and Sniper_sloth come to mind, as do a few others like Carnage009).
It's like on the Fires of Heaven boards: the '05ers suck.

No kidding. It also seems like every other new registered member has "Darth" or "Kenobi" in their username. No offense, Ken - you're the O.K. (original Kenobi).
