Title: Do you guys notice....
Post by: Samwise on July 19, 2003, 12:59:48 AM
...a lack of n00bs here in OT?

There has always been plenty of n00bs posting here and with time becoming regular members. However, I can\'t seem to remember any n00bs in here lately. Are they hiding? Are they just not loud enough for me to notice? :confused:

The mystery continues...

1) PS2 is in a state of neutrality. No good reason to register at PS2 forums.

2) Most noobs are shunned away.

3) All the action is at the Madden forums, which is the only ray of light for both this site and forums.

I don\'t visit that section because I don\'t like the game.

Holy crap dude I\'m dead serious. I wasn\'t implying that all the action and my only interest is there, what I meant was that most of our new members are only registering to sign up for our league and play Madden with our members. Easily 70% of our recent new members have registered solely because of the Madden league here.

Yeah, I know. :)

It\'s just odd there\'s never one of them who posts in OT. But I guess we are kinda scary. ;)

I was amazed at how many new people have quite a few posts, all because of the Madden forum. A lot of ones I have never even heard of or read a post from...*shrugs*

The forum has been degraded to the point there is no fun in it. People who once would of been dealt with now run free and the threads are almost always un-interesting, \'cept for a few . We can only hope that when the next console comes out, the boards will liven up or with the "big change" that is being talked about..I highly doubt it though. E3 done nothing for the boards, like it usually does and as for making the site multi-console, there are already more than enough multi-console sites that offer a lot more friendly members.

most noobs are scared away by the members.
actually i feel that its better this way i\'d hate for this forum to have thousands of members with thousands of new threads each day like some other boards i visit.

I\'ve been around 3 years are so but I just dont post much at all.  So Im not really a noob, but if Im held accountable as one for not posting often then so be it.  I dont see how a noob can be any less intilectual or articulate then you guys, because after all everyone here was a noob once. New ppl should be a welcome site, the only noob\'s that are ever really even an annoyance are 13 and 14 years old. Most everyone else seems to act like the should accept for the occasional unintentional slipups.

I joined when I was 15 but I also didn\'t post like an idiot too. I posted good until people liked me, then I posted like an idiot :D

I strongly disagree. If anything, behavior-wise, this place has never had a bigger lockdown on spamming or nonsense. And that is what I think had hurt this place the most, the zero-tolerance rule has really zapped a lot of the fun outta things. You need a couple wild members to bring that kinda spark to a board. Thats what makes things interesting.

Ever since the infamous "crackdown", this place has seen a steady decline. However nothing big enough to ever make me think of leaving forever.
