The bunch of us that went to Dragon Man's on Sunday has a merry old time. I think part of the problem is when you don't see someone's face, words come easier. My opinions of a lot of people have changed after meeting them. Weird, Ginsue isn't Herr Moderator! (Completely kidding )

But on the same vein, that kind of comraderie can really exclude new people. I see it on a car forum I frequent. A lot of the original members know eachother, hang out with eachother regularly, and if you're not part of the "crew" you might as well GTFO.

I don't know how to fix that second problem, but being more social might go a long way on the first one.
