[HBARleatherneck]

Well, I'll put it this way, when I first became associated with this endeavor, it was a small board with less than 10 users on it. Tucked away in the recesses of the MSM communities. Think I was the 7th or 8th member to sign up. Out of the "original 10" Roger and I (Sounds like a bad Mikey Moore movie.) may be the only ones left.. The COAR "monthly shoots" consisted of me and one other guy heading up to Pawnee every 2-3 weeks. That was like 2002 or so, dang, has it really been that long....

I have thought of this as an extension of the old HS locker room.. The new kids show up and try and fit in. Some try too hard, and some integrate easily. Never really thought of "clicks" here, although, I would guess, it may be a little like life, one may tend to gravitate towards the "old friends" until the new guy is accepted.

Just remember, for the most part, there are a bunch of guys here. So, insults and jabs are going to be par for the course. Just need a grain of salt with everything. And, like the old locker room, now and then a newbie will show up all full of himself, and it will be a piranha feeding frenzy.. It's the internets man, serious bidness, seriously...

I'll chime in with another "it's the internet". You have no idea for the most part who your dealing with age,race,gender,politics,etc. You need to be a little thick skinned on any forum otherwise you'll take stuff way to seriously.
I've been out of work since March and my daily forum visits sometimes are the only thing that keeps me sane. Lots of great people on here and a lot of folks that step forward all the time if they can help another member.
I don't know if I want to meet too many of you-the mystery makes it more fun

I know, I just couldn't spell it....

[TFOGGER]

I've been here for a while now, and for the most part, it is the most civil of the forums I am on (maybe because we're all armed? ). Even when things devolve into a flame war, the temperature of the flames is lower. Hardly ever do you see someone indicted as Hitler or Stalin. Except theGinsue...

Even the n00bs are generally treated well, as long as they don't try to be gungho know-it-all types.

As the days get shorter, so do the tempers, and I am as guilty as any of just being a total d!ck when the weather turns to sh!t and I'm cooped up inside all day. Or most other days, for that matter.....
