You can't blame people for not wanting to put their private info on public boards in order to post, especially newcomers.
EXACTLY......
I say, get over yourselves..this is not GM
I post on 4 other boards, we get trolls there, they are ignored, they go away....but newcomers show up and state an opinion...no big deal, their not censored....and they get responses.
I will say this board has changed alot since I started posting 2 years ago. There are great people that post here, and nice members of the club that dont even post here. But this is a very cold board, compared to the other 4 I post at, especially to newcomers. As I have said before, their are people here that it seems that if they want your opinion, they'll give it to you.
