no newbie??

i don't know why i always see some particular members posting here. some new people come but they soon leave. isn't it because you're always talking to your old friends and don't give a f*** to a poor newbie?:cry: how many years i should resist and put up with this situation till you finally accept me as a member? does it even happen during my life time?:cry: :cry: :cry: i want friends..:shy:

That's not true at all.

I'm sure some people don't read my posts sometimes, but I don't read their posts sometimes too.

I know what you mean about people talking within friends, but that's not really what it is. It seems like it, but I don't think that's the case.

Anyone can jump right in.

Try it.

you are always quote each other and only reply to each other threads and posts. :mad: even when you want to reply to a newbie thread and help him, you're only having fun by talking to each other and thread goes off topic after 1 or 2 replies most of the time! :grumpy:

Yes, but some regular members leave GD.

For example, Danger. He was the popular one, but he's now just floathing about in Physics I think.

New people might not notice this forum. They might also not be interested in chatting with us. They might have another site they enjoy already. Who knows.
