SDMB is a great message board, with the most amazing and intelligent posters. Problem is thats kind of intimidating in and of itself sometimes. Doesnt lessen the wonderfullness of the place, but it doesnt exactly leave it newbie friendly either. But yeah what \*\* 7 up yours\*\* said is very true. ---

I agree with the OP. Its hard for me to describe to other people how great and useful this board is for me. They give me weird looks like I’m spending time talking about how R0XX0R things are. [sub] I fear the Grammar Police [/sub] ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zcrysis \* > \*\*\ but it doesnt exactly leave it newbie friendly either. \*\* Aw, c’mon! Some of us are nice to newbies. Some of us were newbies ourselves once yoiks, I just realized I just passed my 3rd anniversary here… and some of us are just plain nice anyway. Rumor has it I’m one of the nice ones. Rumors wouldn’t lie, would they? Yeah, I love this place too. I’ve peeked into some other message boards, including one dedicated to the area where I’ll be living next year - I’ve never found one I like as much as this one. This here’s a high-class joint! 😃 ---

They can be rough on newbies, but IME what happens is… Newbie registers Newbie saunters in to Great Debates Newbie posts 8 posts on hot button topics, with no cites Newbie is eaten alive Newbie pits the posters from GD for being mean. People in the Pit make fun of the newbie. ---
