It's sad to see when new members come here to post and get such a warm welcome. This thread is not by any means the worst of them, I have seen worst welcomes by you older members.
Is this how you treat new people you meet in life? Treat them unwelcomed, not worthy to be in your clique? This is one of those topics that I had discussed in great detail with the powers that be when I was a mod, how new members are treated like second rate citizens. It's no wonder they don't come back to post again.
I may not be a mod any more, so why do I give a damn? I like Obsidian as a company, it has some of my favorites from the old BIS days and I like the forum community here believe it or not. I want to see it grow and become a good community and company. This will not happen when it becomes stagnant because new members are not returning.
Think about it.
