    You are free to contribute to every thread. If you feel that someone has insulted you, report them. If you think that the atmosphere in some threads is too acidic, start a thread about it. However if you misjudge some comment and then blast off berating someone from the high horse, I'll start quoting Matthew.

    What does Mashu have to say about this, then?

    I'd say it's because of GO and Christemo leaving.
    GO brings them here, the debates keep people here.
    This is Era 4 of new BL.

    There definitely is a component of bringing in newcomers to the entire idea though. Half the reason Buster wants to make the front page is to make it easier to reel in new members; they can keep abreast of current information and get hooked by something without needing to slog through the threads.

    Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.

    I agree. I hope Spinach will contribute to this goal.

    He was actually a pretty decent guy and I wonder where he went. He had like 20k posts, too, a true forum legend.

Because as was mentioned, it's basically like you should come here reading Japanese and following every TM related news source up to the minute or you should go home. And it seems like most people talking about who should and shouldn't post or look in certain threads or parts of the forum disdain and oppose the few places new people won't get yelled at for not reading ENOUGH supplemental material or not being smart enough as to the group think to not ask, say, or think certain things. If you are suggesting that there are only some places newer fans or members belong on the forum, make it policy and make it clear and be done with it. I would suggest that as much as new people shouldn't judge the whole forum based on a superficial understanding of the forum or some of its members, maybe people who are already here shouldn't constantly insist on this post-civility tone everywhere on the forum. How is a deeper than superficial understanding even possible for new forum members when almost everywhere here isn't "for them" very obviously? Lurkers. What seem to be encouraged here are new lurkers, judging by this attitude. Nothing more and nothing less.
    I would honestly say the forum always supported new lurkers who slowly became a user. I was one of them. I lurked the forum for 7 months or so before I joined. I know some people who claimed they lurked a year.

    But yes, I would say we are more vehement in telling people to read more instead of just answering the fucking question.

    The forum has always been divided, and that makes it fun the longer your here as you become familiar with who goes to certain boards, and then randomly seeing someone who doesn't visit your board appearing and you go 'who is this guy again'.

    It's too hard to find the front page, in fact it's nearly impossible to get there if you don't know about it.

    Although that's probably because at the moment there's no reason to go there in the first place.

You walk in, and the first thing you do is announce loudly, at the front, "Sword Art Online is the best show ever made!" Naturally, you're going to get crap for it. Or you walk in and the first thing you hear is some guy up front with a recently-shaved neckbeard with a glowing green nametag go "Freshmen are the wrost, they should totally go commit sudoku!" and instantly decide he's being serious since obviously it was not like there was a time he was a freshy or anything, also isn't it "seppuku"?

    Instead, you go in, you introduce yourself quietly to one or two people. You listen in, quietly attending a couple of days. You realize the green guy always with something that looks suspiciously like weed is in fact the team clown and was being a dumbass sarcastic. You might even have picked up on other anime recommendations that make you realize, oh, SAO is not the BEST THING EVER, although you do find a couple of people who obviously enjoy it. You hang out with them, as it is a nice, comfortable place to begin. Congratulations, you have begun integration into the larger whole like everybody else that's come through those doors. In the future, it'll certainly be easier to become one of the obsessive ones up front that know anime inside out and watch to the detriment of the rest of their lives, but it's also cool if you just hang out in the back with the people who only like the popular shows that crop up a couple times a year.

    tl;dr: Spinach a shit and everyone knows it.
