Are We Welcoming Enough To New People?

Maybe I should ask Realtalk or FTD just how friendly you are.

I'm sorry, are we talking about welcoming new members or are we talking about particularly spiteful relationships between multiple semi-regulars?

I mean what kind of joke is that.

Brother, lurking is a observation tool. Nobody said lurk the entire time you are on here. Just get to know the people you are about to start bashing.That's it.

I mean **** man, by your logic, they come here say what they want to the wrong person, that person is loved by someone who can drop a ban hammer and they end up banned any ****in way. I mean **** at least if they lurk they might learn a thing or two.

But hey by all means bro, entice them to a ban.

You can talk about what you like, so can I

Now hold on brother. When were you talking about welcoming someone? Just now when were you talking about that?

Don't get yourself into a corner you can't get out of.

What are you talking about? Being welcoming and friendly to new members has been the whole point of what I've been saying all this time, especially when said new members are friendly people that deserve to be treated nicely in return.

We should be ecstatic when a member like that comes around, ESPECIALLY on a music forum where a diversity of ideas is exactly what we should strive for (unless you're realtalk, I hope she leaves asap)

It took a while, but I finally understand what you are saying. Yeah, I agree with you about that.

Look, it's a forum do whatever the hell you want (obviously, as long as it doesn't break the rules), personally though, that's not the mantra I live by though.

Also, YD, I think Roxy is talking about new members coming into this thread, and spilling their guts about the members when they've only been here for a week or so.

I lurked, and I didn't come in here for a few months until I wanted to know what happened to Kartofellbrei.

RoxyRollah · 04-01-2014, 12:07 PM

Right, but just now we were talking about cliques, and members treating each other poorly. And when reposted what I had actually done for your "friend" there the only thing you could come back with was lurkin is weak. That's because I wasn't mean to your friend like you thought I was. I even answered his threads to make him feel welcome. Now again what is the problem with Noobs taking a minute out of their MB tenure and learning what the regular people are like. THAT IS NOT US WELCOMING THEM. That is noobs walking into a tight knit community and effectively inviting flame. So I fail to see how you were talking about welcoming people just now.

Urban mentioned your relationship with FTD and RT. And I am gonna learn you something right here. So clean the **** out from between your ears and listen up.

You my dear, although I like you and this in no way effects my personal relationship with you. You can be hurtful to people.

I don't put you on blast for how you talk to my people. Do I? Nope. And when you put me on blast I was neither to chicken to own up to it, or not able to defend myself. You however my dear make it a point to bash RT FTWD and all I will say is that because of that you have 1 of those two women wondering what the **** your problem with her is. I know because they pmed me and asked. I guess in my opinion people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I think it is more deplorable to run off an established member then to point noobs who might not stay in the correct direction.

Nope. Didn't insult me, I just think its a matter of knowing when to keep your mouth shut, and when its ok to open it. But you know, I am old school like that. I don't get saying ****, that you can't take back and being wrong on top of not being able to take it back..

I mean don't say anything at all that way, when you give your opinion, it's based on more then 24hrs. But hey I must just be too stoned for this conversation again.

Oh Roxy <3

I knew you were cool from day 1 don't doubt the instincts.

Look i get you and Trollheart's point, IN FACT i remember being a noob and posting here in MB that this place was horrible, just pointing all it's flaws and Trollheart himself scolded me about it and he was right.

Old members do know how things work around here but this doesn't mean this is their private playground. as a noob i found it very hard to fit in around here exactly because of this.

I can dig that, I can respect that. I felt the same way at some points as well, but honestly if you are not smart enough to realize that your perception of these people is not reality then you should consider another pass time.

I look at it the opposite if you're too insecure to post on a site then you have other issues. There is nobody stopping anybody from posting/making friends doing whatever it is you desire. If somebody find this place callous then they probably go through life sniveling about alot of stuff.
