WooshaQ didn't give any opinion about first time posters, he just stated a "fact" (depending on what you consider alot at least). However there are some other people here who have seemed a bit more disdainful towards newer members.

Well I didn't come here only to request mugen stuff but I did find it by doing a Google search for mugen stuff just like K4thos did. I did some browsing around and found there were some other things I was interested in discussing here like Doujin games which I have a few of that arent listed on the "master thread" and some import games that I am interested in (Bleach DS and Jump Superstars... haven't seen a thread about Bleach Heat the Soul 3 yet though). On top of that it seemed like one of the rare gaming forums with a fairly mature and respectable crowd.
After posting a bit I can say I am rubbed the wrong way by the looking down on of zero-posters by some people on this thread... I'm the head Admin of the largest Magic: The Gathering forum and about a year and a half ago due to some unfortunate events the majority of our users left the site. If alot of people joined our site, even if it's just to post on a specific thread, then I would gladly welcome them to the site and hope they decide to stay for other reasons. Not only that but I've also ran a clan for several years and people come and go, if people stop coming then your going to be in a real tight spot when the other people go (and I've dealt with situations like that).
On the other side of things I can also see why a bunch of n00bs would be unwelcome in a community. There was a point of time that the site I run was so large that it was hard for anyone to stick out and even harder to keep up with anything (though nothing nearly as bad as Gaiaonline). On a smaller basis as a clan leader I've always got to be careful on bringing newer people in and not bringing in too many around the same time or risk alienating the vets of the clan and making them feel out of place even though they were there first. However without those new people eventually the same people will repeat the same conversations over and over just in slightly different ways each time and things will get stale (or people will end up having problems with other people, or life happens, etc.).
I deffinitly can say I feel unwelcome here, however I've been around the net long enough to know that's something that happens when you join a new site and I don't really intend to let it get to me (much

). Though I must say WooshaQ doesn't seem (too

) bad, it's rare you find someone you can reason with online... in your first encounter
I was speaking idiomatically.
