So, the topic at hand. Newbie comes to Oprano, has heard the "Elite" hang out here. Makes a little "HI, I'm new here." post, gets welcomed by a several members and then is summarily ignored on each of the corresponding posts............you don't have to flame to intimidate.

I noticed that on nearly every board - adult or non-adult - and consider it as a normal human behaviour. It's like going into a bar - you come in, say hello, some say hello too and continue to talk with their friends. You sit alone at the bar, looking around a bit. After the first visits maybe the barkeeper recognizes you. If you are open minded and not shy you can make a step onto the other people - but again it's like in real life: not everyone likes you at first sight, some will never like you.
Whether you are really welcome you will find out after the first time you vomitted in the washroom - if they throw you out, you are not welcome!
Cheers!
