No clue if I am one of the newbies being refered to but you guys seem pretty quick to jump to conclusions about people. I actually thought it was kind of cool to have a local community forum to get to know more about what is going on in my area.
Can't speak for anyone else but:
I could care less about entering any contest.
I recently moved to the area and had a legitimate question.
My name has plenty of meaning for anyone who has known me for the past 10 years.
Also, it has been the same screen name I've used on every forum I have ever been a member of, so for simplicity it made sense to use it.
My real name is Chad. Nice to meet you all. :D
@haybine: No, sorry, it's the names like "yallrlosers" and "giveupImwinning" names that are obvious joins for contests. Sorry if you thought you were included.
We don't mistreat all newbies. You might, however, get pinched and sniffed by various pervs. Just pretend they are puppies, ignore them and they will finally get bored and move on. Unless they take a real liking to you, and then you basically have to adopt a perv of your own and keep him entertained for a while. Don't be offended. We all have at least one.
