Workaround[/url]":2qeq34s8]I wouldn't mind some new blood. I've got a 2008 reg but I've really only been active for about 2 years on Ars at all, and I'm in my first 6 months of being a member... and I'm probably going to cancel at renewal. Mostly because I'll never be part of the old clique, the long timers or whatever. I didn't realize how few people there were like me - newer but interested in participating in the community. It's an old-timer's club here at Ars, and while I'm in the right demographic for this place I haven't been around for a decade; I don't know the words to the songs and there's no lyrics sheet to look at.

Not that I expect the long-timers to change or anything; I totally understand where they're coming from. They've had their friendship and community for years and newer people aren't owed anything. But getting some new people in might be nice - make some new friends, make some new trends, allow the community to change and grow. The roots of the Ars Community are deep but it feels like the branches have stopped growing (and judging by some of the junk going down lately the branches that do exist might be withering).

I have a 1999 reg date but no one ever told me or invited me to any cliques. I'm certainly not part of any old-timer's club. :(

I know, we should form a new outcasts group! :D

Workaround[/url]":2d4npgtc]Hmmm......IRC, G+ and Facebook are already taken, so we can have our sekrit meetings on uh..... Diaspora? Suddenly this club sounds a lot less fun.

Oh wait, maybe I can resurrect the BBS I used to run! :D


i like the cut of your jib. We'll have cool ASCII art and everything. :D Make sure it supports kermit though.

There's no hostility but I've put time and effort into posts that seem to get glossed over. I can only assume it's because the name isn't recognized.

Honestly, most people's posts get glossed over. I forget the name of the phenomena, but it may look like some people's posts are always super hits, when in fact most of the time, their stuff is ignored too.
