Is styleforum turning off new members?

[ryewo[i dmfsOZI490w]

I joined a few days ago and it hasn't been a bad experience at all.

But I'm not sure how typical I am, because I do go through a lot of the old threads, and do searches for lots of different topics, and only search if it's something I can't find after a comprehensive search.

I think the problem is that people come here expecting us to tell them how great they look. When they hear otherwise, they get mad.

I havent been a member here too long, and I havent had a problem. I think if youre easily offended by someone on an internet forum, you probably shouldnt be on one in the first place.

easy to spot them,always congratulating each other on their vast knowledge and master of the universe type experiences or defending each other when you ruffle the feathers a bit,its also often referred to as "the inner (jerk) circle"

That is a fair assessment...

It is like in any organizations , the inner circle doesn't to promote upper-mobility from the newer members..

They only tend to recruit slaves to their sartorial dogma...

the rite of initiation is to post in the Rubinacci thread. doesn't matter what about. you can be as inane as you want. the key is to just post.

you will then have begun the first step of the journey, my son.

also the young wolf can smell when an old wolf doesnt have it anymore,so the old wolf barks and gnarls a lot but in reality he's got nothing left in the tank

It's the frigging internet. Man up and grow a pair.
