This is a pretty close-knit community that's been together for years and years, and sites like that normally make people feel like they won't fit in as it is... this place has the feel of a house full of students who bicker all the time, even when guests are round.

For what it's worth, in that particular analogy you wouldn't be one of the ones bickering.

And if I did, it´s like if I was invisible. I see always the same faces arguing and arguing endlessly about irrelevant topics. At least to me.
So other than the arguments, you think we could/should be more welcoming to new posters?
