Honestly it feels like the people in the lower boards are a lot tighter of a group than the ones in the upper boards. It is harder of a scene to break into. At least for me it is.
^This. I mean, the upper boards are people who play a game discussing about a game and most of them are strangers. But everyone down here knows everybody else. Its the same old crowd mostly[Exceptions abound. I should know.] Hell, **I** know everybody else and I've only been here a couple years[counting a year of lurking before making an account]. I personally avoid the emotion threads most of the time because I realize my post might be really stupid/inconsiderate and don't want people reacting badly to it. And by the time its revised properly, 7-8 other people have posted.
Well, actually, only one person posted before me with this particular post[Does LSP count as only one person? He's everywhere.].
This is less accurate than it might seem at first glance. Probably two-thirds or so of people that you could accurately describe as being well-known down here when I first started lurking have since departed for one reason or another, or barely ever seem to be around, and that's only been what, less than four years since I made my account? Heck, part of the reason why I grew to like B12 LB so much is because of how easy it was to be accepted and how rare it was for people to be genuinely and intentionally hurtful towards each other (that, the lack of postcount-worshipping, and the fact that Toady is the most benevolent admin I've ever seen, at any rate).
