Yes and no. While I think we should always welcome new members, I'll take our seasoned members every day of the week. I guess it depends on the Mature/Immature ratio.

What a hipster.

I'd love to see some new blood to snaz up the place. It's like in high school or college when all the new freshman come in. We have some hazing to do... Err, I mean welcome them with open arms ;).

You'd fit right in with those freshman considering your voice still cracks.

Getting some young bloods in here might serve us well. So long as they're not too rowdy.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I'm hoping for cross-console play.

I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

Not at all, especially if they're going to be of the same caliber as some of the members around here already.

Let's just set up a big moat filled with lava, invite new members in, then yank the bridge when they're over the moat.

I don't think that's fair to a generation you've never met

Who cares? Why are you under the impression that I should be caring or fair?

I don't see a reason to be callous for no reason or just for the reason of "it's the internet; I can be a dick and not care". I also don't see a reason to judge a new generation before you meet them.

You come on this website for discussion, right? Discussion with people you like is better discussion, right? Well then, why predispose yourself to disliking both the future discussion you might have as well as those you'd be having it with?

It's not even about being caring or fair anymore, it's about your own quality of discussion.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Don't get me wrong, being dark has it's advantages. The forums are much slower and conversations can be really considered and developed. During release the forums can be so damn fast it is difficult to follow.

To those who are concerned about the rif-raf the new IP will draw in, don't be so damn grumpy. Be happy!

I'm sure there will be thousands of new active members once we get a big reveal. Am I looking forward to it? Sure.

I'm callous and a dick because that's how I am in real life. My friends are the people that I've grown up with and know the best, I don't make new friends. Haven't made any in years. I come here for discussion in the private groups. I next-to-never come out in the mains anymore. I literally care for no one else on this site except those I know in my private chapters. That being said, explain to me why I should bother 'getting to know' this new group of users, whenever they arrive? The discussion value you mentioned earlier is a non-factor.

  • 07.23.2012 7:51 AM PDT

I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully, new idiots won't stay on here very long and new cool people will become pillars for the next generation of the b.net community. I mean, weren't we all new members some time ago?

Well, that being said, given you're not on the mains much at all I suppose your opinion of the newer generation is a bit irrelevant considering they're the same as everyone else you interact with (in your eyes, anyway).

My apologies.

Sure the Flood, Community and Universe forums are great, but they're just not as active as they used to be...

Um... WHAT? Last I checked, the Flood was as active as ever. Sure, the Community has been a bit slow, but that always happens during dev time. A drop in community interest is to be expected when the devs "go dark".

Hopefully they wont be so annoying. Like they will respect us..... Somewhat

Why would someone respect a normal member?

Edit: Also if you joined after 2010 you are the current "new generation", and I don't like you.
