Probably summer boredom. Wait till school starts back up.
Newbies are fine, as long as they take the time to LEARN BY READING before they go off on some 'you ought to...' tangent concerning board etiquette or how someone else should be treated.
Learn or Burn. :evil

Probably summer boredom. Wait till school starts back up. Why would some school kid want to join an OAI board? Talk about boredom! :D I don't know, Mike, it kind of looks to me like they are "being sent". I could be totally wrong, but it seems coincidental that there are so many lately.

I'm all for new posters and OTWA supporters, but I do have my doubts about some of the ones who are showing up all of a sudden.

Maybe the final wave of Ethical (HA!) refugees? THAT board has certaintly died out.
You could be right though, whatch ya thinkin' - we're getting set up for a new SpamOp?
:ray2

Mikey, I'm thinkin' about some of the disgruntled newbies who have come (and gone) lately...I know one of them had invited people over to OTWA...

Kailin, I wasn't including you as one of the newbies. I think everyone knows who you are by now. I do think there's at least one former AE'er who is posting here at TRB under a name other than the one we would all recognize him/her as. I can't understand why people choose to do that.

Good call on the "newbies."

If they're not being sent, they're coming of their own volition, probably looking to "defend."

Could get almost as messy as it gets here at TRB.

Where's the popcorn?!?

As for the incognito AE folk(s)... Yep, I suspect a sock or two here also.

Hi sibs!

Sounds like part of a few new packs--sent over to post a thought or two (or lack of through), ultimately to vanish.

You're right there are lots of newbies over at OTWA.
Every other thread is someone introducing themselves but how many stay is another thing.
