[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2279657, member: 14159"] Y'know, it's a [b]good[/b] thing there are so many new people around here. It means the site is getting fresh blood, and is an indicator that the hobby is growing and well. We should be a lot more worried if we never see anybody new, and [i]all[/i] the posters have been here for years and have zillions of posts. But post count isn't all it is cracked up to be. As was pointed out, the join date is also important. Lots of people are lurkers who may register and never post, or even never register then suddenly sign up one day to post on a thread that gets their attention (or they really want to say something). They'll look like a total newbie, but have been reading for months or years. However, even as one with a lowly ~400 post count, I don't mind them there and don't want them removed. It's just part of the local culture, and I do find it somehow amazing just how many posts some people here have made. [/QUOTE]
