 I'm sorry, but I still can't get past the screenname of "MeatyTreats".

| I think enforcing the rules is a good idea. I think A LOT of the people here have a serious connection with each other. Its obvious that most of your know each other pretty intimately. I also think that is great for you guys, but extremely intimidating to noobs or outsiders. Especially to people who say the wrong thing to soon. I've also noticed that people who don't care to indulge deeply into their personal/ non dog life are often ignored. I know I felt that way many many times. Its honestly kinda painful to watch som'one elses thread get three pages of comments and watch yours get ignored. Anyway. Sorry im starting to stray. My point is I feel that better enforced rules will make everyone feel more excepted and welcomed because the playing field is leveled a bit.

| I see your point . There are many cliques here only because some of us are long time members and have known each other such a long time . It takes time . You've been here 6 months ..... you'll feel more comfortable as time goes on ! |

I completely agree, and this was the point I was trying to get across in a different thread (I think... I am sure I typed it and didn't just think it......).

| Thanks guys. I know you guys have been here forever and that why you all get along. I get it. I really do. Its really awesome for you guys. Im glad you all can connect like that... Personally, I come to a dog forum to read/learn/discuss about dogs, and my second objective (which is very minor) is to discuss personal stuff. Most days, when i hit "new posts" most, if not all at times are "fire hydrant" threads. I hate to attmit it, but it really disapoints me at times. I want to read a heated discussion about som'thing. It seems the only mind clashes I see is when a noob strolls in and says som'thing stupid. Which, like i said before, is awesome for you all that know each other wonderfully. But hows a noob supposed to jump in on most of that stuff? I know I tried many times to give compliments/ encouragement/ condolences etc etc on fire hydrant threads and then had the OP thanks all their buddies and ignore myself and other new posters. Not always. But yeah it happens, and it honestly stings. Not trying to stir the pot. I really like you all, and i really like the idea of rules being enforced and the "people in power" being more impartial.

| Everyone comes to learn about dogs, and in time, learns about other stuff too. And I can assure you, being here a long time doesn't automatically mean we all get along
