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.
