: I think I haven't been a target for ''oldies'' because when I post I try to ask good questions and not stuff to be cute or that might have already been discussed to death.
See, you've summed it up right there. It's such a simple thing to understand and even simpler to do. The fact that a lot of newbies choose to behave in the exact opposite manner is why many posters who follow those guidelines (both new and old) get so irritated.
A new film will invariably lead to a rise in new posters, but sadly it also leads to a rise in the number of idiots as well. In a way, and given the nature of the film, it's only to be expected.
If the Board turns into a haven for morons, then a lot of posters tend to leave the Board because they feel they're wasting their time posting here, especially when it's flooded with inane questions. I personally find it sad that many people who were regulars up until a few months ago seem to have virtually quit posting. Their posts were so much more amusing to read than all the aforementioned polls and such. And so it goes...
