  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Is it me or....

@knw247 Doug I would be willing to let a couple of these go to being a noob. Or just not forum savvy. But there are a few guys that are beyond that. Just posting to post or trying to brag not knowing what they are saying.

@jj16361 Goose these people have been given direction to fix their mistakes. But they don't seem take subtle hints.

I get you flask. All I am saying is that their are lots of ways for new people to come into the fold. I have only been a member a little over a year and therefore do not feel qualified to speak of "lately". I leave that to the VETs and FOGs.

I get that too. I haven't been here 6 months yet. Maybe I should stay out too

You're right Dougie. But then again... If people get their feelings hurt over how newbies act after freshly making an account... They need to step away from the Internet life. Every newbie deserves a chance.

Meh, I wouldn't worry too much bro. I'm only a couple months "older" than @knw247 and I use words like "lately", etc. I figure it's not disrespectful or out of line because, if time here is relevant to the topic at hand or someone wants to use it to weigh the value of a post, they can look on the left side of the screen and see a dude's stats. And sometimes it is relevant, but that doesn't always mean that someone who's only been here a few months is automatically irrelevant. Yes, respect is due to the FOG's who came before us and made BOTL what it is today, but I also think most of them would say that it's a brotherhood, not a competition. (y)

So yeah, let's give the noobs a chance.

I don't think that what's been happening lately is anything out of the ordinary, mostly just newbs being newbs and maybe a stray troll here and there. :troll: Thank God those who were here before me were patient with me when I joined. It's only right that I show that same understanding and patience to the others who have followed me.

At the end of the day the cream rises to the top and the quality brothers stick around. Trolls on the other hand reveal themselves in short order and are gone before you know it.
