[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2892132, member: 18914"] FedNOk - I think this is my sentiment too. Look, there are some new people here and a there is a different feel but it isn't all bad. If this site made it a condition that to participate here I couldn't participate w/Bartertown then I'd say "get bent" and I'd get gone - likewise with Bartertown regarding OSA but that isn't the case. I'll also point out since I am relatively speaking a new guy that 4 years ago it was plainly obvious that newbies got the beat down quick from the old guard on OSA (members not mods). The real problems/dissatisfaction seemed to come when some of the Old Guard received a little of their own medicine from a changing management. I've met nice folks here and on B'Town (in fact many came from here). But there are decent people here too and new ones every day. Some of the distinctions being drawn are just not as obvious or significant if one isn't deeply invested in things that happened long ago. I hope both sites prosper and members of either site, or both sites, enjoy their interactions. [/QUOTE]
