Remember too, a lot of the "newbies" were just new names created by Mavric or some other outcast who would come back just to post nonsense.
In any case, tinymike is right. Yeah, it was common to pile on the newbies, at least at first. But most of the attacks were on folks who would log on for that first time, and proceed to make five different threads about silly, non-show related stuff in General Discussion (and then when their thread was moved to an appropriate forum, would make a new thread asking why the old thread got deleted), or spam threads in OT, or hotlink sigs, or generally did shit that clearly indicated they never even glanced at the FAQ page.
I mean, it happens. You are there with your friends, in your clique (so to speak), and some new guy just pops up and immediately tries too harder to win you over. It just doesn't work like that. If more folks would <b>think before they post</b>, we would still be logging on to OA.com instead of here.
