The long history is interesting, especially to those that have been here, I suppose... but does seniority really matter that much? Can't people join, and become accepted as a full fledged regular in a matter of weeks, if they're real? I think so. I for one, am more interested in what they post, than any other measures, even if I disagree with them.

No. Cause we hate newbies and kick them to the curb, after beating their brains out and emptying out the cash from their wallets.

I think people *can* catch on right away, if they're real enough. Some people who have ended up as fambly started out pretty rough, but still persevered and gained acceptance.

I'm not saying we're elitist or anything. Quite the opposite. However, dipshitness just doesn't fly well here for the most part. And senority? Pfft.
