Next up, jostling. Every forum has it's fair share of new members being initiated by the old timers by some friendly ribbing. But sometimes this can go too far, especially if (without searching first) you ask an oft-repeated, tired, or dumb question in your first post. It's not pleasant to watch new members get ripped to shreds, and really I'm doing you the biggest favour by forcing you to search first and look around before you ask... the guys here can be merciless towards the new, so say hello first and search thoroughly before you ask stuff. The result, yeah there's still some jostling, but not much, and the place is a hell of a lot friendlier for it and that is priceless.
You will please note that after delivering an initial flame and letting that sink in I'm generally looking for the threads that I know the newbie didn't bother to read in order to add them to their repeat thread. If you haven't worked out how I operate yet, you're probably not reading enough because of being swamped by repeated questions you can't be fucked looking at.. so nyer. :P
