As a side note: met a chap the other day who's been registered for a while but doesn't post that much. His point was that it's not that it's particularly unfriendly, just really cliquey. So n00bs have to invest a lot of time "getting" the in jokes, getting to know the personalities, etc. Worth bearing in mind that not everyone can really make that investment.
At the end of the day, let's remember the words of the great Tynan: LFGSS -it's fucking rubbish, but it's free.
