I think you took it a bit too personal mate. I've joined recently and I have received nothing but wise words and encouragement from the guys. The ones I have interacted the most Is Bluey and Gingerbeard. I do see a core of people, but they are interested keeping the forum alive, welcoming people and participating. I have yet to get to know the " Regulars ". But from what I Read, great sense of humour and tolerance to weirdness. Which is never a bad thing.
