I am an extremely active member on many forums. I don't talk a lot at the table but I pay attention to what is said. That being said I was very disappointed at the behavior of the players I saw at my first table today. One player in particular berated everyone at the table for being new, playing poorly (a little hypocritical in my opinion) etc. I am sure you have these freerolls to attract new members. So I have to ask this, why would anyone stick around if the regular members are hostile and unwelcoming?

I hope I'm wrong and this was just one bad apple or just somebody having a real bad day. But I can't say I'm too hopeful. The initial reception had certainly soured me on what looked to be an interesting site.
I have agree with you, I am fairly new here also, and something like that would have made me feel not so welcome and not too eager to come back. But if you take the time to browse around the sight I think you will find yourself feeling more like you have joined a family rather than a forum. I too am usually very quiet, but have really enjoyed being here and being a part of such a great place. I hope you give it a chance because I believe you will find first impressions are not always correct. Good luck! and I hope to see you back and posting and playing at the tables.
