I understand your position, and I agree there are SOME MEMBERS of chat who do prod newbies a little too much. That's what the song is for .

Still, there are those of us who welcome anyone into chat, and while we do tease them about their nicks, we usually let them know we're just kidding around. I can't think of any newbies I've recently talked to in chat that have been outright degraded for their very existence. When I was a newbie in chat, that never happened to me. No ONE is excluded. Like in any situation, it obviously takes a new person time to warm up to the group, and vice versa. In chat, many of us attempt to ease that awkwardness with a poke and a prod, and we either make that very obvious, or we outright tell you. I don't claim to speak for everyone in chat all the time, because there are some grouchy butts. I do claim to speak in the spirit of what I have found chat to be, and what I feel it should be, another type of communication to bring the members of the forums together, and to introduce both old and new a like. The inherent nature of chat is that of fun. This party feels that chat has lost some of that flavor, and want the members of the forum, past, present and future, old and new, to come around and support another important faction of our community. The song is meant to be a light hearted introduction to that. If it fails in that aspect, I'll re-write it.

Poophead. :coolnakedgreeniepanda:
