I feel as though people were more friendly back when I first joined, but probably not - I probably just got on the nerves of some people and it just feels that way. There's always going to be super friendly people on this forum. Except now, instead of The Captain, we have Jiro.

There's also a difference because when I first joined, I got in really fast with the BAoTW folks and it made me feel like I had a huge group of friends to talk to right away. Nowadays, I only talk very often to a few people. xD

I think the main difference is that I feel like I know pretty much everyone and can talk to pretty much any member now, as opposed to back in the first years when I thought Del Murder and ShlupQuack were the most intimidating people on the face of the earth, when I was nubbin' it up hard.

It's about the same nowadays, though.
