There's a point to where you can change things and then there's the point where you see that you can't change it and don't try before you end up making a fool of yourself. This community has a few members that would flame others for posting one thing that seems wrong. It's discouraging. Other members in Bera HS have told me that they don't want to post here because they fear getting flamed or insulted. I don't want to force people to post but I do try to encourage people into it. It's not like I want this forum to die. I love HiddenStreet with all of my heart. Truly though, it's give and take. If you want more good members you need to be more open, accepting, and not intimidating. Give new members a chance to grow into it. This stuff doesn't happen right away. It's not like everyone knows your little memes or whatever. People misinterpret things on the internet pretty easily.
Before you go to anything saying it's their responsibility to become part of the community since they rally under the name HiddenStreet, it's also the responsibility of everyone in this forum to make HiddenStreet a thread that people can move into easily and grow to love. I avoided this forum so much and only stayed in the Orbis Station and truly adapting to you guys was difficult. You all had your own little jokes and it was hard trying to learn about all of that but after a while I can sort of feel like a part of the forum. I'm still taking my time moving in to this community fully. Rushing into what this forum is now is like trying to jump over a 100 foot pit of fire.
