Not in the way of content, but in the phrasing. Since all the regulars know eachother for a long time, the conversations tend to be more "Friends talking" than "Random guys touching a common topic on a public place". I try to at least start conversations with new users whenever I can. More users should try to take the iniciative on that one. And b), as @thatonestocking<\/span><\/a><\/span> said, people are usually confused as to what they should do, as evidenced by the posts by most newponies lacking context or not being adressed at any user."}
