The last real one was Weapon, and he didn't last long.

I had somebody try join probably like 2 years back but never went through or some shit. They tried registering and never had it confirmed? I don't think many people find this site either when they are searching.

My buddy joined literally 2 days ago.

The last time I had a personal friend join, he was (is still) literally laughed off the board.

The majority here aren't a very welcoming bunch. They don't appreciate new players on their turf

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

That's what happens every time. People flip out and go into attack mode, accuse them of being an alt. This why can't have nice things.

Maybe because it's probably going to have to be by word of mouth...

It's actually a pretty good vetting process. If you can't handle the hazing rituals, you shouldn't be let into the fraternity. GTFO!

And I say that from the perspective of one of the newest members of this motley crew. I only started posting on ESPN about 6-8 months before it shut down. I'm probably the newest "regular" we have here.

I think you alluded to it the other day. I know a few people with non-PC humor who would probably enjoy this board, but several posters are so far off the deep end with the racial stuff that you have to think it's not just for show and they genuinely do feel that way. We'd probably have to tone the craziness down to robust ESPN-era levels to be more inviting to a general audience (but still allow the cussing), but that ain't happening anytime soon.

Isn't it all former espn posters here? Seems like that population number is finite.
