this isn't the case at all. if anything, i think it's the old ones that are driving themselves away. there are some longstanding problems that go deeper than a lot of us know. heck, i'm still trying to pry bits and pieces together of what exactly has gone on...and i'm the one that wanted to be Batman when i was a kid...not because he could kick butt, but because he was the world's greatest detective (and i thought it'd be cool to be friends with Superman). but seriously, us newer folk are not the main cause of this...and no one should think that. every person in here is just as important as any one else, even if not everyone realizes that. let's face it, i've only been here since July...there are times i think the ONLY reason i get any respect is because i've got over 1000 posts. the board is elitist, no denying it. but as some of the folks that are leaving begin to fall away, hopefully that'll pave the way for some of that elitism to disappear. i'm not suggesting that ANYONE leave, but i'm just saying that it's not the end of the world if some do.
i know i'm not leaving...
