The whole point of this post was originally to try to light a fire under the ass of the newer guys to maybe DO something. The topic got spun and twisted, but that was the original intent.
BR brought up the "come be social with us" bullet point for the most obvious reason: it worked for us, and it can work for you.
You MIGHT not need social connections through this forum and this skill, but it's a tool that WILL work for you...since...ya know...this is all about improving your social skills. If you can HONESTLY make improvements WITHOUT socially mingling with this community, more power to you. I'll wager that 80% of you cannot. Make all the excuses you want, but we see through them and were just trying to help YOU.
Another thing that I'd like to address is that 99.9% of people on this forum who can offer assistance in your journey to a better you won't go way out of their way to help someone they don't know. If you think we're gonna vomit all the crap we've learned over however long we've been doing this to a complete stranger who could be using it to game 5th graders off a playground or something...well...just won't happen without _something_ else being behind it.
Take from this what you will.
