I hate to say it, but things arent always pretty on the okayboards... After having only been a passive observer (and thus some of the fault is mine) for a long time, i now feel compelled after reading these messages to respond. I feel like the okayboards are becoming some sort of closed society where new members are not welcomed with open arms, but where they are put through a series of tests to see if they are "worthy" of membership as if this was some wack ass college fraternity. Is it not enough that 1) they checked out the site? 2) mustered up the courage to post (cause trust me, Quest can post some scalding messages!) If thats how it is, then thats how it is... i just hope the site is for everyone, including the kid who just picked up his first roots CD last week and has yet to blessed by the old shiii...
