(February 14, 2015 at 9:56 pm)SteelCurtain Wrote: It strikes me as especially poignant that the first couple of posts really drive whether people stay here or not. If they join and try to make a joke that doesn't go over, or if they don't realize that they should really make an intro post and start chiming in and get a cold response, or if they think they have a novel idea and will go toss it to the atheist horde only to find out we've heard it a thousand times.

I feel like you really just need a strong personality to survive the initial onslaught.

I don't know how true it is, but I remember reading that well over 90% of a forum's members never post once. I think a lot of people are a little gunshy because of the rough-and-tumble forum posting can be.

Also, my first post: http://atheistforums.org/thread-9074-pos...#pid202784

First kudos were from Stimbo and SummerQueen: http://atheistforums.org/thread-9242-pos...#pid202788
