@Jaunt To toss in my own two cents once more... I understand that you've dipped a few toes into the WORA/MSB pool here and there. But that doesn't mean that you -know- us. Nearly everyone here has been rubbing elbows with one another pretty consistently for years. We've played with each other on games, poked at each other on the forums, shared ideas and thoughts and opinions. And I'm fairly confident in stating that the vast majority of us have, at some point, gone full retard on either WORA or MSB and still managed to come out on the other side intact. I'm not suggesting you be a robotic loudspeaker broadcasting the latest trends and updates for OR. I'm suggesting that you take the time and effort to really become part of the community. Learn about the people here. We have threads all over the place dedicated almost solely to sharing stuff we like or find awesome or hate or peeve on. We all had to, over time, pick up on the cues and tics of the community. That's sort of where you're at. You've lurked around here and there, you've made a couple posts, but you're still sitting at the fringes. Plenty of veterans of the community have gotten off to a bad start and had to work their way back up the ladder. The real question is whether you're willing to invest that kind of time and effort. Oh, and whether or not you can grow a thick skin. That's one thing that's pretty much a requirement around here. We snark. We flame. We yell and curse and argue. And then we generally find a common ground and move on until the next time.
None of this will happen overnight, or even in a week or two. But over time you'll find yourself just sort of... integrating into the community. Find other topics in other threads to branch out into. I realize that you and Jeshin and.. crayon (I think that's the third guy?) are all kinds of excited about your site... but if that's the ONLY thing you ever talk about eventually it'll get boring to people. We have geeks and nerds of every flavor here, chances are good you can find other threads that interest you. And other people that share those interests. At the end of the day, if you want to integrate, you can't just be 'that OR guy who only ever talks about OR'. Go forth, share your interests, connect, and leave OR/PR in this thread. I think you'll find that people here are pretty forgiving when you seem more like a person and less like an adbot. We've got coders, gamers, music-lovers, tv show followers, lawyers (hi @Ganymede!), parents, techs, and everything in between. Find some of that common ground!
