You could have at least waited to see if he posted pics of his hot wife/gf. Now you’ll just have to used the old National Geographic with the pages stuck together in your bathroom.

I’m with this guy. Jumping on a new guy isn’t hazing if they don’t understand the context. Appreciate the vigilance in vetting new members, but let’s not just try to keep it a small group just for the sake of “no change”. Everyone was a new member here at some point.

When I first joined, the old dudes here were very welcoming first. The hazing came later. And after that, strong connections (not literal, physical connections).

Tough crowd. Now how many here have double posted due to a malfunction of this forum I cant count how many times that has happened to me and still does now I will post and it will just go into slow mode for about 20 seconds before it post on the forum. So before I waited I doubled posted a lot. Give this guy a brake. And well come to the forum don't let a few hard asses scare you away. They were tough on me and some times still are. That malfunction of the forum not power posting just wish they would fix it. To this day I get hazed for my grammar :banghead:

Point taken. We were a little harsh. I am concerned that you’ve been in my bathroom, though.

I think it’s all done in jest, without malicious intent. I do understand that some (normal) humans may be intimidated.

Buddy was power posting, but at the same time, there seems to be the same sentiment from the same folks over and over. Which seems to go beyond just pointing out that they did something dumb.

:shrug:

Ed: Life's not all black and white, maybe there's a middle ground.

Dave: There's definitely a swing to being butthurt, and maybe those folks never would have contributed anything useful in their lives. Having said that, with some regulars drifting off, things here have slowed down and it'd be unfortunate to drive people away who could actually turn out to be decent. Maybe we could give them just a bit more rope to let them hang themselves with? :)

Does that refer to Wookie Connection, his moms basement, or my role as pivot man?

Hey Iluvettes3, wait, don't go.

Think the guys were just having some fun, and showing
you a different side of the watch world like you said you
were looking for in your introduction. :thumbsup:

Seriously, you will love it here. Welcome !

Yep, tough crowd. I love DWC, but we really could be a bit more welcoming these days.

Actually I did read Brice's last post and it inspired me...my wife shares in DWC's sick sense of humor


Now the kids part...well I dont think they would be embarrassed, but just not old enough to read any of this...

This poor guy probably made a typo when creating his post. Instead of giving him the benefit of the doubt, he gets bashed and insulted. What's embarrassing is how he was treated as a new member. The comments of a few make us all look unwelcoming.
