Saffrin Elitists!
Iunno. You people keep saying you need to do stuff with the "Oldbies", but what about the Newbies who want to participate in something that's not a Tektek-like thread?
Sadly a lot of ATers move in their own circles, and when people leave, the circles just get smaller. You need a way to happily welcome and include any Newbies that are willing to join in the way that you want. I think newer people often see the term oldbie or elite as a way of them being excluded from the AT, when it's just a term of saying someone who has made the AT their home for a long time.
Of course we want to welcome new people in, what fun would it be without the passing of knowledge. Candycrack use to run an adopt-a-newbie program which we all loved.
I think when people say they want the AT the old way, it's not that we don't want new ATers, we just want a more community/family feel like it use to have. Before tek-tek and the avatar arena, newbies use to be a little more open to the idea of someone helping them and rating them (I'm not going to say all of them because there have always been n00bs), now that "ratings" take place in the arena (on what scale those people are operating on sometimes hurts my head) and that tektek allows them to have any item they want, there is a sense that ATers opinions don't matter even though they are being requested.
I think the tektek dumbed down alot of new people coming to the AT, because they can create whatever with all the items and not learn that feeling of having to slowly work towards an avatar. I personally would like to see more Avatars that feel like their owners put more thought into them then 5 minutes.
There are alot of cool new ATers I have gotten to hang with since I returned that remind me of Old School AT in style and personality, the shame is it's hard to sort through the mountain of crap threads to find them.
