My final note on why I'm taking most of my "OT" conversation to a new home ...

I didn't even like the counting thread. But I never felt unwelcome in there.

Yeah TCT was a different place altogether. It was open to anyone and we wanted new people to join all the time. Dukie was New Guy cause I think Heywoode called him New Guy first and Dukie liked being called New Guy.

I can see it being a clique from the outside but being one of the members on the inside we LOVED having new people join in that is why me and sweabs used to post in every new member posts when they used to have to do that stupid thread to introduce themselves and we would try to make them feel welcome, get them to join in the counting fun, meet people that way and get some posts up.
