The popular ones do have some "pull", the ignored ones leave thus leaving some wondering "Where has everyone gone?", and the newbies feel left out and clueless to the inside jokes.

Oh no! The insecurities are setting in!
Am I popular? Are my post good enough? Am I funny & interesting?
Am I a newbie because Leslie AGD has almost 6000 post? Or because I don't get Tom Earp half the time?
It is a repeat of high school
Just joking.
Seriously, this board is still interesting. I sometimes get nervous posting threads because I see so many people respond with "there is already a thread on this". That is kind of annoying. But I came here for information. And I like the posters, so I stuck around. And if I am ignored, I probably won't leave. I think most people stay on gc because they find the kinship stimulating, I don't think most people leave because they are ignored. Some folks have bonded over their time on GC. I don't see that relationship as them ignoring me. They don't know me yet.
