For the casual user is often hard to get into GC because its hard to get into "the know" and get over the initial feeling of being an outsider on the board. For example, I see junior members post new threads and older users immediately post links tersely saying this was discussed already with the link. And while this is being done to be helpful for the "unitiated" this comes of as kind of harsh when they are unfamiliar with gc etiquette. Inside jokes or references on the general board when a new gc'er has posted asking for advice can also make feel new gc'ers feel excluded or unwelcomed
Please don't take this as an attack on GC or the more active members. My experience with GC has always been very enjoyable. Just keep in mind (particular outside of the chit chat on the general boards) that many readers may not be very familar with greek chat. Pay attention to users post counts when you're respond to their posts, they're there for a reason.
