I just wish there was more variety of tastes, views and opinions in the forum.

We have LOTS of members, so WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?
I am new, but I didn't necessarily join for the Reboot. However, the reason I'm not that active here is precisely what you stated in bold. Plus, when there is a discussion that I could've put my two cents into, I find it usually agrees with at least one other person and I don't like adding a reply that is just a copy/paste of so many others in the same thread.

As for my own grinded gears: "Love the Way You Lie" by Rihanna. It's becoming so overplayed in my house because of a certain Damages Promo that won't go away.

I post all over GC, Arts and Entertainment, Videogames Section, and Tomb Raider (2012).

Get to know me and in turn, you can relate to me ;__;

I put that in bold because I feel the same. I registered a few years ago but I'll be honest, I've only now taken an interest in seeing what people talk about in the areas that aren't about TR. The thing is... I really don't feel like going HEY HERE'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS, GUYS, so lurking around seems to be the best option.

I'm interested in seeing what people talk about in that strangely restricted 18+ forum (seriously, why is it restricted? these kids are on the internet anyway), but at this rate, I'll reach the minimum 100 posts required to use it in 2014.

That parenthesis grinds my gears, there you go.

SEE this is what I'm talking about.

Seeing new members saying these things makes me wonder just how awful the General section is becoming. This is supposed to be a place for EVERYONE and EVERYTHING, not just some sort of exclusive club.

But the only way to change it is to have more people posting more often, else it will only get worst. :/

Why the present tense? It's been this way for awhile now.

I suppose this supports some truth to the 'TRF cliques' regardless of how insistent some may be in denyng that... and unsuprisingly, the ones who are most vocal in that denial are the very same members who could be said to be a part of said cliques.

I agree, more active peeps who want to (but might otherwise shy away from) share their opinions please.

I'm adding my two cents to this discussion.. the reason I don't post more is because every thread visited seems like every member is discussing things they're already discussed in private and Open Chat is more of "public" but private place where conversations take place, and I feel odd. Like I don't belong here, but posting a new thread seems to get buried under pointless others so I don't even try.

Yea, I understand and agree with this but probably for different reasons than yourself. With me it's more to do with the general age difference and not having much in common with the majority of TRF's members.
