If it's about the whole community, I do think that there has been some circling the wagons, but as I said elsewhere, I think it's growing pains. All in all, most of the new members *have* been able to integrate themselves just fine.
We call ourselves a community. We behave like one. Which means that there are *people* here, not just faceless monikers, and there are some basic rules of polite interaction that have guided our behavior. I'd prefer to not see that change.

Here, here.
I wouldn't also feel comfortable plunking myself down in Bitches and posting like I've been there all along. I'd want to lurk first and get to know the lay of the land before I posted, even though I know most of the people who post there.

Giles: "Yes, I understand, but it's imperative that I see her. Here. (listens) Well... when will you? (listens) Yeah, well, you are her Watcher. I'd expect her to at least check in to... (listens) Yes, I'm aware that there's a great deal of demonic activity in Cleveland."
