Well let me tell you about my experience since registering here. I love Bully but a person can only talk about it so many times. Eventually it gets old as does speculating about a sequel that may never be made. I considered leaving once I had hit the point of Bully saturation. (It also didn't help that I acted like an idiot and insulted two established members of the community early on; thankfully both of them very graciously accepted my apologies)
So my reason for staying was I started to get to know and like you people, and now consider you as my friends. Its as simple as that. So I guess my point is that there's no way to predict what a newbie will do. All we can do is what we're doing right now and that is being as courteous and welcoming as we can. The rest is up to the individual.
