Not everything...
Actually, lots of things don't sound cool.
Oh, and thanks for calling me a kid, I like to be youthful, and wish I was still young. Nostalgic memories of my childhood days have now begun...
Edit: Just re-read that and wow, that was somewhat poetic, unintentionallly.

I don't think every new member gets roasted, just the ones who make excessive noise. When you post the same thing in multiple threads (i.e. Gold Track) it sort of gets tiresome. I'm all for sharing the excitement for the park and welcoming those who are new to this, but when they've been told repeatedly to settle down and don't heed the advice, that's when they start to get roasted.
For the most part the posters self moderate. The admins don't have an axe to grind, despite what people may think, but on the rare occasion they need to take action just to cut down on noise.
I think for all the noise that CPFLYIN has made, he's pretty fortunate that he's still a poster here. There are other forums I post on that are much less tolerating of it, or have a 'ignore x user' feature so that I can just ignore them. Unfortunately this forum doesn't have that feature, but I have a pretty long fuse. Others around here don't.
I believe the topic may still be live on there. It's called "the beast needs to be updated" or something like that. I just suggested it could use millennium fliers, no trims, and a possible dip instead of the long shed thing. I am no longer able to post on there now.

^There usually isn't over there, actually.
People were banned because some people liked Intamin rides more than others, sometimes with logical reasons, and started a flame war between enthusiasts. Subsequent users were banned.
Hell I had a disagreement with the D. Helbig and got banned originally lmao...it's whatever though.

Yeah, jackassery is really the only thing we bounce people for. You can have wrong opinions, and it's OK.
The new guy in this case doesn't understand that you don't show up at a party full of strangers and try to be the life of the party. You hang out for awhile, get to know the room, and then slowly integrate into the scene.
