OT is full of intellectual people and is also full of pretentious snobs, I'd rather feel a bit restricted all the time.

I still don't, OT is a cold, dark, and lonely place.

Define your definiton of home...

If the question is how long did it take for me to be comfortable with posting in OT? Right away...

If the question is how long did it take for me to become a respected member of the community? Still not...

Hell no. Some users have been known to break 10,000 in a single month.....though they are a very rare breed of poster.

I took me a few months. At first I felt as if being a new user made some of the veterans think less of my opinion or something. After a while though I got over that and I started to recognize the more active users and see the patterns most threads take.

Once I learned that most arguments here boiled down to pointing out each other's generalizations and subjective arguments instead of actually addressing the obvious point someone was trying to make I stopped taking it so seriously. Then I fit right in.

I still close the door when I use the restroom so that must mean it doesn't feel like home yet.

Yeah, I've seen that kind on other forums. They basically post in every post they see, even when it doesn't interest them. :P No way I'll do that.

My first post was pretty much a game changer for this board and every subsequent post was a blessing to you all, so the question of "feeling at home" is not even one I can answer. For all intents and purposes, I am OT.

Yeah, indeed. I was here 5 years ago. Then I went to Medical School. Now that I'm a doctor, the only game I've played in months is "Doctor Mario"- although I must say, it's quite the game.

About a week the topics posted are different compared to other forums I've posted on where topics were mostly spam and rhetorical.

OT is the dumpster outside my home. I throw my daily trash there.
