>frown upon or treated like ...way too harshly and unwelcoming

I didn't do that initially, I was posting over here, but was given the recommendation to make a new thread to interact as the thread I was using wasn't suitable apparently

I think a lot of that negative standing on introductions and name using stemmed from power mods on 4chan as names were common until /mlp/.

>motivation
I like meeting new people in the community, always have.
Someone I've known for like, 8 or 9 years now mentoined this place to me so I figured I'd come over and say hi as a result. pure curiosity really.

I typically post on the /b/read on 4chan, though I've taken a rbeak the last week or two.

>name
No, that isn't me. My full 'name' is Raptor Baptist, but for obvious reasons no one, not even myself really use th elast part of it.
