It is funny though. Every new person is another competator. Do we really want to encourage more people to join the forums? The answer, of course, is no.

I think this is less about competition and more about the inevitable growth dynamics of message board communities. A small group that is looking to define itself and recruit more good members is going to treat newbies differently from a group that has grown too large to function and is in danger of drowning in noise.
