they could at least have selected members of the forum who actually were members to begin with, i can imagine only a few of the veteran members were selected
Yeah, I only know of two, But that doesn't mean there aren't more. A mod said there were 15 new members out of the 40 that were in the forum beta last night, which would mean a few more long term members got in, but thats still a high percent of new people.
Also, im not saying all new people are bad or anything stupid like that, just that it's been pretty obvious over the last week and a bit that many of these new members have signed up only for the beta and won't be heard from again once A) they havent got in, or B ) the beta is finished with.
