well, have you asked any of them? Obviously my pov is skewed from being here so long but I dont think it is _that_ bad being here, compared to being a new member in any other community, every community has its cliques and every clique has its in jokes and whatnot (be it on the internet or real life)

I like it how it is.

if mx as a community was much bigger, sure but i think that would kill the forum at its current size

you need to get some mods who arent faggots and who will just ban the culprits and their 2nd account, and who wont give any leeway once the trouble makers go to instant messengers, this has been the fundamental problem since the days of plexi, all the mods were too soft and gave people another chance and then another chance.
if you just give the mods the responsibilities to stick by their decisions and ban on sight then sure they will keep circumventing the bans but eventually they will get bored and go cause trouble somewhere else
its really dead simple yet never been done.

no the site forum is just a place to give trouble makers leeway into negotiating another chance
