Thank you David for clarifying this post, because it absolutely confused me.
I am not a member at this other forum, but I think it is sad that people migrate to other forums just to make trouble/ or to annoy. If that is what you meant, by that blues. This really didn't make much sense.
Now, however, since I'm not a member there, they could be good upstanding people, and if that's the case, then I really dont see a problem. The announcing of their arrival seems to give off the negative vibe though. It seems almost like a "warning" to all of us that are here. And if that was the intent, then it didn't really scare me, sorry.
This forum, like many others is free to join, so if they want to, they can join. I just hope that these people that of which you speak, aren't the type that has nothing better to do than to ruin a good forum. I've seen that done on the site I admin for. (THIS IS ONE REASON I DON'T give my site's link out to everyone.
)
And such as that, we had to put in place a sign up requirement. You either can donate $5, write an essay why you want to be a member, or be sponsored in. We only have one free day, in which we compare everyone that joins to the bad user information, so that we can avoid people that are basically as others say, "Trolls".
If they do not fit that description, then the more the merrier, and welcome to the forum.
Maybe it's just the way this is written that makes me kind of leery.
