It seems to me, even though I am still a pretty new member, that the newer guys are usually the ones that post pointless or repetitive threads.
In my opinion, this is because they want to be noticed, feel important, I don't know. This usually ends up with extremely redundant threads. I remember when I first joined, I didnt start any new threads because I didn't want to do something stupid, and I was aware that there were a ton of Bungie fans who have probably covered all the topics I could think of at the time.
There has to be some thing that the newer guys can do besides spamming, like be encouraged to use the "Introduce Yourself" thread.
Well, I don't know, I just had to rant.

some chapters are specifically( can't spell) for a special area. Other chapters have no borders and are open for everyone. Some chapters do indeed organise LAN parties, others do not.
