I have heard from several people (who shall remain anonymous) that the members who have been around longer feel different on some decisions than the newer members. Is this true? Do you believe that sides usually consist of New Members vs. Old Members in forum decisions?

Members seem to come in generations.
There's the really old generation, say pre Jan 2004.
Then there's the later old generation, say my ilk (Jan. 2004 - Jul. 2004 server crash)
Then there's the summer 2004 generation (server crash - Oct. 2004 [Yoshi left 1st time])
Then there's the new mainstay generation (Oct. 2004 - Yoshi's return in, what? Jan. 2005)
Then there's the older newbies (Feb. 2005 - Jul. 2005)
Then there's the totally new members (Jul. 2005 forward).
Non-active posters don't count.

Second Generation member here - June '04
I don't mind the new members unless they have flame wars, which have died down for the moment.
I think the older members have felt a bit swamped recently though - our numbers have been declining while the numbers of new regular members has increased steadily. I guess a feeling of isolation in a sea of new faces occasionally creeps in to some of our thoughts.

Ah crap? I have no generation! I was born during the server crash!
Server crash was from June 25, 2004 to July 15, 2004. All data from June 15 to June 25 was lost. I had created my account on June 20, 2004 but had to re-create it on July 15, 2004. Same with CheeZe.
I guess it's second generation anyways...
Back on topic. Yes Kame, I'm one of the memebrs that feels that way. Back in 2004 I felt like if everybody knew everybody. Even when I was made Staff in October 2004, when IP first came to the scene, I still felt like if I knew everbody. It was until Yoshi's return in Jan 2005 that brought a wave of new people in that I started to feel that the good old days of the white and blue SeNv3 were gone. Since that time, more and more of the old members have retired, like Shadow_Paladin, qPirateKing, Ent, Dabbu, SpaceBoy and a few others that don't come to my mind right now. Since this time, I've been feeling like if we old members are getting more and more left out of the main community and we sort of are setting up our own, smaller community within the big one. (That's one of the reasons why the High Templar forum was created).
Today I have a lot of people going like: "Hey beer, how's it going?", and I try to speak to them but this statement always passes through my mins: "Who are you?".
And regarding forum desicions, yes we do tend to see a change in opinions. We older members tend to be more conservative and efficient. The newer generations tend to work more towards appearance and complexity.

Hmmm... I joined in June of 2005, but I didn't actually start posting until the end of July. I guess that makes me a newbie newbie. I've been around long enough to see some change.
There's definitely a difference. I agree with Beer on the whole conservative/efficient vs. complexity. Older members are like crocodiles and turtles in that they have stood the test of time from evolution (bear with me on the analogy). While the newer mammals may be flashier, quicker, and hyperactive, the old reptiles know how to survive against all types of species and will bite the hell out of you if you get in their way.

I've been here since June 2004... and I agree with Keg_beer. Too many things happened and many good friend of mine left. anyway, I don't see many difference between new members and Old Members. Most of the older Members are more mature than newer people. But the Huge difference is that the older Know more about SEN and what happened. How I can say ... SEN Became a big family for older.. So it's always sad to see someone leaving the community.
I can't express my self much, lack of word, but maybe you understand what I mean.

I'm older than Devilesk! I vaguely remember the server crash, I think I joined right before it occured. I wasn't very active until later, though. Politically, I see no difference in opinions, but when it comes to site matters, I see a huge difference (as previously stated)
