A buddy of mine remarked that, to him, the Sharty is the only image board that actively wants new people (less "go back lurkmoar" culture than other sites)
How we reconcile the two great forces, normies watering down memes, and the desire for new ideas and fresh blood, will be what defines the future of the Sharty
We should not fall for the sweet lies of the extremes, lest we end up with the dead, safe meaninglessness of pepe and modern 4cuck, or the fringe circlejerking of places like mootxico
