Can further confirm that the time you join has basically no impact on your ability to connect with people here.
I talk here regularly to people who have been here for ages like Shoey and Perch, people who were getting back into the community a few years before I came in like Rose, folks who were there right about the same time as me like Koops and SGoW, and folks who joined in on the fun in, like, the last year like WT.
I talk to people like Nabber who have been here for years and people like LJS who came after me.
It's really all about getting involved and taking the time to get into activities and, outside of those activities as well, to talk to people and strike up conversations.

my best bud on these boards is pitohui and he basically didn't exist until the start of 2018
it's all in terms of making effort to actually know people and talk to them rather than being put off by existing connections
