Tigerocker,
This is a relatively small MB. The posters that post here are regulars, some of them don't take kindly to strangers. Of the regulars, you will see groups based on team affiliation, UK, Duke, and UNC being the larger blocks.
You seem like a nice poster and i know from experience Bert is a nice poster, but he is a UK fan and if you (an unknown, non UK) mentions UK, it is like swatting a hornets nest. They will all rise out of their hive with their little blue stingers ready to deal with the threat. The best way to deal with them is to shoot them (verbally) and don't bring a six gun, bring a full auto and make sure you have a large magazine.
Welcome to the board and have fun. Btw, if you find yourself dealing with Duke fans, be sure to bring plenty of KenPom, that is this only food they eat.
