This is maybe slightly off-topic, still I feel a certain need to add to this discussion, so here I go.
I'm a quiet person, that feels uneasy around people, especially if it's a whole lot of people, that I don't even know. I don't connect easily to others and I will therefore never feel really "at home" in a place that has many members. When there are events I join TS, but I don't communicate with other people - there are commanders that tell people what needs to be done, and socialising often gets into the way of the event, or at least that's how I perceive it.
So why do I write this in this thread?
I got into OC because they were organising events (simply put), but in the way it worked then, it didn't achieve it's stated goal (for me): it did not provide me with an environment that was friendly and inclusive, I felt as a stranger - I was a stranger and still am.

If OC wants to change that, than I'm all for it!
