MSOS is only good to the "in" crowd. Newbies that come in seem to go through an 'initiation' phase where they get attacked by the "in" crowed -- if that doesn't happen, they don't take you seriously. The poor new people don't know any better so they either sink to the "in" crowd level or they leave (either by infractions or they decide to leave after being attacked). There are a few wonderful ladies on the board, but they don't post very often so finding them is hard.
