> It's why many ppl here lament the HN of several years ago I guess you can say that about any community which allows new people, and you can even keep saying it every year. I used to be (and I guess still am?) a member of a Turkish web site called "Ekşi Sözlük"[1], which used to (and maybe still does) mark your account with a generation flag which anyone could see. I remember discussions about Xth generation people being so not receptive of the community values and such... Just as in real life which happens with the birth years. I guess this behavior has a name but I don't know what to search for. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ek%C5%9Fi_S%C3%B6zl%C3%BCk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ek%C5%9Fi_S%C3%B6zl%C3%BCk
