Because any interesting new posters are immediately banned.

Perhaps they take as role models, some of the less newer posters. Perhaps it is projection. Perhaps a double standard is being applied here. Perhaps the perception is highly subjective, and in the eye of the beholder. Beats me. Perhaps he only thing that is clearly true about all of this, is what oakvale said above. Folks have feelings you know.

I usually consider anyone under 1000 posts as "new," and then 1000 to 10,000 as regulars, and 10,000+ posters as "senior posters"

If it makes you feel better you're one of the exceptions I had in mind (along with SWE and a few others)

We've actually had a recent batch of posters that seem quite promising (Türkisblau, New Canadaland and Tara Gilesbie come to mind).

If someone has under 1000 posts it's hard to squeeze out a personality out of their postings, especially if they aren't bombastic and don't divulge their personal lives. That would make me one of the newbies Snow finds dull. It also doesn't help that my beliefs are so mainstream for Atlas that I might as well be part of the liberal hive mind.

For the same reason that all Seinfeld episodes were so boring and lame by around 1996.

Also, a map:

I hope you all don't consider me too boring and lame. 

I admit, apart from my skewering of Bushie, I've been pretty pedestrian thus far.

I don't know Gabe, you've been pretty predictable as of late. Me thinks its time for an ideology change!

Communism is supposed to be nice and welcoming isn't it? Aren't we all meant to be treated the same?

When I look back on the early post histories of certain long time posters, they were certainly a lot more boring and lame when they first joined than they are now.

People who are interested in politics tend to be boring and lame.

Because many newer posters who show the least bit of personality are hounded off the forum by pretentious know it all's, who think they are somehow special just for having stuck around a while.
