Some suggestions for both sides:

Flat4: change the day of your meet so everyone can go to both meets, or choose which one they want to go to if they don't wanna go to both. I feel like that is where a lot of the hostility comes from.

SECCS: don't ignore people you've never met before at the meets. You know you don't know each other, so take a second to introduce yourselves. Although it may not seem like it to you, for someone who's never been to a meet before, it seems like the noob gets the cold shoulder, while you guys huddle together in your own tight little group. You guys, being the established members, have all the cards in your hands, and it's hard for new people to force themselves in there to try to mingle, and often won't try.

No one should take this as a personal attack, just constructive criticism from someone who doesn't really belong to either group, but is a member on both forums.
