> hanging around

You make them sound like junkyard dogs :)

Edit: Added smiley face to show I was merely amused by the phrasing.

Bit harsh wording wise, but yeah I totally agree that’s a rough description of a community that made something neat.
Is this a generational disconnect? I have no negative connotations of the phrase "hanging around" (currently in college). Just curious.
Perhaps, I’m 30 if that helps.

In _this_ context it sounded very derogatory, as if they had nothing better to do and were just doing something likely useless or some such.
