Following on from another thread which mentioned the forum clique, I thought it was time for my confession 
I haven't been on this site for very long, approx 4 months and the 1st place I began to visit, was these here forums, albeit just to read.
1st thing I thought was there is a clique! But as I have become to spend more time here and occasionally posting or replying and got to notice the regulars and their sense of humours and personalities, I quickly realised how wrong I was in assuming there was a clique, when in fact its a bunch of regular posters, whom a lot have been here a long time and have had the opportunity to meet each other too.
I'm not the best at getting my point across/explaining things, so hope this makes sense and I hold my hands up and admit I was wrong. 
Happy posting, old and new forumites  |

Not the best at getting your point across...? Oh come now...... !! Lol!
And agree with all you have said - got the same impression, but if you throw yourself in at the deep end and get to learn what's going on (as best you can) you find that many of the regular posters are extremely nice people who are prepared to offer help and guidance 'in the background' which they don't brag about in the forums.

It's just school and starting later in the term than the others. Some will jump in with confidence and others will hold back until they feel comfortable. There will be 'gangs' you want to join and those you really want not to notice you. And whether you are the confident one or not there will always be a moment when you think how do I get in? |

The same as I was at school, or uni, or work - I just plodded along in my own little world, quite happy to be on my own and mind my own business.
Peeps tend to ask me to join them rather than the other way round.  |

being wrong is part of being human.
those that can accept we all make mistakes are the better ones.
however i have been here on and off for a while now and you do learn something new now and then.
this is part of life. everyone's experiences are different and unique to them.
often shared on the forum because people think,act and do differently.
doesnt matter if your new or old.the forum provides teachings for all.
sometimes upsetting and another will be amusing.
the thing to keep in mind is that the person posting may not be always serious and this is the hard thing because you are unable to see that person's mood or behaviour.
but in all the forum is a good place and that includes you.
so keep posting and enjoying.

Although I've been on the site quite a few months I've just recently dipped my toe in the forums, I'm very sarcastic and sometimes feel I would upset the folks who are regulars and well established posters, I keep slipping the odd one in n cross my fingers. |

I think you have been careful in what you have posted |

Everyone is entitled to his/her views and opinions, and that applies to newbies as well as the old timers.
I don't like it when peeps come across as holier than thou, and what he/she says must be right etc...
And that too applies to old timers as well as newbies.

Well one 24 hour ban is more than enough for me
Well I have only had one 24 hour ban so far  |

of course ive been banned a few times.
i know a lot of people dont like me so look to click the report button when i give them the bullet.
but you know i dont feel anything towards them but pity.
if reporting me makes them feel bigger and better then i feel so sorry thats all they have to do with their day.
but in general this forum and a few others i visit are ok.
i look mainly to learn from people on here, some of the woman are intelligent and it is these i take most from.
only way to know what a woman likes is to listen to a good one. |

I've had a few threads pulled or closed, mainly cos I moaned about certain indviduals so I agree with them. I have been sent to the naughty step and quite rightly so.
Yes, on occasions I feel some get away with stuff but I guess it is all down to the mods n other users knowing what someone s like. (This isnt a mod bashing post btw!)
I disagree with an extensive clique but agree some posters are known better than others (if that makes sense) |
