Chat Room Cliques
Jump to: Newest in thread
I have not been into the chat room on here for quite some time but a couple of friends said I should go in as it was alot of fun.
I went in the General Chat room today and found it to be quite exclusive and hostile towards new male chatters. I expected to find a jolly room with banter and a nice friendly atmosphere but instead I found I was most definitely not welcome.
I wondered if anyone else had experienced the same type of exclusion or if I was just unlucky to go in at lunchtime when people may have been crazed with hunger and so came across as hostile.  |

It's not about keeping up with typing for me, more keeping up with reading, you always have to pay attention... whereas in the forum you can go and find whatever was said later on. |

I have to agree that the Genral room is a bit cliquey, though lobby and (particularly wales) are lovely (kitts ) I have had more meets out of the chat room than by mail, so that says something.
The chat rooms are often filled with blokes without cams, or when they do have a cam it's a 'cock cam' or as was said, making sychophantic comments to the ladies. So the girls don't take any notice of 'another one'.
If u are there to chat, be nice and make witty comments, have your cam on ur face and people will start to include u after a few days. Just keep pushing and people will notice u.
Good luck |

Have to say that I too found the chatrooms here a waste of time. The clique members must be knackered when they're finished, not relaxing at all!
When I come on somewhere like this I want to relax, chill, not have to have my eyes glued to the screen every second! |

Its all each to their own. A clique is just people who know each other.
I use the chat rooms every day and make sure I say hi to everyone who comes on and introduces themselves. If they dont speak then who can blame people for not making contact.
Over the time I have been on Fab I have used the Forum and Chat and at the moment I find Chat more to my taste. Also for the comments further up. You will find that one of the rooms is a Directing Room. If people want to show their bodies etc why the hell not. After all this is a swinging site not a Sunday School site.
As for another comment up there, well I would say this it it. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder, one mans meat etc. Perhaps others see something that the person who made the comment didnt.
At the end of the day you get good and bad on Chat or Forum, you just have to find what suits you. |

You only get out what you put in.
Everyone is new at some point. When I (mrs) started using chat rooms years ago I soon realised that if I was going to be a wallflower and wait for people to speak to me, I probably wouldn't get anywhere, so I butted in to anyone and everyones conversation and eventually people chat and answer you.
Just saying hello in chat may get missed, so I would keep trying.
All those people in the "clique" people talk about didn't know each other at first either.  |

Exactly Rugby you have hit the nail on the head. I remember going to a club for the first time. At the end Patrick and I sat by a couple. Pat got up to go for a smoke and I was left by myself. So I introduced myself to them and got talking. I asked how they were enjoying their first experience of a club. They replied that they found it very cliquey and no one spoke to them. I replied that at that precise moment I was a woman sitting on my own striking up conversation with them. And as Rugby said you only get out of things what you put in |

I often find the chatrooms very fast so I go in at stupid o'clock when there are less people online.
I was lucky tho I had a friend who went in with me (he was used to the speed of the rooms cos he was a chat mod on another site) and he made sure I had a rough idea what I was doing, now I just need to remember how to whisper and not muck it up, and pluck up the courage to go in at this time of day when more people are online and in the rooms.

Cliques or a bunch of 'friends' who chat with each other ?
If you walked into a pub that you've never been into in your life, does everyone stop what they're doing and talk to you ?
Of course they don't, but that'll be cos they're all in a clique aren't they and you are not welcome
Bottom line - join in the chat, yes the chat usually comprises of a total load of incoherent bollox, so all you need to do is add you tuppence worth and eventually you'll be one of the percieved clique |

I found the same problem in Genral chat room, I don't use the Directing chat as it tends to lock up my computer, the 'new' chat room is better I think.
But then the 'Lounge' can be cliquey!!

Personally, I like the chat rooms, especially the Directing Room, but then I do like a bit of exhibitionism, lol.
I only go on with Dan though, as I can't keep up with reading and typing (and following directions  )
The regulars aren't that cliquey, it's just if you come across them half way through a mad conversation you can feel a bit lost.
Talk to me if you spot me there: I don't bite (mostly ) |

My tuppence, for what what it's worth (prob about 0.00001p).
I am in the Scotland Room most nights/mornings, usually till about 5am, and I endeavour to say hello to everyone that comes in and invie them into conversation.
Yes it can be difficultand intimidating when "friends" that speak to each other every night are in, but I would never preclude anyone from a conversation.
Hell, I even find myself after a few months on here (OK not that long really) going into chat and feeling out of place and out of my depth.
YES, it is scary, YES it is a case of jumping in feet first, but we've all been newbies and we need to remember how it was the first time we dipped our toes in the water.
SORRY - that probably didn't come across how I meant it to, but what I mean to say is don't be scared, the water ain't that cold and someone will always throw you a lifebelt
SHUTTING UP now cos my champagne is running out xx |

Had a look recently but thought it didn't look as good as the forums.
I used to be in a bbw chat room with a voice chat option as well as the usual typing. Only one person could speak at a time, but it worked really well. I loved the different regional accents and personalities. Perhaps Fabs will have summat like that some day. |

And when you say something about no one speaking or answering you when you type ....you get labbled a MOANER!!.....
if asking for manners by way of an answer is moaning, then i'll moan till the cows come home !!.....lol |

"yes a typo butits true you go in and chat and just sit there after you have said hi and no body even has manners to acknowledge you"
If all anyone does is go into chat and 'just sit there' after just saying hi then I am not surprised you feel like people are ignoring you.
You have got to make an effort yourself to get involved and not just expect everyone to come flocking to you just because you enter the chat room and say hi - would it happen in a packed pub/club? I think not! 
Make an effort to join in conversations, start your own conversation with people and basically put something into chat instead of 'just sitting there' then people will get to know you and chat to you more.
Just the tuppence worth of someone who makes an effort in chat to actually chat! |

For the first few weeks of going into the chat room I used to just sit and say hi and bye to everyone, my typing was so slow that I couldn't keep up even with that... it got to the stage when the room was busy I'd see who everyone was saying hi to and copy them!
I persevered and eventually engaged in actual conversations with folk, even now I find if I'm not in the chat room for a few days that there are new people, and I have to make an effort to engage in conversations again.
It IS like being in your local, the more you go in, the more people get to know you and chat with you.
I still have difficulty typing fast enough to keep up with all the convos going on at once and I'm a mod!
Persevere and you will get there. |

As we are members of 4 sites such as this and use the chatrooms on all 4 sites we have found its always the same people in the clique but just using different names, so it would seem its the few spoiling it for the many..
in the general room on this site i saw one day a room fall out and a certain few ganged up on a member, one of the few said to this poor guy ""its our room and dont u forget it "" with that i never went into the chatrooms on this site again...
the rooms on this site arent owned by anyone they are provided by the site to use by all not just the honoured few and the few should remember this...
what we all have to remember is ...we are all different and as such want different things so if we dont all fall into what the chatroom clique feels we should they should leave the few that want to have fun alone...to let them have fun in their own way...

"Absolute waste of time its like being a naughty child u r effectively sent to stand in the corridor, big thumbs down. "
I was in the Scottish Chatroom till 5am ish today and was never once sent to any naughty corner. Mainly because I join in the conversations, say hello to people who come into the room (be they newbies or people i have got to know) and have a laugh and a good time with everyone in the room.
There are those that do forget they are not in the Directing Room, but a wee polite reminder to them usually gets most to stop and some even say sorry
If you put nothing in you will get nothing back
Again just my tuppence worth! |

As has been said many times before, sometimes chat flows so fast that people often get missed when saying hi. It's not being rude, it's the fact that if you are like me and cannot touch type, you take your eyes off the screen to type and a whole page of chat can whizz by.
I usually just say one 'hi' to the room now when it is busy, that way no-one feels excluded, and I don't feel bad if I miss them.
Equally I don't feel bad if I don't get a hi from everyone, I just think will catch them later if we have something of relevance to say to each other.
Not everyone feels like entering into certain topics of conversation and are happy to just watch the chat whizz by, watch cams or listen to music through the cams etc.
Again like in the pub... you want company but are happy in your quiet time when there.

I went into the chat room during my forum ban and i just couldn't get back into it. Like i have said before its way too fast and you cannot really get a good convo going.
I use another swinging sites chatroom and its way much better and you can also chat in private. |

I have always been in chatrooms even had my own on an international site for 4 years. Every chat room i have been in have been great until i joined fab. Now im talking about the general chat room here. Every time i went in i would have to repeatedly say hello for maybe one person to answer, everyone spoke to "there friends" usually underlining what they where saying. Mods never greated newbies but where watching chat as they where very quick to point out the rules when i say rules people where repremanded for things like HEllo when it was obvious the cap lock had stuck and other such like. Its the only site i never use the chat room on. I know people come on the forums and say they are cliquey but once someone has posted once or twice they are soon recongnized. Im afraid the chatroom (general) is not a good advertisment for this fantastic site |

I went in the General Chat room today and found it to be quite exclusive and hostile towards new male chatters. I expected to find a jolly room with banter and a nice friendly atmosphere but instead I found I was most definitely not welcome.
I wondered if anyone else had experienced the same type of exclusion or if I was just unlucky to go in at lunchtime when people may have been crazed with hunger and so came across as hostile. "
definately not just a single male thing...we try and try to get chatting in the rooms but the regulars just bulldoze everyone elses conversation out of the way..
They only seem to be interested in what they want to talk about.
Two weeks running now we have asks repeatedly if our sound is audible in the rooms...not one single reply
Its got to the point now where we just cant be bothered trying.

They would need to be viewing your cam and listening to your audio for them to know whether they could hear it or not. Just because you have it on it doesn't mean it is audible to everyone in the chatroom. |

actualy if you check the rules you can go on camera , even have rampant sex on camera, in ANY of the rooms.
All you have to remember is which room your in ....ie don't ask people what they want to see you do, or tell folks what to do when viewing them on thier cameras.......those two acts are ONLY allowed in the directing room .
have fun ....and happy swinging....lol |
