Yes you are probably right. There used to be quite a large group of friends here a few years ago. I personally don't feel any connection to a group these days though. It's interesting, the group dynamics. Just like being back in high school. :P

Even this topic has been covered several times (not criticising, many topics have a cycle of recurrence). For the most part, I see newbies welcomed to the forums. Variety is the spice of life. Yes, I have seen people leap to the defense of their online friends but this usually depends on the severity of the offense and rarely has anything to do with the seniority of the offender. I have seen newbies enter the fray, guns blasting, in an effort to assert themselves and get shot down for their arrogance but I've seen long term members behave similarly and treated in an equally stern manner. Do you think it's a good idea to take the attitude, "Oh, he's only new. Let him be as offensive as he likes"?

It does have the feeling that you need to earn your stripes before you are accepted. Most groups tend to be clicky, so I would agree.

From what I've seen and experienced so far on the forums I would have to agree with you OP.

Oh there are definitely some here who think they own their respective clique areas and woe to anyone who dares disagree with them. What is sad is that often it is a group of women that form these groups and there are some guys that will pick up on that and attack anyone who dares to have a differing opinion - all in the hope their own social standing will go up a notch. I have to admit it is funny when you take a break from here for a few months. You come back, post something in the forums and treated like a newbie by someone who has only been active for a month (but been posting every day of that month lol). Had that experience a few times now, always gives me a chuckle.

I'll have to pay that one primal!I've been on rhp for not even a month and I have noticed it too. So much that on one recent and long running forum, which I posted my comment, the person hosting that forum seemed to instantly run around flapping like a chook without a head? How you ask?...By jumping in out of nowhere, started fawning over people with these gushing acknowledgements of the persons post above and below mine. Then gave herself away totally by going to view my profile? Not once but twice?So on reading between the lines what that really says to me is, "I don't really give a shit about the person below or above you in my forum. I just did that because I am very threatened by you and the power of your written word and I am afraid because I feel inadequate in the face of your post." (Or something like that?)I call it 'the sneaky backhander'. As true friends always stab you in the front!Good topic!

Absolutely agree, like any slice of the population we have our alphas, wannabe alphas, know alls, sycophants, whingers, stirrers and trolls, nurturers, mothers and general good sorts.To be expected, it can be like high school behaviour but it can also be a source of good knowledge both general and personal.Personally I also find it a great mirror, which is a good thing, not always what I want to see but you get that !I have made several attempts at smoothing in to chat, it's not for me.The software is a clunky piece of crap but it seems to be a really closed shop, not a hi or a welcome, newbs just get stone walled.I truly can't be fucked with it.I use chat elsewhere where I can have six windows open at once, any size I choose and the people are warm friendly fun and sexy.Nuff said.

I'm not saying that every forum poster with seniority does that. I think the majority of the old crew are great and I enjoy reading what they have to say. Most I find to be fair and inclusive with measured opinions in most cases.

Just as in off-line, people group together, people will pick on a new person, people are people are people yes you have to hang in there , I got the pack thing, as do we all when we join we can get a little passionate at times. On here is like a hot house, it makes things seem bigger than Ben hur as your not face to face You will see me get into it with people, and you will think shit they really don’t like each other, yet if you saw us together having a social drink you would think differently. We throw stones from far far away on a computer and sometimes we don’t know our own strength New kids on the block are like sitting ducks at times, because they are new and do not have the benefit of to much time sitting here writing and reading posts, so don’t know the background or the shifting dynamics. Yes sadly some of us need a life! That’s what makes the forums interesting, or it would be so dull if we did not get passionate about things Yes we form groups, but not always along state lines but it looks that way as in the west a lot of us know each other off-line as well, so friendships have formed. I have friends over east that I have met and who I disagree or agree with depending on the topic to answer your question, your right I am one of those old forum hags who opens my mouth to change feet, at least I entertain welcome to the sand pit honey

It happens on every forum I've ever participated in or viewed. Be around long enough and you will see the posters that like to grandstand, show pony etc then ones that sprout words of wisdom.. "ass-vice " across nearly every single topic adding their two cents worth ( how they manage to have time to do this I never know..). Also "friends" that agree or back up their "mates" if they feel they are getting a bum steer or an unfair comment thrown at them. And if that fails they have their trusty fake profile to back themselves up as well..( That's my personal fave to watch out for can be entertaining at times )Mooka you old forum poster you..xx Have missed your entertaining true wit in here buddy!!

Join 'em .... No, seriously. I choose not to notice it. I'll play in the sandpit when I think something interesting is going on. I'm pretty much oblivious to anything else (and some jokes are way over my head ...) *wanders off to find some new toys...*

The disappointing thing is that in high school, people really don't know any better but surely as grown ups we can all choose our behaviour. The endless popularity contests are just tiresome.

Quoting 'deepbluesumthing' I think the majority of the old crew are great and I enjoy reading what they have to say. Most I find to be fair and inclusive with measured opinions in most cases. Welcome Deepbluesumthing, I agree with your statement.I also agree what Primal_InstinXXX has to say about the Pack Mentality and tight clicks.I have seen people delete profiles due to that. Personality Traits sure do shine through and it's very very interesting to watch and observe.There is always wisdom in crowds..for me they are the ones that stand out.As posted in another Forum..."Yes its tragic there are some that post nasty little comments on threads here and there...for me being a newbie I ignore and look at what other people bring. Overall its a great place. I have been educated in more ways than one."FOXY :)

I do agree OP the chat rooms definatly has that feeling you have walked into a party without knowing any one but others seem to be getting on like a house on fire. What you describe in your OP is more evident in that enviorment I think as you can make a comment and it can get totally ignored by the masess . i think if you have wit and personality you will eventually get some form of recognition in chat rooms as long as you show respect and do not come off as being a total knob /wanker. Or you if you do try the brash outspoken idiot in there you will quickly get shot down in flames which again can be entertaining for the rest of us to watch as well..Sat..who loves watching a good cat/dog fight in chat rooms sometimes..

Distraction is the best form of conflict resolution. Though it does work on the principle that people's attention span is as short as mine. Who wants to play on the slippery dip? *skips off*

In any place where some know some people, and others dont.... you will find that familiarity does create a degree of "in the club" mentality. But its not exclusionary other than in an individuals perception..... because these are open forums.An open forum is a great place to ask questions, share your ideas, opinions and views.Some people will always seek to use the forums as their personal advertising site...... starting topics or offering a short comment as a segue to offering their sexual services to the world at large.But there are options..... dive on into the pool.... or dip your toe.Either way, just enjoy yourself DG

Littlemiss, What so you mean by popularity contests? Do you mean when people chat about meeting up or something? Genuinely curious with that one. Otherwise, I enjoy the fighting, the arguing, the bitching it makes it interesting. A lot of people that make out they are all sweetness and light are usually the ones gossiping and bitching behind the scenes. Although I also hear the gossip too... We are all inter connected. There is probably only one degree of separation in most instances so people do talk. Although I know exactly who will read this and think they are above all that. Well poppy cock to you. I don't believe it for an instance. Lol I have been accused of this a lot but I seriously do not believe all the hype around the Meeka profile. The fact I may be a popular posted doesn't mean anything as most of you would walk past me in the street without a second glance. I don't take the flattery I get personally. Although I think a lot of new people that join go through a period where they actually believe all the hype and think people are genuinely interested in them. I suppose they believe their own press. :D

It's not always good exposure for some (as like any forum, you still have to have a good general intellect, be able to spell, stay relevant to the subject, pick up or respond to social cues and stand behind what you say etc.) No one can pretend these things. Having said that, I have received more genuine attention through my forum posts than my profile. Just as I have noticed individual men through the forums on the merit of their opinion when ordinarily I may not have looked twice at them or even noticed their profile. It gives that extra bit of insight into who people are, what they are about and how they think. Which has proven itself valuable for me. So why not use it I say?

Quoting 'deepbluesumthing'And even the best sandpits need some dredging with the pooper scooper every now and then! Gold! What gets me is the little comments to each other like: I see you want all the attention AGAIN. You just want to be liked, AS USUAL. Crap like that. But it happens outside of the forums too. Sometimes things that are said about me or the people I'm having sex with, get back to me. I think you find out quite quickly who the good folk are on here. All the others are just fluff. Bum fluff. *Joins paintme with her little red bucket*

when you are a new poster,you don't have instant posting priviledges.Your posts wait in a queue until a moderator approves them.But to you it appears that your post is there,but if I am looking at the same thread,I cant see your post until it is approved.That is why sometimes it may feel as if you are being ignored when the truth is that your post will only appear to others after it has approval. I hope this helps.

Like anything, you need new people to join in the forums to give it some oxygen. To fan the flame or expand it's horizon a bit more. Imagine if it was just the same old closed group? How much can you all head fuck each other until you get sick of it or run out of road? I must admit though.... I love it when the girls chime in from the peanut gallery......just like a bunch of old hags at a pie bake-off!"Ha ha..xx..you know who you are! (In time I will probably be one of them myself?) Or the blokes pipe up like the couple of coughing and spluttering old farts on the balcony ofThe Muppet Show!.....enough said...Shit...I'm gonna get killed for this.

I disagree, OP, particularly in the forums. There is, of course, familiarity between people that is obvious to the newb such as myself. But I don't see the hard core pack mentality that others mention. Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough, but I've felt unthreatened and unintimidated since I randomly walked in off the street a month or two ago, ordered myself a drink and joined the conversation. The chat rooms are a different matter... there, I just feel like a fly on the wall at a text messaging convention. Although, Freya's comment that posts are moderated but may appear to me as posted gives me cause to think *all* my posts are queued...- Posted from rhpmobile

I joined RHP a few years ago ans yes I found it "clicky". I still do to an extent. In the forums I was jumped on for my opinion as being judgmental which I did not think the case. I took a step back. Then I thought nah fuck them! They can have their shitty clicky groups and not have the decency to listen to any one else instead of judging us themselves so I just persevered and took no notice of the snide comments. I have slowly made my way back in though on my grounds not theirs. Mind you though some of these "clicky" people have either pulled their head in or simply left. As for the chat rooms yes the same happened though not as brutal as the forums. I myself am a regular in the WA chat room however do take a break from time to time as it does become notoriously clicky in there with different groups and of course the same ole same ole. I will say I do not like the personal attacks in the chat rooms as hey it is suppose to be fun and guess what people it is not really reality....(this is when I take a break from these people) unless of course you have no life and live, eat and breath your your life though the naughties in here. Knock your sox off. For the most part though I have found majority of people friendly and if you do not get a response in the chat rooms doesn't mean give up. It just means people are not noticing because some hot chick is fucking herself on cam and hey they of missed your comment. Or in my case a nice cock is about to cum and I am distracted.. Don't take it personally. They are the ones with the problem if they have to attack in such a way it makes you feel uncomfortable. Unless of course it is constructive.... right. Oh and as for the spelling and grammar Nazi's knock your sox off.

Yep, there probably are different groups in the forums and in chat who are friends in real life, cause they have taken the time to meet off line.Just like in real life.I will always give my opinion on a topic as I see it, regardless of the poster being a newbie or not.If someone is going to jump in with guns blazing I will fire back.Over the past year there has been monumental changes in the forums, from light hearted fun and stirring topics to many that are always going to incite very heated debate.Many I wont even bother to comment on as you just know they are going to end up being closed or vanquished to the big black cyber hole.The past few months have seen an influx of posters with multiple profiles and personalities...set up mainly to upset the forums. Very sad to see. Bad karma for them....it will just come back to bite them on the bum.There are wolves in sheep clothing, jackals in the hen houses, that portray one thing on the forums then run to the mods to report anyone that says things they dont like (or they just dont like that person)....again, very sad to see.Every member of RHP has a right to their thoughts and comments....life would be very boring if we all held the same beliefs. Some believe they have super powers and are invincible,some believe we should be treated as whores,some are like ostritches and have their head in the sandpit.Then we have many that comment freely , wisely and a large dose of wit.How many of you have a similar group of people like the above that you work with?I think some newbies feel a bit hard done by as they take a lot that is said here too personally, they havent realised many words here are said tongue in cheek.....they havent been here long enough to know the way some topics will go.There used to be a saying here, it went along the lines of " drink a cup of concrete and harden the fuck up".(and dont forget your pooper scooper).

Big picture...I think everything happens for a reason and no one is ever immune. I believe we are all either attracting or repelling somebody or something all of the time. The personalities and archetypes encountered in forums are the same as in normal everyday life. Such as... the fool, the sage, the trickster, the king, the great mother, the villain, the chameleon, the lover, the child, the princess, the crone, the magician, the alchemist, the priestess, the artisan, the hedonist, the banker, the hero, the coward, the victim, the prostitute, the warrior...and the list goes on and on.There are literally hundreds of archetypes.They are all parts of self we see in each other and are recycled time and again throughout history.They feature in every event, every myth and legend, every movie and every storybook ever read.In a society, family of origin, workplace, sporting club, high school etc. of course we need hierarchy or the so called 'powers that be' that make our community structure or things just wouldn't work. It would be anarchy otherwise? There are so many unspoken rules just as much.It is a very brave person who knows the rules and how to break them!

But I don't see the hard core pack mentality that others mention. Perhaps I'm not looking hard enough, but I've felt unthreatened and unintimidated since I randomly walked in off the street a month or two ago, ordered myself a drink and joined the conversation. God I thought it was just me..(grabs a handful of popcorn) I cant see this whole clicky thing thats being mentioned. (perhaps Im blind - misguided) Yes quite a few off us know each other offsite...especially here in Perth - or WA - the scene here is smaller and when you live here you will find we are all seperated by like 2 degrees anyway.This has advantages and disadvantages As result we probably do a little bit of inhouse chat..so what ? - I watch it happen with others- its cool..I dont see the prob ...first world prob if anyone does have a issue with it... Im very fortunate to know quite a few people over East...- some Ive me, some I hope to meet when I head over East soon....excellent.. However Im buggered if I can see where the click is......like minded people are attracted to like minded..so yes ones opinion may be back up by another friend......again so what ?? My only gripe is ones that try to control the sandpit........and have multiple fake profiles - took a while to spot them but Im wiser now........and those who enter the sandpit occassionally..take cheap shots and make nasty personal remarks at one poster or another...feel a little superior cause they have kicked some sand in someones face and then take off (always blocking their profile from your view ) yeah...nice. I welcome any Newbie...the more the merrier........just be respectful of others and their opinions (if they so differ from yours) that is all I ask... Oh and for the record when you have been banned, you lose your instant and have to start all over again to regain your instant...I know its kinda of happened to me of late...fair enough.............thats cool..it is after all ...a first world prob...

A friend of mine on here is very good at spot the multiprofile Some of these peoplepresent themselves as both men and women, one woman I know had four profiles I have my suspicion that one married profile, is just one poor guy at home with a made up wife. they may start a thread, then back themselves up with their other personalities I have a hard enough time being me, let alone a bunch of other people I wonder if they have sex with all themselves? they can send themselves a flirt and some sexy messages I think if they ever got outed they would be a tad red in the face. I think its rather sad to tell the truth, you do not have to be yourself here anyway, but to be four or five fakes must be hard to keep up with. cheers cybil

But if anyone doubts cliques exist, just watch when a newbie posts for the first time. If it is one a topic that has been discussed before, one of the first 3 replies will be berating the newbie for not using the search button. But if the newbie does use the search button, and rebirths an old thread, often that same person will then get up them for resurrecting a dead thread! No wonder we see the same profiles starting 80% of the threads and 90% of the replies.

Hot pies need to be sampled slowly and carefully, lest they leave you in fits of giggles or burn your tongue :) We use intelligence and wit to entice you to sample our fare. Some mouthfuls are delicious and Moorish. Others, can leave a nasty taste in your mouth because they are not what they seem. My tip is to be bold but honest. If all else fails, develop a thick skin, or keep a handful of sand in your back pocket for emergencies.

Regarding the gossip comments. Lots of gossip normally come from drinks nights, well they did when there were really large nights organised. I think some of you are assuming that it's all malicious. But I don't think it is... It's just people all chatting about other people they know. I think that is a pretty normal thing isn't it? RHP and people we have met through RHP is what we all have in common. Otherwise personally the only I may discuss about people is what they themselves have openly discussed on the forum. One time in band camp this dude kept saying he was a virgin and I believed it. So I mentioned it to someone. Oops I looked like a doofus. :-/ Admittedly if I hear gossip about a friend I normally pass this on to them. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not?

Mooka, you are making out that we are all so awful. The problem is that people that have been around for awhile do get sick and tired of the same old topics coming up. I don't think people are being unfriendly to point it out, or that is not their intention. It's one of the problems of any forum I think. How do you resolve it?? Maybe the categories that RHP are intending to introduce may help.

I have never wanted to win any popularity contest. What these "Newbies" fail to realise is that over the many years we have had some spectacular meet and greet nights that are no longer happening. Many of us "Ancients" went to them and have formed friendships. Strong and lasting away from the forums. Those of you who have come to this sandpit later on are the ones that we should be feeling sorry for. You missed the boat. Get over it. Harden the **** up and stop whinging because it is not to your liking. The forums are what you make it and if you are all going to spend your time getting insulted, having topics closed for next to no reason at all.....then may I suggest you have just wasted your time, money (if a paid member) and not going to get the best from your RHP experience. You all need a new pooper scooper...too much crapola getting through the holes.

Funny if they were actually schizophrenic? When it came to meeting each other in person which one will get stood up? Bahahaha! Gives new meaning to the phrase "Go fuck yourself!"

Fair question. No, not re arrangements to meet. Just behaviours I see often enough - grand standing, sucking up to others, gratuitous flattery, yada yada. It goes in fits and starts I think, sometimes much more cliquey than others. Just my observations.

If a newbie has never entered the "Forum world" before. (never entered forums)... how do they find out information from others... IE: search buttons, history forums, etc etc... They ask questions, post forums and then they get shot down by the ones who have been around for ages, as they feel frustrated by repeativitness...It happens!!! Is this fair or is it ok to then repeativly target that new person and make them butt of in-house jokes?? Like where is that "line" in sandpit dawn by the heirarchy pack....

Too many people too agree with on this one. I really enjoyed deepbluesomethings posts. So say what you want to say. It's the same everywhere in life. The people who are dominate and intimidating tend to rule the crowd so to speak. Being in a group helps to give courage to thoes who lack it them selves. Secrets xo

Quoting 'mooka' Quoting 'tuscanred' A friend of mine on here is very good at spot the multiprofile Some of these peoplepresent themselves as both men and women, one woman I know had four profiles I have my suspicion that one married profile, is just one poor guy at home with a made up wife. they may start a thread, then back themselves up with their other personalities I have a hard enough time being me, let alone a bunch of other people I wonder if they have sex with all themselves? they can send themselves a flirt and some sexy messages I think if they ever got outed they would be a tad red in the face. I think its rather sad to tell the truth, you do not have to be yourself here anyway, but to be four or five fakes must be hard to keep up with. cheers cybil Are you sure they have multiple profiles your just multiple personalities lol I have seen similar and yes it is sad and a little bit pathetic that they end up being the only one agreeing with themselves! But if anyone doubts cliques exist, just watch when a newbie posts for the first time. If it is one a topic that has been discussed before, one of the first 3 replies will be berating the newbie for not using the search button. But if the newbie does use the search button, and rebirths an old thread, often that same person will then get up them for resurrecting a dead thread! No wonder we see the same profiles starting 80% of the threads and 90% of the replies. In the past week alone I have had to tell a few regs (some are newbies themselves) to pull their head in when a new person starts a new Thread! I have used the search tags to find my own posts and nothing came up so how is a newbie meant to know what to do! As RHP Admin Thread says .. there are alot of Threads that don't get through as they have been asked a million times...but the ones that do get through do so because either the topic hasn't been done in a while or because it is a new slant on a question that has been asked over and over! And what is it with guys giving other guys a hard time on here when they start a Thread on how much sex they are getting? (This is not directed at you Mooka)! And then of course the sheep have to follow! Yep, Forums are not like what they used to be! I miss the fun times on here! xFunlovingx

Quoting 'deepbluesumthing' Quoting 'Freya13' when you are a new poster,you don't have instant posting priviledges.Your posts wait in a queue until a moderator approves them.But to you it appears that your post is there,but if I am looking at the same thread,I cant see your post until it is approved.That is why sometimes it may feel as if you are being ignored when the truth is that your post will only appear to others after it has approval. I hope this helps. So Freya13... Are you saying that your posts (and those of other long time members) don't have to go through the screening process at all? Alot of people don't have instant posting for a while! When you hit the "Post Your comment" button it will come uo with a tick and "Your Comment has been posted" otherwise it comes up with something like "Your post will show up shortly when the moderators have approved it" (Been so long since I haven't had instant posting I can't remember the words precisely)! Also if you don't have Instant Posting you have to remember that if it is a fast moving Thread then people may miss your posts as they are one or two pages back! Hope that helps! xFunlovingx

Quoting 'Ms_Devious' What gets me is the little comments to each other like: I see you want all the attention AGAIN. You just want to be liked, AS USUAL. Crap like that. But it happens outside of the forums too. Sometimes things that are said about me or the people I'm having sex with, get back to me. I think you find out quite quickly who the good folk are on here. All the others are just fluff. Bum fluff. *Joins paintme with her little red bucket* I have to say...in ALL the years I have been on here I have NEVER heard, seen or read anything of the like being on the Forums! And I read ALOT of Forums Threads and Posts! Can you point one out? Loose lips sink ships! Maybe you need to find more discreet sex partners? If they are talking about other people chances are they talk about you too! xFunlovingx

Quoting 'Meeka100' Regarding the gossip comments. Lots of gossip normally come from drinks nights, well they did when there were really large nights organised. I think some of you are assuming that it's all malicious. But I don't think it is... It's just people all chatting about other people they know. I think that is a pretty normal thing isn't it? RHP and people we have met through RHP is what we all have in common. Otherwise personally the only I may discuss about people is what they themselves have openly discussed on the forum. One time in band camp this dude kept saying he was a virgin and I believed it. So I mentioned it to someone. Oops I looked like a doofus. :-/ Admittedly if I hear gossip about a friend I normally pass this on to them. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not? Good call....people will always talk about other people. It's human nature. Gossip can be juicy.

Several comments like I described have been made to MrsP in recent times. I will try and get you a concrete example if you like. As for loose lips: The gossip is not coming from the people I'm seeing, in my experience it's usually via communal friends or drinks nights that stories get started. Sometimes I've trusted someone with information, to later find they told others. Usually I will hear about it from someone that is looking out for me. So, thank you, you know who you are. Overall I think the forums are great, and little upsets here and there won't change that.

The interesting thing on this site is the lack of rules or guidelines for posting on forums. On most boards, the rules will be the first thing people see in the forum. They can read it if they like, unless you think people here are not going to read things like rules...oh wait, they don't read profiles so not sure if they are going to read rules. It can have simple things like manners for posters. In most blogs, most people would observe the forums for some time before posting anything. They will get a feel for the forum dynamics. The moderation process here can be irritating as you post a response to something and when you check back later it shows up on another page. A great way to break up the flow. I understand why but it sure is irritating. An edit function would really help too. The cliche thing happens but I think it is fluid. People will stop for a while and those who are still posting will form a new cliche, form and reform again and again depending on the composition of users who actively participate in the forums. It is not necessarily a bad thing but it can be off putting for some newer people. Heck, I created my account years ago but haven't been back here for a long time. The posters were different people. So, yes, feels like I'm a newbie all over again.

She didn't however backhand me with the obvious. She strategically placed it in my path for me to realise something for myself (not unlike a good mother would?) I appreciated it.

You would think that, as we are all adults and therefore responsible enough to think and act for ourselves that, our own maturity and conscience would inform our behaviour which would then be kept in check by our own common sense and discretion? You would think? Rules or no rules: By the time someone has offended and been banned the damage has been done. Rules will not deter certain people from playing games, knocking on the front door and then running around trying to come in the back, taking off and hiding their profile and then trying to come back into the conversation like nothing just happened all in the course of one day. Or would it?What rules would you suggest be applied here?

I have been posting on the forums for a year now.I think it can be difficult for new people and yes their are friendships here and at first it can feel a little alien.However if you have ever moved to a new town,started a new job then it is not too dissimilar. It can be very easy to assume that someone is having a go at you when in actual fact it is not about you at all.If you don't like someones comments scroll on,or post that you don't agree.There is a huge difference between personal attacks and disagreements.It would be a snoring boring forum if everybody was saying the same thing. If someone is new and they post something that I disagree with then I will say so.Newness does not preclude that. But attacking someone because they are new and don't know the ''ropes'' is unfair. Recently it seems to me that more and more threads are being closed.I think that the moderators are getting tougher and sometimes posters are asking for posts to be deleted if they are offended but what has been said.To my way of thinking the negative posts say more about that person than the person they have attacked . The forums are a great way to share information,I have certainly learnt heaps.Share life experiences,I have laughed and cried at some peoples stories,and make friends,sometimes with people you will never meet.

This topic is also one that comes up regularly, with typically the same result.A couple of newbies pop their heads up to say they feel a bit intimidated or that there seems to be a clique or two operating.The old timers post in unison letting everyone know it's not like that and/or people should just harden up. Some of them get quite offended.It wasn't like that in the good old days, it used to be much more fun here of course. It's not a clique, they just all happen to have the same opinion.Then someone makes a comment that is either mildly inappropriate or just mis-construed, and the shit fight begins. It's safe to ignore these regular outbursts, they are mostly about baggage not the topic or comments at hand.All good fun for this irregular long timer. What really makes it hard for newbies IMHO is the inequality of the instant posting rights. It's really hard for anyone new to get into the thread of conversation when the more privileged of us can fill up two pages before their comments appear. Definitely creates a hierarchy and makes it look like an exclusive club.Stick at it for a bit though and you can join the inner circle, and as long as you are not a complete tool you will find some like minded souls and some interesting topics.Mr C

It's so obvious for some whov'e been around a while where and who division lays with. Sometimes it's just the way a person expresses themselves that can be annoying ( over use of emoticons/ font / colour/caps/ repetative quoting have all been known to cause ire) or with a fact they have been caught out portraying themselves as someone they are not, or basically a very black and white differences of opinion that they cant let go of and will badger a poster...or in some cases when another topic is going on be blamed again by same poster for "harrasing" them when its just AGAIN another differing bloody opinion!!That is basically a normal cycle of a forum thats after emotional not factual opinions. It's like one big party that you have no control over the invitees and you have no control over how to lose them in a crowd dammit!! You only have the parents/moderators to control them and in some case they can be heavy handed and in others way too lenient.Quoting chicara"It's really hard for anyone new to get into the thread of conversation when the more privileged of us can fill up two pages before their comments appear. Definitely creates a hierarchy and makes it look like an exclusive club."Agrees..In a progressive forum such as this its a flawed system. It gives oppurtunity for missed opinions and a convulted conversation. Let's face it how some opinions finally get through after supposedly being "checked" is questionable..(remember the guy saying a members name gave him herpes and plastered it all across several topics till he was reported)??!!??Lets have an "edit" button and let members use the "report" button as its meant to be used. This surely would free up moderators time sifting through all the innocent opinions which Im sure would outweigh the dodgy ones..Mrs Sat a gold card carrying instant poster ( ner ner ner!!!) ;)

I admit I'm a forum junkie. I love all of the different personalities who post. I love the heated debates, the silly banter, even the 'in' jokes that I don't get. I figure if I hang around long enough it will make some kind of sense, or not, doesn't really matter. I also hope that if I say something out of turn that someone spanks my bum. But I don't have any self control so getting my butt spanked is a necessary thing. I'll hide under my rock for a while and come out when I'm ready and I don't take anything personally. Now ... can someone please rub that jelly on my boobies ... ?

Well said my old chat/forum friend, you were always the voice of sanity here, so happy to see nothing has changed! I have been pushing for an edit button since day one, seems though there are some against the idea but just think how many fights it would have saved - and given the grammar nazis nothing to bitch about lol

Ahh, OP, how funny that the responses to this post are exactly as you describe! That said, I've learned to ignore the nasties ( there have been a couple lately) and just take the bits that I want from the forums. I don't really want to be in the club. I agree with freya about the instant posting thing. Most of us are ignored because our posts don't show up for ages.

Quoting 'Saturn65' Sometimes it's just the way a person expresses themselves that can be annoying ( over use of emoticons/ font / colour/caps/ repetative quoting have all been known to cause ire) Ehhh, hehehe. Quoting 'Saturn65' Quoting 'paintme' Here's the girls ... now let's all take a deep breath, pick up a handfull of sand and build a castle together. If you want to snog the person next to you, go for it!!! Looks around picks up some green wobbly stuff.....I dont have any sand but will Jelly do??Forget the mud... Jelly wrestling!!

Quoting 'deepbluesumthing' Someone mentioned earlier about multi profilers having split personalities in this thread. There was a conversation about it. Connection ie: "Schizophrenics" have split personalities. Taking something way out of context just because you may not like me in particular is not really fair. I thought people were more grown up than that. grown up.....on here surely not pmsl
