Really though, if you step into the conversation, people are more than willing to accept, get to know you, and listen to you....it's all in the way that you look at things... Maybe start a thread of your own, and babysit it, posting after other's post-in response. That is a good way to start feeling a part of things instead of apart of things.....

When I was new here, the only way people got to know me was by starting my own threads on a subject that I knew might interest some people or get them mad. If I responded in a thread I was like invisible.

I shall take this as an oppurtunity to say hi to the ones i havent spoken to before. I do read many people's posts but many i havent corresponded to even once .

Hi Tufty

Hi Seabisuit

Let's Gohhhh!

Hi Riya

[quote=Zellarrone1]I think some of the new "would-be-regular-posters" are put off by all the boring chit chat amongst seemingly cliquey members. They must feel like they've turned up at a party where everyone knows each other except themselves so they feel ignored and vow never to return.

This even turns off some of the older regular posters.

Hi Riya, I don't believe people get scared off the forum's.
They just don't give enough time to settle into the conversations
and friendly banter.

You can't expect to come here and instantly be familiar with
everyone. It takes participating in with discussions on lots
of diverse forums, before other other folks get an idea of how
you will react to any comments that may be passed.
Everyone who introduces themselves, always receives a warm
welcome,either from relative newcomers or people who have been
posting quite a while.

You just have to give it time.

That's the spirit :: slaps back :::


(yours not mine... I can't reach)

I have started a few threads and jumped in on a fair few also..

Like I say, I'm sure it's not deliberate but it does come across that as I'm not in the 'gang' I don't get many replies. (Thats not meant to offend anyone, just my view on it)

Doesn't really bother me to be honest, just thought I'd give a 'newbies' view on it..

Indeedy!

Not saying its a bad thing, in an instant world, more people want instant results?!

Hiya Riya

That's right or maybe you and me have just been going into the wrong boozers j/k

Yeah that's true. :: nods head ::

But here.. like RL relationships take time to build and grow.

hahaha

ok the best post is zella talking about scary fotos




sorry thats an in joke new ppl-but if you hang around youll see some very interesting pics

well when I know that someone is home, and I knock, and no one answers, then I usually kick the bottom of the door until someone answers....sometimes being a bit more intense works...

well, I am new, and I am still here....



You know what I like most, there are so many intelligent people in one place at the same time.... I like that most.

Yes, I think it does turn off some of the older regular posters especially if they have a thin skin

Gave up on pubs not many old spit n sawdust stylee walk in and get a peaceful brew type boozers around any more, even the real dives seem to have gone chrome, and the good old prince where I used to go many moons ago became an Irish theme bar........
