cold-shoulder... ( Archived) (49)

As long as I can be snuck in, entire. Just to be clear, entire, or the deal's off.

Is it just me, …is it in my imagination, or do other new members have/feel the same problem of Ignorence on the Forum?
It seems to be a privilegd for a select public/ members… As a newbe it is hard to participad, got that weird feeling I’m always talking to the hand when I try to participate…
Maybe it's because of the sawdust in my head!


Once up on a time, I do remember it was always fun in the Forum, seems like ages ago ...[/quote


More than just some remember the Forums as good fun.
As some have pointed out that it is not you, nor many others but those that for instance have several profiles up; they post multiple threads which appeal to no one but themselves then in their varying guises post on those threads as well as all others something idiotic, banal or just plain infantile . Are they driving people off...you bet they are either as their goal or by putting many others off and they just don't post.
The ol' days in many cases were both a hoot and fun to partake in the many long postings on many threads and feel good afterwards. Not so now. Same back when the Euro threads were alive with a wide assortment of interesting people and threads that made it come alive with daily banter or insightful and provocative topics and posts were well thought out, even by those from outside the EU. Those days have died out sadly just look at the date times of postings and the topics...mediocre to just blithering.
You're a brave soul being here... Welcome! Hope you stay around and find a comfortable niche...
