Yeh ok, i will even deliver it for that.....

Well ..... I am relatively new, but found the place to be very friendly and helpful. Yes, as has already been said, there are a core of members who have known each other since they built the Ark, but that situation happens everywhere.

Yes, I have had threads unanswered, possibly due to a general slow down in forum activity, my uninspiring post content or lack of personal hygiene ... but what the hell  

All in all this has got to be one of the friendliest forums I have been on and the lengths some members go to in order to help even us newbies has to be seen to be believed.

I want to see the 6 malcontents whom voted 'cliquey'; named and shamed!

 

8 now. I am one.

This place can feel clquey for a noob, precisely because there is a core of people who came from a previous forum and outside them another layer of people who have met up (Lakes, Newent etc).

But the analogy of a local pub is a good one. If you want to sit up at the bar with the locals, you need to make an effort. It won't happen by looking on thinking "bloody hell it's cliquey".

With any bunch of people, there will always be in-jokes etc that doesn't help. But that's natural and shouldn't be changed.

Lastly, writing style.
I am an engineer and a lot of my communication is written. As a result, my style can cause something perfectly balanced and reasonable in my mind to be typed and posted - only to come accross as curt and sometimes aggressive. The reaction to it comes as a shock in those cases and back pedalling results.

That sounded a bit curt to me

And aggressive

I spend half my life back pedalling,  but usually because I put my mouth into gear before engaging my brain

BTW Bandit, if you want your posts to sound more understanding while at the same time putting your point across, read some of my replies.

We all do it. And we all wake up the next morning thinking "break, I wish I hadn't said that".

Except probably you STMO...  

And Debs, who never posts a mis-considered word   In fact some of her words are considerably well considered...  

[Auto Addict]

The last thing we want is people to think that this is cliquey.

In the General Help section, most of the problems are seen through to a satisfactory conclusion, in my experience.

The General Chat, well some members do a lot of posting, rib tickling etc. others take a little time to get known.
