[Jay28jay2]

Definately not, I have been here a few years and i've never really made any friends or talk to anyone outside of the forum

[Matthew.]

Not really, everyone on TiBB is always so welcoming towards new members and nobody ever means any malice on here.

[Daniel.]

Yes but I wouldn’t really want to

This is very true however I find the threads the group threads impossible to join ..I guess i need to pull up my big gurly pants more and dive right in..

[Ramsay]

I am the alpha male around here so no

[Morgan.]

Yes but only because I feel like there was already Groups before I joined, and they still remain, so it's awkward when you try and talk to them and get involved

[thesheriff443]

You don't need to fit in!, say want you feel is right to you.

exactly

So I put this out there to long term members with a tight group of friends let us in without malice or teasing (teasing can kick in once you know us for more than 5 mins)

I just get on with my business around here anyway though. It's not like they're being nasty or malicious by not letting us in and in fact is probably just out of habit that they stay in one group so s I don't really mind because I still get on with most people here

[thesheriff443]

There is a gay straight young old devide, but that what keeps this place going.

Ty for that I always wondered.. I love this place but was curious if others felt the same way sometimes not in a bad way of course but just sometimes wanted to be a part of something but couldn't always find.. the way in.. lol

[Vicky.]

Yeah, often. I used to fit in pretty well when I used the chat threads and msn and that. Definitely not now.

For me, you are the most open and honest person on this forum.

Others will probably disagree with me encouraging it but I found most friends through playing forum games

oh no really? but you are vicky awesomeness to the very core (not butt licking honest)

Just mean by that your posts have always been fun filled

[Rob!]

Tbh, despite all the claims that there are cliques and friendship groups that don't welcome anybody else, it's actually all bull****. If you post in the chat thread, there are always people that will chat back to you and after a few days, you're considered to be a piece of the furniture. Just have the confidence to come in and make yourself known tbh. Every single person who posts in there was new to the environment once. I guess it doesn't help that it seems that people have their own language in there, but it's in no way noninclusive.

I find the forum .. has become much more 'baity' with some horrific comments...which has scared a lot of people off...it has all become very 'personal' when its Bb time thats for sure..

I did venture in a few times however that was quite sometime ago I was attacked for the name I had..I was laughed at ridiculed etc.. so needless to say a change of name was needed...so no its not BS.. it does happen even if you don't see it...

[-Sue-]

anyway Im not trying to upset anyone in a tight knit group etc im just saying that sometimes its hard to 'fit in' when the minute we walk in were ridiculed in bulk.. manners cost nothing banter can always follow once you have known a person a bit.. there thats my 10p worth

But that's what the report button is for. Trust me, the mods are quite capable of punishing anyone they see to be out of order in there, the problem is you don't always know who has been punished for what, so it's never exactly clear. I'm not denying for one second that there are some absolute tools on this forum but you get that anywhere. It's the internet, and people are a lot braver behind a keyboard than they would be in real life.
