I still don't feel like I 'fit in' these days, especially not like I used to. B ut I don't put in as much time as I used to either so I guess its like 'real friendships' in that sense

I also do think that the chat threads are quite cliquey. Not that anyone seems to be deliberately made unwelcome, but people who dont usually post there will be pretty much ignored a lot of the time. Its always been like that though, I just didn't really see it when I was 'part' of that group.]
But again, its like that in real life too. if a group of friends is talking and a randomer comes to join in, people tend to pay much more attention to their mates

The thing is I know full well I'm considered to be part of the 'clique' that apparently is rampant on this forum. I consider a large number of people on here as a friend, and it winds me up being accused of things that wouldn't seem out of place on the school playground.

Are there cliques?

I mean the clique thing, which would imply that I am unwelcoming and part of a 'gang.' The number of people who post in the chat thread alone seems to be too large to be considered a clique in my view.

Thank you, but I know that I'm considered part of it by those who see the chat thread as a problem on here. The thing is, I remember when I first started posting in there and I was practically ignored at first, but I kept at it and soon my sparkling personality shone through Seriously though, outcasting new people is just not something that I would ever do in real life, so why the hell would I do it on an internet forum and why would I be friends with people who do it either?

I've only been posting in the chat threads for around a month, all feel like I can speak to many people on the forum whether they post in the chat threads or not
Like Rob said tho, you just have to get yourself known one way or another

Well yeah, but everyone would have felt like that when they first started posting in there surely? It doesn't mean that there's a clique or that new people aren't welcome to start posting in there though, does it?

I didn't say new people weren't welcome to start posting there, but I understand why people think its a bit 'cliquey' as people ARE usually pretty much ignored to start with. As they would be IRL, its no different really.
You sound oddly defensive about this, when you just admitted you felt the same when starting posting there

I just jump in if I have something to say, obviously I am older and not on the same wavelength as some of the younger ones, but it is a great learning curve.
I have to say I never feel shunned if I get no response to my posts, I don't feel the need to answer every post I read either. I love that we all have different views on life in general, and I admit that the banter is like a different language at times, but stick in there Sue, you will eventually realise that a lot of things we might take seriously are really only tongue in cheek banter......unless you are in the SD forum |
