WHAT?

[AnnieK]

I used to be way more active than I am now and to be honest I was more cautious about what I posted then. Now if I have something to contribute I do but more often than not I just read the threads and move on. I dont feel like I can't post though....I find it more daunting (if that's the right word) during on season when threads move so quickly and get pretty nasty

Everyone loves me tbqfh, all of the cliques.

...

To be fair, I don't think TiBB is so much "cliquey" as it is just... Well established. It's an old forum with a lot of history and even members who have been here a few years are "relatively new". The cliques definitely aren't exclusive anyway, most will accept anyone, if anything they're all pretty desperate for me to join but I've held out.

... But yeah, I guess part of the cliquey perception is just the age of the forum and the fact that it's relatively small. There are a lot of references to past events / in jokes so I can see why people might feel left out.

E.g. Everyone knows that Niamh battled a near crippling addiction to potatoes a few years ago. Everyone knows that LT's wife left him because she caught him sending dick pics to Marsh. Little things like that. But it's a fairly accepting and welcoming place all in all... Like I said, it's not exclusive, people will chat to anyone who joins in.

And despite what SOME on this thread might say... SD's is fine too. You just need to be thick skinned and stubborn and an arsehole.

With the chat thread thing it's like any room you walk into where people are there, some might not like you/some might, some might just want to chat with certain people/some might be more welcoming with people they don't know. It's just the way people are in general and nothing specific to this forum imo (and my personal experience is that people have always been welcoming and friendly on the whole). Best thing is to not focus on 'fitting in' as that kind of promotes the idea of cliques anyway, just be an individual and post what you feel like. Also, a lot of what looks like rudeness I think is just friendly banter most of the time or people being cheeky lol but it's not usually malicious so I wouldn't be too put off by that. It's not always easy to tell when it's online though but still I wouldn't take it too seriously. And don't worry about not being funny etc, most of us get by just continue to post like you have done in this thread and people will get to know you, and joining games and things during off season like Blurryface said is a good idea too.

I don't personally mind at all but it is fairly obvious that there are cliques but TiBB is kind of like school in that sense.

I won't go into detail or mention people just incase anyone is offended.

[Brother Leon]

Nah. Place used to be way more of a mess a few years ago with the whole sassy weave phase. Now it's just chill tbh

I don't feel part of ~the in crowd~ bc I don't post in the chat threads and I'm not British so I can't talk about A-levels or Tesco or whatever else, and I'm just the crazy person who posts in the Survivor and BBUS sections that nobody listens to. And I think I'm okay with that?

[Ant.]

THIS is TiBB

It is funny how the chat thread is regarded as the "tibb in crowd".

Why not the bb section regulars?

Chat thread regs are but a small section of all the members.
