"Humans are social creatures, we develop relationships with people when we get a feel for them. We are naturally a little wary of strangers. Would you walk into a bar and ignore those you knew and talk to total strangers instead?" I see what you are saying. Chat and laugh with those you know though I am the type who would welcome others in the bar to join the group as its good to make new friends. Though, if I and the rest of the group, continually ignore the other person, just continually bypass his/her comments and keep chatting to the people we know.......the 'stranger(s)' will stop making any effort to join in and leave the bar and find another bar with friendlier people. Just my observation. | |||

There are those whose every comment is negative or critical, why would anyone invite that into their lives? We for one have enough going on in our lives, fab is for fun and other people's angst is their problem. | |||

"The stranger needs to chip in with something relevant/nteresting/different that will encourage a response" Strangers do try....and try again....many times. | |||

"Either that or just be content that people arent responding because noone is obliged to." I know that. No one is obliged to speak to others. I would just giving my observation. I have tried several times to get 'involved' in the forums and believe me, after a while of adding comments and post being totally ignored and the previous post by a regular being replied to.....I very rarely bother anymore. Everyone sees it differently but I have been on and off Fab for the past 7 years or so and it 'appears' to have more clicks than ever before but tbf not just in the forums as its the same in the chat room. | |||

"I agree with you 100% , plenty of clicks here , each time you press a button on the keyboard there's a click .;-) When I started posting few weeks ago , I started with games , both on Irish and UK formus , easy way to get to know people, have a few laughs, see how the forums work . Felling more comfortable now to jump on more serious topics. Before that thought , the most clicking I've done was the "forum search" button , I call it Faboogle now. I'm still very new , compared to some that have been here for years. Don't be surprised that people who see eachother here on a daily basis will talk to eachother more. On here, I could tell Reality to Bite my ass and he's going to come back with a smart joke or comment . Feel free to speak but don't be a dick , soon you will see that only in your head was the imaginary click . " | |||

"I am just commenting on what I have experienced. Maybe I am too boring or argumentative...who knows! I am the type to talk to anyone whether at a bus stop or bar. Just my nature. " I understand what you mean though because I struggled in the forums on a previous profile. It's very easy to misinterpret text though and it takes time and patience for others to get a sense of who you are and what you are about. | |||

"OP, don't let what you post or when you post be dictated by anything other than you wanting to. The forums are nothing more than an extension and collection of each person's personality. If someone finds you worth engaging with, for lack of a better term, they will! Whether it's your first post or your 100th, like anything else you get what you put in. What is so often described as a "clique" by some is nothing more than a friendship that's been developed " That makes sense to me. Wanna spoon? | |||

"Hi all, May I talk about an observation made by myself on here. I have noticed a trend of a small minority on here that I’ve developed what some may define as a ‘click’ per say. The rest of the guys and girls are just innocent bystanders and some eventually are welcomed into these so called clicks. I’m not complaining or anything but just wondering has anyone else noticed this? " Post when you are interested in a topic or want to participate in one of the games. I find I get a lot of interaction in private message when I post on the forums, from people who read forums but don't post. It gives them an opener for chat. I rarely chat privately with people that post on the forums. I find I have more private chat with people from the Irish chat rooms but I chat away in both when I want. | |||

" as others have said people will kind of group together (knowingly or unknowingly) and get to know each other off the forums. if you keep plugging away you will get noticed. at least it's not as bad as it used to be. one group would go out of their way to wreck people's threads, exclude them and make fun of them declaring it as "banter" have hated that word ever since to be honest. | |||
