"It is hard for newer members or for those who just don’t generally care to be ‘friends’ with randomers on the internet. Comments are completely overlooked the majority of the time 😂 Couldn’t really give a fuck though and still post 🤣" I think that last sentence really sums it up though. I pretty much post my thoughts into the ether and if people respond, they respond. If people are feeling ignored, maybe engage with other posters on their views and you may have a back and forth going. Make the first step to get your foot in the door 🤷♂️ | |||

"We’ve been here for over 10 years and have popped in and out of the forums in that time. I’ve found it much harder lately to be accepted into the fold so to speak. It’s a shame as I love being part of the forums" What have you noticed that's been different since before you went away? Wow, deja vu 😳 | |||

"Has itvreally changedbfor you in a week? I started a thread the other day about an old regular forumite who passed away last week. Three people commented. I've been here 17 years and have seen so many people come and go, that I wouldn't have a clue who was in any clique if there was one. And it's something I frequently used to be told I was in a decade ago. After a near 5 year break I just came back and joined in as I'd done before, with few people still on site that I remembered. People not responding to posts or threads isn't a personal insult. Sometimes people have something to say and sometimes they don't. 🤷♂️" Did you type that with sausages? 🤣🤣 | |||

 Just do as you just done, start a thread or chat on another friendly one. The skipping on threads is laughable, ignore ut or get your own back by skiping them too . Now, what's for dinner.  | |||

People make friends, people gravitate to those they know, some people only reply to people they fancy. It's human nature.

For people joining for the first time, it must be so difficult! Donna x" Just keep posting.. As a single guy it took me well over a year to find myself and I've been posting for 8 years lol..

For people joining for the first time, it must be so difficult! Donna x The clique isn't a myth...but it's also something you don't talk about because all the members deny it 😮😮" Like fuck we do!

"[in Ho Up Hall, Glow is busy, peering into what appears to be a microscope while looking oddly ravishing in a white lab coat.

Tired but elated, Glow looks up from the microscope, remembering not to keep talking in the third person while doing so] OP it’s microscopic. But I found the fuck you should give.

I chose to make friends here by having some banter and being kind… and sarcastic. That was my effort to put in, as it was for me to reap the rewards. Does that make me part of a clique. No. Only my clique… of one. | |||

"There is 100% a group of people on here who say they all know each other whether that’s from socials or sex or just online that can have a tendency to take over posts or direct them in another direction Some call them a clique, they will say they are just friends, however some will deny it exists altogether It makes it sometime an incredibly hard place to be here I dared to say something about a couple of them today on a post I created and the bile I received in my inbox was at least disappointing, verging on bullying at some places It’s a good job I don’t give a fuck and need the affirmation that I am deserved of being here For me the forums are without doubt the best filter for people I’d never engage with " There's always been flirtation and mini 1-2-1 conversation at times in the forums. Especially in the lounge. Yes there's the occasional bit of LPP, peacocking and people making it obvious when they've met, but those comments are easily scrolled past and ignored. But subsequent private mail abuse isn't on. It's playground stuff. Nobody owns the forums and so long as the rules are adhered to anyone can post whatever they choose. Serious thread derailment and public arguments are generally picked up on by one of us mods eventually and people are able to give us a shout or report a thread if they think it needs looking at. Aside from the overly friendly flirting there'll also be plenty of people looking to get someone's attention because they can't do it in private due to filters. And of course those who will attempt to wind others up because they've been rejected previously or blocked. The lounge will always be a melting pot of personalities. Some you'll like, others you won't, most you'll be indifferent to completely. Sometimes it's best to bite your tongue and hit the back button rather than get sucked into negativity. There'll always be another day, another post and plenty of opportunities to comment and get involved. Focus on the positives and avoid the negatives and don't take anything typed in Internet ink personally or too seriously. And most of all? Play nice. It makes for a much more pleasant environment for all. 😉😁 | |||

The nature of the forum is that not everyone will want to reply to everyone and they don’t have to. There’s no obligation to. " I don't think no reply to a post is necessarily being ignored. I've had messages from people, complimenting me on my posts or wishing to discuss a subject privately - whom don't, or rarely respond, publicly. Frankly, I'm used to it, as it occurs irl also, it always has for me. The whole clique debate that surfaces here I find a bit obfuscatory. Subgroups form it's not a case of there's a clique or not. Cliquey behaviours occur and fluctuate over time. When they peak there's a reaction to it. I suppose there's an argument - if your primary interest is to talk to an established friendship group - why not do it in a private group, rather than on a public platform? But personally I feel no ways about it. I just have an interest in human behaviours. | |||

Some people cross over between them, as they're social butterflies, and don't mind travelling the country to see friends or make new friends. You have to put effort into being part of a friendship group. Or at least keep posting crap people respond. | |||

"I've said in various threads that there are definitely cliques across fab and especially among forum users. Apart from the flirting on serious threads there is a certain segment who take great pleasure in verbally attacking newbies for asking questions or in giving them little or no leeway for their opinions while sucking up to the more established posters for saying exactly the same thing. Obviously there will be groups of friends who get carried away and forget they are coming across as excluding others but as so many including me have experienced there are also chatgroups aimed solely at only being inclusive to a select few while proactively excluding others. Anyone who has been here long enough are aware of these groups and anyone who has been here long enough and claims to have no knowledge of them is usually a member of one or are happy to enable them. On every thread talking about forum users everyone misses there are a handful of names that pop up and yet so many other people's experiences of those characters is anything but positive. As mods have said often enough, no-one can get someone else banned from the forums. Only their own words and actions can do that so if those lovely people aren't able to post in the forums anymore that speaks volumes to their true character."

"Those categorically denying the absence of the totally obvious cliquish behaviour that's displayed regularly in the lounge are just a mystery to me. Have you never seen a thread derailed and realised it's often the same people? Have you never seen a new profile get flensed for daring to make a statement or ask a question that's not on the approved list? Different crowd but a regular occurrence. Then there's sly and snide running commentary from the usual suspects. You can tell the ones that are in chat groups together. The thing is that this is all completely normal forum behaviour and anyone who doubts that should visit mums net for a few hours. It's to be expected so whatever way you want to deal with it, it's best of deal with it. So ignore, work around it, call it out or blow right through it. Just get what you want out of it. " Oh I call it out. Receive a crap load of abuse in private messages, report them, yet they are all still here, I guess their “fiver”’is worth more then mine | |||

"I’ve not been posting in the forums long enough to know who knows each other outside of here etc. so don’t always spot what’s going on! I just stick to the threads I’m interested in and the fun threads. If people interact with me that great, if not I’m still happily posting away to kill some time when I should be working mainly xx 😄 Some days there are loads of fun threads, other days I find there’s nothing I want to comment on so I don’t bother. I think this is the nature of forums and has certainly been the way in another forum I used to regularly use several years ago. Xx " Great attitude | |||
