" I've been on here for about 5yrs now and people have made reference to forum cliques since day one. Some people will comment on every thread and some will be more selective. It's easy to convince yourself that the regular posters are members of the "Forum Mafia" if they all post on a particular thread and even more if they are posting an opposite view to the thread author. | |||

" I was a newbie once n I can't recall feeling I was being excluded in any way Over time people get to notice regular posters but I don't think generally that anyone is given the cold shoulder. Some posts don't elicit a response but that may only be because no one has an opinion or comment to respond with at that particular time. I may of course be speaking from my throne in cloud cuckoo land lol | |||

More of lurky and I say why not some stunning ladies and couples on here One thing I find about the site is its not good for your emotionally health especially if shy fat bloke with low self esteem yet at same time addictive Hello to you all " Honey, anyone with low self-esteem has to raise it from the inside, no-one else can do it for you. If you rely on the kindness of others to boost your esteem you will as likely discover there are others who will do just the opposite. | |||

"We're long term lurkers and just getting into the swing of posting over the last few weeks. We've both learnt a tonne from the forums, especially when we were very nervous newbs. Reading the forums helped us to find answers to questions we had about swinging generally as well as helping us to know that everyone is nervous initially and that all sorts of people are enjoying the lifestyle for all sorts of different reasons! We love the variety of people here. Imho online forums are a bit like a lens placed over life, human nature and people generally. It takes all sorts and there's always drama and disagreements and that's ok as long as it doesn't go into the realms of bullying or victimisation. With that in mind it's really easy to take the written word out of context, it can be very difficult to put across and interpret/read tone. It's also very easy to transfer insecurities etc - skewing personal perceptions of posts. I've done the latter myself (Mrs) on bad days, on those days I don't post, close the tablet down and go do something else Overall we find the forums to be very friendly, informative and welcoming! So come on newbies and lurkers, jump in and join the mad fabulousness that is the forums xx" | |||
