"Speaking as a sarcastic mischevious argumentative stroppy git.... I thought OP had been around longer than that and seemed to be getting stuck in and giving as good as she got. Which just goes to show that I'm not as perceptive as I thought I was. . . . The thing about these forums, is that we each take turns to write something that may or may not be twaddle. Either way, somebody somewhere will think it is and say so. Sooner or later, everyone says something that is twaddle, so we all get a turn pointing out the flaws in each others characters. Then we have sex. It's not perfect, but it works! " ffs theres sex as well.which thread. | |||

Then we have sex. It's not perfect, but it works! " Have been posting for about 4 weeks and in the last couple of days have answered a couple of posts in a manner that i am not used to as I was feeling a tad cross. I didn't like the way I responded and this has also led to my feeling of disappointment that I went down to that level. Hence the reason for my OP. | |||

"In all honesty it took me about 3 months to feel comfortable on here and it wasn't until I realised that I was the only one stopping me from expressing my opinions and joining in that I finally relaxed. Now I just post what I want, within the rules of course, and if anyone has a problem with that then that's exactly what it is. THEIR problem " Couldn't agree more! | |||

"I have been on this site for a few months, in the last few weeks I have been reading lots of the threads be they old or new. I have commented on a few. Unfortunately I admit to being a little nervous about posting due to the way some people respond and participate in a sarcastic and bitter way. I have used forums many times and have never before been nervous to do so, and am saddened by the way some people feel the need to belittle others who have opposing opinions (not yet to myself but I am sure it will happen) I am not surprised that in the last few weeks I have seen very little in the way of new names on posts within the forums, it makes the forum appear quite unwelcoming. I am sure that this is not anyone's intention and it may be that I am the only relatively new person who feels this. It is disappointing and disheartening and although I intend to continue reading the forums it makes me think twice before commenting on a thread. I am sure my post will be shot down and am not entirely sure why I am doing it but then just felt I had to get it off my chest. I am now getting off my soap box and going to make a cuppa. Have a good evening everyone. " An interesting viewpoint but in all honesty its a a little off the mark. For a start you wont get the general public popping on this site as its a small niche area with only a small percentage of people swinging. So your not going to get 10 new posters a day. In general most on fab are here to get meets. Secondly the forums have changed over the last year. Many have left and many new ones join. In general though you get a higher than average percentage of regular users on here. The fact that many go to the social events reinforces them as friends and more than a picture on a forum. New posters, well over the last 2-3 months i personally think we have had a few. People come in small waves though not at a steady rate though. I assume your trying to make the point that sometimes they aren't very welcoming at times. That is true i would agree but you will always find a few on here who involve new people if they are jovial, friendly and don't come bearing teeth. Say hello when you have had your cuppa | |||

"Are there rules, written down somewhere, for the forums?" There are some some place but they are not as obvious as on some sites. If in doubt ask rugby as she is the fountain of all knowledge on here. | |||

Say hello when you have had your cuppa " That is so accurate. A newbie cannot enter an established community and start 'baring his or her teeth', as BigBad put it, as soon as they arrive. You can liken it to an established circle of friends who have met up in a public place and an unknown outsider attempts to join them but instead of saying, "Hi, do you mind if I join you?", they come out with, "Oi fuckfaces, what's the crack?" They'll soon get told where to go, and this is just the same. I've noticed quite a few new forumites arrive in the two years I've been here who have treaded water lightly for a while, waited until they've understood the person they are answering a little better and then joined in fully. And been accepted as part of the crowd. We take the piss out of each other, sure, and to some it may seem sarcastic, rude or outright horrible even, but we know the people we're taking the piss out of, and expect it in return. | |||

Not always the case at all!! I have skin as thick as rhino hide and as water resiliant as any duck, and I've often not commented further on some posts because of the rudeness by people I don't know. Hardly surprising some people find these forums unfriendly, I do at times, no escaping that, no matter how you may try to pretty it up! | |||

There's a marked difference in how "friends" disagree to how some react to someone outside their circle. But hey...it's Friday and I'm feeling the love! | |||
