theinsider Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Sorry Wolfie and Eagle... it took me so long to type the reply to Adam that I missed your posts. You two seem in fine spirits today and have your lighter and more amusing heads on I see. These two are joined at the hip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 We are both going to America on a touring holiday next year. Not that we like America it's just that it's the only chance Eagle gets to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I see it's stopped snowing. I think this comment just about sums up what the issue is! The hostility of certain posters on here drives others away! I agree, why don't you stop doing it? Kettle calling pot black! Doesn't the kettle like snooker?

safeway56 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Time for some honest comment...the reason for the non-posters is this site has become cliquish...It seems around half a dozen people regard it as their private chat room and any new name or infrequent user is regarded as something of an interloper and is ignored.

I don't think that new or infrequesnt posters are treated like that at all either Saferway. It's great when new people come on here and join in or start new chats.... like a breath of fresh air and great to hear other peoples views too... However, I do agree with you about it possibly looking rather ?clicky? to anyone new looking in with the same people seeming to chat and discuss things all the time. Yep I'm guilty of that Also the more heated moments or disgreements depending on views (which the more regular posters are used to and just take it on the chin) could possibly look rather daunting and off putting to new members or those just looking in as could the way that topics go completely off track all the time. Yep I'm guilty of that too I guess a lot of us have got used to each others little 'ways' with words etc and we all know that it is nothing personal and is just how forums are but it takes time for others to realise that I guess. Another thing is that new posters probably register because a particular topic has caught their eye. Maybe they disagree with what is being said so that?s why they join. But of course when something is in ?mid flow? they are sort of jumping in at the deep end so may feel a little out of it all or things may seem a bit one sided. Because of this they then maybe ?go? and don't get round to joining in with the more light hearted and general discussions on here which can be really interesting too. Anyway? yet another long post by me has probably scared anyone off who was thinking about joining.... infact maybe I'm the one who's putting everyone off Would be great to get a lot more people posting on here though as Obs, Peter, Wolfie and Eagle are all boring me now I'M KIDDING chaps honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Would be great to get a lot more people posting on here though as Obs, Peter, Wolfie and Eagle are all boring me now Seeing as my name wasn't in your list....

reader Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Many posters will post on a topic or reply to a topic they are interested in. I am not a prolific poster and was an "early joiner" to the forum. I read it every day bot dont post often. There are quite a few on here who may post daily with what I terms as one word or liners, ie: yes or no which of course quickly brings the thread count up.

Dizzy Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Can't say I noticed them Many posters will post on a topic or reply to a topic they are interested in.I am not a prolific poster and was an "early joiner" to the forum. I read it every day bot dont post often. There are quite a few on here who may post daily with what I terms as one word or liners, ie: yes or no which of course quickly brings the thread count up. If you read every day why don't you post more often, is there any particular reason? (If you don't mind me asking of course) You're not my dad are you He says he used to come on here and occasionally posted but now he tends to just read. I don't know what his username was/is cos he wont tell me ..... maybe he had a go at me once and doesn't want me to know it was him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Reader has been on this board since it's concept and if my memory serves me well, he was on the original board as well. It has always been the same. You have your regulars and you have the Hokey Cokey bunch who come and go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Your dodgy knee's been fixed no hasn't it Peter.... maybe you should try the Hokey Cokey and see if you can do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
