not only me saying theres a clique in ere,, open ya eyes and read the previous threads. i got a 1month ban for opening my mouth when someone put me down,how come that happend to me but not to the other person...............cos theres a clique dats why

So are you saying the mods/ops are in on this clique as well? (seeing regular members can't ban people)

Did i say dat?? did it sound like dat ?? er dont think so ..
Well actually I didn't say you did - I asked if that was what you were saying.
Did it sound like 'dat'? Actually yes it did. It did because you used the example of you being banned as proof of a clique and it is mods/ops who ban people - not regular members. Hence me asking if you then beleived they were part of the so called clique.

theres the prove, people only wana read wot they want to read an not wot anyone thinks, that constitutes a clique enviroment i think ...

Proof of what?
Proof that someone asked to clarify what you were saying means there is a clique?
Someone reading something as it stands is proof there is a clique?
Interpretation means there is a clique?
Do you know what the word 'clique' means ? confused
funny enought ermmm....yep i know wot it means, it also seems a few more peolpe do as well. Im not the only one who has said ot seem like theres a clique in here, but as usaul since i voiced my opionions, i have a whole load of people disputing my opion but thats not a problem, i do see both sides just tryin to voice my side without gettin up anyones nose .
Mine is a general forum, not just this one, dislike.
When there is a debate, argument call it what you will and you get the "thats just total bollocks " reply.
That then often winds people up and it starts getting personal or nit picking.

Sometimes, just sometimes, someone comes along and you just know you are wasting your time explaining an alternative point of view in a sensible manner or debating a point objectively, due to the other party tossing in unsubstantiated claims and grossly exaggerated statements. In those circumstances it is hard to summon the will to write anything other than...
That is total bollox!

don't tell me to open my eyes....i've been using this site for over two years....if i thought there a clique i'd say it....if you got a 1 month ban then there must have been good reason,maybe you over stepped the mark that the other person hadn' find that the mods are bloody damn fair and not swayed in anyway by anyone trust me!
He was banned for calling Calista a sad fucker, I think.

There is a clique, there has always been a clique, I was part of that clique for awhile, yet the names in that clique change, today's clique is different to the clique I was part of which kinda suggests that the clique is a constantly shifting and changing one, which suggests by definition...there isn't a clique :shock:

least not a clique as good as the old clique eh?? wink
Quote by davej
Anyway who gives a fuck about that, taint an argument I want to get into. I don't have hates, if I did I wouldn't bother, but like everyone else there are things I don't like…. …..if the cafe is dull and boring and in my opinion it very often is (someone sack the clique and get a new one in ) then there are folk that will go search around in there for a post and often under the guise of 'offering advice' pull the post/thread around. They know its not advice they are really giving, I know its not as well and just don't understand it.

And the mods who aren’t mods but who wish they were mods and trawl the forum like, err…..mods confused
Quote by davej
Posting for postings sake. Fookin 'ell if I had a quid for every post that I've read that is so obviously done for no other reason than 'fuck the keys are in front of me I just gotta hit them' I'd have enough to resign and realise my dream of taking my team of mountain rescue dogs and setting up in Holland.

irony, the old clique would have pounced on that descriptive davej lol

That said its like most things in life, if it wasn't serving a purpose I would move on so it's still better than the telly.

It's on its' arse basically.
Pages used to renew so quickly but now the same threads are here for days.

And at times they don’t get anymore exciting when they are read days later either..
Quote by Scandal
Clique or no clique, there's definitely plenty of bandwagoning going on.
It's either by people who haven't got the balls to say something until someone else says it or by people who repeat what others have said cos they think that's what people want to hear.

Hmmm……you may be onto something there Sherlock
Quote by Scandal
There's fewer characters around and more "lowest common denominator" threads.
There's too much assumption that everyone thinks the same way, has the same values and tastes.

I’ll go with that ………
It’s not the same for me anymore either but that doesn’t mean its any better or worse, just means it’s different. The new crowd who contribute to the ongoing threads obviously find it entertaining enough to keep them here and coming back for more and I dare say that for many just arriving they’ll be engrossed in this “cyber-community”. Maybe we’re just getting older Scandal and Davej??
Things are always seen as having been better when we were “back there”. I do actually believe that the “crowd”, “clique” whatever that existed when Fee and I started following the forum were second to none when it came to evenings spent with the banter flowing and I can’t ever see the quality of threads being repeated tbh.
Quote by Scandal
People should have the bollox to say what they think or join

It never fails to amaze me that certain people (Not a dig at you at all Scandal) still hold the belief that their opinion is of such importance that if you fail to agree with it then you are merely one of the “sheep”. I think that’s particularly sad for the individuals involved but their importance in my world is extremely non exsistant so I’ll not be losing any sleep over it.
That also applies to those who…

Anyway, my opinion for what little it is worth to others, is that the forum has evolved and obviously serves a useful purpose to those who maintain their participation in it.
That's the problem with evolution though, history shows the dinosaurs got really fucked off with it!

This was the exchange - she didn't deserve to be called that. She wasn't abusive - she questioned your comments regarding timewasters, that's all.
Quote by sxi4uall

and even if it was memebers there are timewasters on here lol

Now you see comments like that absolutely piss me off! mad :x
You've been here 5 months, and made a "few" posts!
You've spoken to 499,000 people on here have you? Been let down by all those people? know that all those people are looking for exactly the same thing as you?
No??? thought not!
So how the fuck can you label everyone as timewaster?

In response to:
Why do you love the forum?
(And if you don't... please start your own thread! lol wink)

So if you hate the forums or something about the forums pisses you off then now's the time to speak up. With any luck we may be able to come up with a solution to the biggest hates.
Come on, no holding back... :twisted:
If people hate the Cafe or aspects of it & the 'way things are done' (and sufficiently so to feel the need to incite or create a thread inviting others to slate it) I'd ask why the fuck are you here and posting on it anyway? There are other areas of the site in which they may feel more at home.
I'm all for voicing your opinion, but in this case I really cant see the point of this thread, other than dangling a carrot, for those who do like and enjoy the forum, to bite.

Quote by Scandal
The continuous use of the Royal "we" i.e it's not the way we do it here, has a pejorative effect on new people. There's developed a self continuing "us-ness" about the place which involves the continuous use of
hump, :therethere: and :bounce: and the tedious overposting of a small number of people desperate to see ANY response to their posts, usually by going to extreme lengths of over familiarity.

Yep, noticed all that, but in fairness that's been prevelant since you were a regular forumite. Just seems to have grown in importance of late.

The result is that the forum homers are the only ones here, the dinosaurs....
