it's not worth anyone posting here unless you are in with the "crowd"
it's like being invisible
sorry to mention it..but it's been on my mind a while
just my opinion
probably won't get a response anyway

I'll respond EC1
It's something I often used to find and it certain areas it still is, however many are just a bit tongue in cheek and its best not to take to heart.
Some stand out like a sore thumb but keep on posting and always state your beliefs, even if no one agrees, its your own opinion and that counts for more than anything, never go back on what you feel.
thanks Chris
I weren't having a go at anyone..just a bit frustrating sometimes
it might be worth taking on board though as new members are lifeblood of a forum..and to be honest it's quite hard to break into the "crowd" here
this place is no different from other boards..or groups of folk..that know each other...an outsider has to struggle a bit etc
it's just a view I thought you guys should know about
Come on and talk sense and everyone will not only listen to you, they'll love you.
Illegitimi non carborundum
I should say perhaps EC, I don't regard myself as part of an 'in crowd' in any way what so ever. I've only met a few of the members on here, and then only very fleetingly, I could probably count them on one hand in honesty. I suppose over a period time you start to build up a sense of familiarity etc You know what buttons to press to generate what response, and who will bite on various subjects, but for the most part, 99.5% of my correspondance/ interaction remains strictly cyber. Indeed I can only imagine what some of them look like, but over a period of time you build up an idea based on little nuggets they leave. I rarely get into hate or even dislike mode with it (frustration, and disapproval from time to time? yes - but that's different). God I can even put up with my old sparring partner from the general chit chat threads. I must admit though, I spent about 6 - 9 months watching the dynamics and interactions before getting involved
Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly. _ Harry Limes
Most forums, whether racing-orientated or not, can seem a little cliquey at times. This one is about average, I'd say. Trf is similar, no worse no better, but with a twist: whenever Ms Hislop turns up, as she does occasionally, the masturbatory rush of gentlemen posters thinking that she's physically there wanting to be their friend can be quite embarrassing.
I get that when Spoons posts.
I could be the judge!
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
Can seem a bit cliquey from time to time, but I have always found that if you have a point to make, and are prepared to make it in a logical manner, that you will stimulate debate/discussion..
Making points in a logical manner is one thing bound to rattle a clique!

I cant agree mate ....it WAS very much a clique! on here prior to the exodus.. but I am speaking as one of the original members of this forum....
But please don't stop here... tell us more, I personally do not belong to any clique!
and post as an individual with no other member either backing me or me them ...
I stand alone and always have on the racing boards that I am a member of and have done so in excess of 12 yrs now..............

And that small head knew that Impaire Et Passe would win the Champion Hurdle."

London W11
Holland Park,

Spot on Chris.It's something I often used to find and it certain areas it still is, however many are just a bit tongue in cheek and its best not to take to heart.
To be honest I am not sure what else can be done to remove the "cliquey" label that has come with this forum in the past. I think a couple of years ago it might well have been valid or had some foundation but not anymore. The forum has done it's bit, now its up to the individual members to pull their socks up, be brave and get stuck in.
