OK, I'm going to create a bit of a stir here and maybe this thread is in relation to Tommy G's post's earlier (however I do feel you are a lil insecure - Tommy G that is).

There is a click on this forum, and I guess rightly so, for those who have been posting on here for a length of time, met up, been home and away with Leicester, however!

I do feel certain people could be a lil more welcoming to new comers, take into consideration not everyone on the board has the intelect of some!

I think some people should adopt a sence of decorum and humility rather than take the p1ss of those less fortunate, vunerable, excited about current situations and most of all show some tact.

Stop trying to get one over on each other.

Yes i am a bit drunk and think your all a bunch of cock-le-nod-wad-slits :)

Nope i meant click, as in click me finger kind sir! I rest my case!

that must be a pretty poor case then...

of course there, are a cliques on this forum, it is a ntural social occurence, but as a rule (in my experience) they are not completely elitist, and will not blank someone if they have a response they feel worth posting.

for example, the person who gets, unquestionably, the most stick (stique) on this board is thracian, but even those who he suggests are cliquey still interact with him.

foxes talk, by it's very masculine nature, is a great sea of pisstaking, but almost always it is in jest (naturally, it does go too far sometimes) - for example in the thread you refer to, tommy g and I both made the same complaint and both got a bit of stick, i laughed it off and nothing else was said, Tommy G took it on and got a bit more stick... and, for the record i have met ManPabs socially and he still called me tedious in that thread (hopefully in jest :unsure: ), so there is no case that newbies are the only ones who have the piss taken.

there are groups of friends on this forum, it's a local forum, for local people - and some wear their colours very clearly. one simply has to learn to live with it.

the main group of seasoned posters do have an odd understanding of each other, and will respond often in a very 'inside' way, but as with anything on here you just have to learn what you want to read and what to skip over. for example, if you don't want to read some random obscure reference to something you've never heard of, don't open a TPH thread on a friday... if you don't want to read about pale young men with lank hair and guitars, avoid a smuts post... if you don't want astute and valid appraisal of the merits of oasis, ignore my posts....

got it? good. now lets get back to the bitching and namecalling, where is that twat raj, fooking parenthood, what kind of an excuse is that for not posting---

Personally I disagree. For a start whenever I see someone posting one of their first posts I say welcome...but obviously that's not what you mean.

You talk about this clique....i.e. the regular posters....TPH, Mablo, Ched, LD3 etc...

Would you rather they pretended they didn't know each other?

The first post suggests that like all newcomers are hated or whatever, but i think you're just generalising it. I doubt any posters on here are 'hated' and in a few examples a few newcomers might get questioned about something or be the subject of a joke or two but that's just life.

I've been on here two years and I've had a lot of stick, but am I going to make a thread to say 'he's picking on me 'cause I'm a newbie'?

I'll give you lots of exapmles.

About a year ago, when I was still technically a newbie, and I'll concur with it actually looking back at some of my posts then....I was a bit of an annoying twat. For a few months I went over the top to try and make every post funny, which was obviously naive and pissed a lot of people off. I think it was Walkers who picked me up on this (and I'm glad looking back that he did), told me that it annoyed him etc and rightfully called me a pr*ck. He didn't make a new thread about it, or PM me, he just replied to one of my posts and said what he thought...I learnt from it. What if he hadn't of done that? I would of just continued to be a pr*ck, unaware it was annoying the tits out of everyone.

I learnt from it...moved on, didn't make a thread about how I wasn't being accepted in the FT world etc 'cause it's bollocks. At the end of the day, it's all banter...If you can't cope with it, then you really don't need to be here.

In my case, there's lots of examples: My whole girlfriend issues/lovelife etc, the Faryl Smith and 'i like 12 year olds, i'm a paedo' thing, the fact that I thought the world was going to end....and there's more blah blah blah. So? I'm not going to cry about it and PM them or make a thread to slag them off.

While I'm on it, some people have said that being younger than most people (sort of 15/16) means you're not taken seriously, people don't listen, people take the piss more etc, which i've never really understood. If this is true, it's only because as the 'younger' ones we make more naive comments...that if not picked up on we'd continue to do.

I don't think anyone can be a regular poster on this forum but never get replied to, or never get picked up on something.

So what if you're not in this 'click'? I'm not, and does it stop me getting along with some people....?

If you can't take banter, and would rather people 'adopt a sence of decorum and humility rather than take the p1ss of those less fortunate, vunerable, excited about current situations' then you're in the wrong forum.

If we all adopted a sense of 'decorum and humility', this might as well be a Jane Eyre book club or something. A lot of people include banter and whatever. It's hardly ever taken that far, or out of context.

In fact, it's only taken far or out of context when the poster subjected to the banter can't take it.

Well I am disappointed I am not part of an click or clique.

You will find me in the corner, throwing toys out of my pram. I might even go as far as spitting out my dummy.

I think we are in it, but don't realise.

BTW Thracian does get lots of "stique" on this forum, but the majority of the "clique" have met him and believe he is a really nice guy who goes on a bit too much on certain issues, however we understand that he is passionate about LCFC like all of us and respect him for that. :thumbup:

I do believe some things on here are a bit personal, but some deserve "stique" with the shilo that comes into the forum from their posts. The other stuff is gentle rib tickling awaiting a reaction :thumbup:

NSLL says a lot, some of which is exceptional

It would appear that some people take this whole clique thing too personally. There are obviously groups of people who have known each other for some time and some who have met as a result of being on here. There are those who would have you believe that cliques exist where they don't.

I like some people's posts, I don't like others.

Personally, I've met some top people from here and there are people that I wouldn't lose sleep over should I never meet them. I'm sure that goes for everyone. If you come on here and expect to have every one of your posts roundly applauded then you are in for a rude awakening.

One thing that has really struck me about this place though is that there are some geniuinely passionate and thoughtful people around and the maturity and all round knowledge of some of the "under 21's" (to use a clique reference) has impressed me greatly.

I'm the sole member of the Bellend Sebastian clique. It's brilliant.

You should all be WELL jealous

You were voted out.

You are now cliqueless.

Only thing I see is when there is a thread and certain people post, other people will quote them and ask them something totally unrelated to the topic, then others will join in and the topic gets, well, pointless and off topic :blink::huh:

BTW, nice post NSLL, very brave and self-aware, i remeber that you did used to be really annoying for soem reason, but you have definately sorted yourself out since you became NSLL - what were you called before?

I don't think I could pin anyone down into a clique accurately and I don't think this place is exactly rife with any kind of social problem but if gun to my head I had to point out two issues, the first would be that newer members get a hostile response for saying certain things that I think a regular would get away with (Making jokes, being flippant, that sort of thing). The second would be that I regularly see threads full of random nonsense posted by certain ones that, while often being pretty funny and harmless, I reckon a newer member would get slated for and have the thread locked as a result of it.

Some people take this place far too seriously, it's only the internet FFS. If somebody gives you 'stique' give them some back. It's only banter most of the time anyway.
