Craig 6682 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Put yourself in his position, his forum has been slagged, what do you expect him to post assuming you accept he has a right to post? Are you expecting him to sing the praises of this forum? 58663[/snapback] I'm making no comments on this whatsoever, and that's not just to disprove the above theory. TBH I'm totally sick of the whole thing. Comments are made about other websites, it's a fact of life - as I have said before, if you're going to run a website/forum, you've got to accept that you're going to get criticism, no matter how much you don't like it. People don't like N-O - so what? People don't like Toontastic - so what?? Neither place will die as both will retain a core member base. As was said from the outset, Toontastic was never intended to be a competitor to Newcastle-Online, it was designed to offer the people who missed what they enjoyed about the original Toontastic/Toon-Chat the opportunity to enjoy it again. That included to some degree a cliquey-ness so I don't think that can be seen as a criticism of the site. I tend to look at it as 'job done'. Sure I'd like to see it a little bit busier but beggars can't be choosers. If one day it does die, I'll accept it and move on to something new - I've learned things out of doing it so I won't be slitting my wrists. It won't die though 58685[/snapback] Good post actually. But how do new members become part of the clique? At some point you surely must want to attract some new members? 58693[/snapback] You say that as though I don't normally make good posts! We do get new members, all the time and a fair few of them post - there's no membership to a clique. TBH, I'd say that I wasn't part of it and more on the periphery. Doesn't stop me posting though, nor does it make me feel like I shouldn't post but then again, I tend to rise above that kind of bullshit. 58697[/snapback] I've always wanted to be part of the clique. I tried desperately to fit in with different groups; first by joining the GRC, then by slating it. Now I don't think I fit in anywhere. I even dragged dotbum to this site, and he's more part of the clique than me Craig mate, we've got our own clique, and we don't need anyone else. 58703[/snapback] You two are the same person aren't you? 58705[/snapback] Talk about a gag that's been done to death....

Gemmill 44868 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Re the "clique", what exactly is a clique on a message board other than a group of people that share a similar sense of humour? Nobody's excluded as far as I'm concerned, but it's natural that certain people gravitate together, just as in a pub people who get on will sit together and that. If anyone turns up on here it's not like they have to go through an initiation to be accepted or anything - I don't think of any members on here as outsiders or non-members of the "clique". I'm not sure why the "cliqueyness" is considered such a big criticism tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've praised this board, some of the members and such too, so it's not as if it's petty or tit for tat because N.O got criticised either. Anyway, like I said, people who know me enough know I don't hold grudges or anything like that. I might be a pest and many things, but a cunt I'm not.
