You know, it's often newbies who complain/comment on the 'cliques' in here. But I'm sure I'm not the only 'oldie' who sometimes feels right out of it, on the forum AND in the chatroom.
It's not always possible to make a comment on a thread that hasn't already been made - if it's a topic that's been done before, people may have said previously, what they think. That's nothing to do with who started the thread but newbies seem to become paranoid that their threads aren't being posted on. Then they think it's because of a 'clique'.
Oh, and Niceandgentle, I don't feel as if I've 100% arrived either.
You don't feel that FB after over 8,000 posts?Wow!
My recent first attempt at starting a thread in ages flopped and got locked in a jiffy (and no,it wasn't an offensive topic!)
I feel blank about how I could start one that would be accepted now.I await that thread starter lightbulb over my head lol!
No need to feel like that oh-hunkified-one!
Lots of the sites' more 'prolific' posters don't actually start many threads
It's not about who starts the thread but what the thread is about. The more people that can get involved-the better :)I have had locked threads, but the most recent one I posted (Hunks or Pin-ups) is still open at 6 pages or so :)

You've made my weekl!
