Why is it that there asre certain "cliques" on this forum and if your an ad-hoc poster your either ignored or treated rudely?

So what if i dont check a certain board every single flamming day there's no need for it! I thought the point of this board was for advice/help/to point people in the right direction for moneysaving?!

(sorry! :o)

    I don't get it, I thought you were given some really good advice on your thread about your xmas party. Who's been rude to you?

    oh so this is about someones nose being out of joint?
    not an observation of the whole forum
    oh well
  • Yeah there are "cliques" on this forum and just about every other forum on the net.

    This forum tends to have the following

    The angry clique who have a very strong but usually wrong opinion about just about everything.

    The happy clique who are happy to just talk random nonsense to other random people on the net and have a giggle.

    The compensation clique. They will want to sue me for saying they are a clique and tell every other member of this elite club to write a letter to Martin Lewis about my post...... Dont forget to send it recorded delivery

    The wind up clique, Love to bait the angry and compo clique just because its fun and also very easy.

    There are more but I can't be bothered to type any more.

    I genuinely didn't understand 'clicks'! Cliques however I do...thanks Velcro! I don't think the clique thing is deliberate. It's just people with similar thoughts?

    Which is the OCC board?

    Maybe it is just that nobody had any advice that they thought would be useful to you rather than being part of a clique and deliberately ignoring you (which is what you seem to be implying).

    If you have taken offence at being ignored, then don't use the internet until you have toughened up a bit more.Or add bump to your post,preferably on a saturday morning
