IMO it's no more cliquey than it's ever been.When I first joined I felt just the same as Frizz did and it's as M.E.2 says "it's full of different people and you will not appreciate the postings of some" so come on down and join in the fun



Well said Frizz

well said,I would go one step further and say of late it's better than ever ,with a lot of 'new' members feeling at ease to enter the arms and join in .........come on down

I just want to add that I was also terrified of stepping foot in the Arms until fairly recently, and in fact I found myself there quite by accident when either Judi or Glad (sorry forget which of you it was now) moved a thread from in here to there :eek:

Having dipped my toe in the water, so to speak, I lurked for a couple of weeks before posting anything, as like many have mentioned, it appeared to be quite a cliquey group, but once I plucked up the courage to post I was made to feel most welcome and it didn't take long to integrate with the regulars there. There's some great people posting in the Arms, and they're very friendly when you get to know them :A

The same can be said about OS though, and I've seen references recently saying that we're a cliquey bunch here, which just isn't true!!!! It's just that when people hang out with a certain bunch they become familiar with each other and to outsiders it can appear cliquey, but I can assure you it's not, neither in here or at the Arms, and everyone is welcome to join in

Exactly,to me cliquey is when a group already entrenched...........actively discourages new comers from joining and that can't be said of the Arms or OS:D

I think the main thing is newcomers can't quite believe how friendly this forum can be .......therefore think it has to be cliquey............but stick your toe in and you'll find it's just nice and friendly;)
