Teresa I just read what you said back on the other page about if newbies were made to feel more welcome in the first place

I don' t understand , can you tell me what that is about ?

maybe when people have been giving a newbie a lot of family history help on the 'help' boards like happens all day they should also say 'why not come and join us for a cuppa on the chat board' ? :-)

Well, all I can say is you are welcome on any threads on here......I know this because I have tried going on them and have always been welcomed. We don't all know each other, but gradually get to know more which leads to more confidence .......

Sheesh......hark at me rabbiting on.....I bet everyone is on the next page by now

:-D

But you have to dip your toe in the water eventually. Never judge a book by it's cover and all that.

Ok I'm Teresa, I'm 22 years old, tall, slim, drop dead gorgeous and loaded.

well the problem is though that if it looks cliquey to someone looking then that' s how it looks to them :-)

I sat and watched the boards for months before daring to post...but once I'd taken the plunge I was made to feel welcome and able to join in the fun.

The thing with an internet forum like this is that in the beginning at least, nobody knows anyone who is posting. Many of us do know each other in real life now,but that's because of meets, which everyone is more than welcome to when they happen.

Thats the nice thing about t'internet...you make new friends, and some of them become more than 'internet friends', you get to know them for real too.

You can always talk to any of us.

I do know what you mean but it really isn't that bad :-D

normally I keep off my friends threads because they are quicker than me and most of the time I am laughing too much to make any sense.

On the debate threads.....believe me....we don't always agree with each other.....but there are ways of saying things that don't upset other posters.

Just join in......

Sometimes I look into very long threads and start to read the content......It always amazes me as to how interesting/funny they can be.

I think when jumping into these threads it is best to introduce oneself first though......tis just being polite.

:-) :-)

It can be disconcerting if someone looks into a thread and the posters seem to be talking about nonsense that others find hilarious.

Please ask why they are talking about 'whatever' you'll be told the background and then join in :-D :-D

Some of us just love other nutters ;-)

Chrissie I think it's always 'looked' cliquey...but really isn't, I watched for ages first and thought everyone must know each other in 'real life' too as they seemed so much a 'group'...but when I posted everyone seemed friendly ( Teresa was one of the first to 'speak' to me )
