New Members

[dotti34]

One definition of the word ‘forum’ according to the Oxford Dictionary, is ‘An Internet site where users can post comments about a particular issue or topic and reply to other users' postings; a message board’. While I shouldn’t think it’s imperative that every member makes comments, on the other hand if no one did then it wouldn’t be the interesting, sometimes controversial and often very amusing forum that it is – but would simply be a club……

…and while on the subject of definitions, the word ‘clique’ (again according to the Oxford Dictionary) is ‘a small close-knit group of people who do not readily allow others to join them’. Accyweb on the contrary always extends a warm welcome to new members, and new and old alike can put their bob’s worth in at any time. Therefore, Accyexplorer, the word ‘clique’ does not apply.

Anyway, do you know any family that lives in perfect harmony and agrees on every subject all the time…I don’t! It would be very boring.

Hey, Guiness - read your post re the 'old folk' with interest, and me being in that category all I can say is that they don't make drinkers like they used to. Those were the days when 'hollow legs' were the norm. Some old timers would have put you to shame (and I'm not confessing to anything!).

I agree,I've never said I don't like the site D or that I want anything to change etc (well maybe less's attitude to some members) ,In fact I enjoy the site just the way it is.My posts may seem like I'm whining about the forum but I can assure you and others that's not the case.
I also like adding my "bobs worth" now and again (for those who hadn't noticed)

On a side note,MP also assures me it's not a "clique"......it's a "family" so from now on I won't be using the C bomb

...My posts may seem like I'm whining about the forum

You are going to be waiting for quite some time for that to happen, you made a grand speech the other day you know the one, you finished it with 'sod off'.
Well I did as you asked, I ignored you all day it was easy. Then you came back on and started all over again, so may I just say, no, YOU sod off.

Not all your posts make you seem like you are whining, some of them make you seem a complete moron.

All of your input to this thread can be used as an example of this.

I thought it was a sensible question because there is reasonable answers. There is no need for all of this clique crap yet again.

 

[Margaret Pilkington]

If it was a clique.....I am sure that after almost ten years as a member......I would have inveigled myself in by now.
I get quite upset when people talk about a clique.....why?
Because I'm not in it......and if there was one......I would want to be in the sacrosanct inner circle.....I'm fed up of being just a pleb(goes away to sulk).

Apparently you don't spend enough time down the railway on a sat afternoon for that

Neither do I!

I keep dropping hints to Mick but so far he hasn't obliged.

Perhaps when he no longer classes me as a Newbie?

 

[Accyexplorer]

And maybe there are some dickheads that just annoy people that get stick?

Maybe your right C,however I don't think less means to be annoying it's just a natural talent of his

 

[Restless]

Don't worry about it less, as acccyex so kindly pointed out. You still have your trainset to play with

I will try and be in the Railway today with the initiation set including the limp celery and the moldy cheese

Wow, how nearly funny!


How long are you going to ignore the comments of others in your quest to prove yourself our village idiot?

Maybe you are making only one point ... restating it in different words (far too many words) doesn't make the point any sharper.

I was a new member once. Can't remember any serious hazing. Stating that certain members of some infamous (and non-existent) clique are lying in wait, ready to pounce, claws out, on those making tentative steps into an unfamiliar environment is a crock of horse manure.

Being a lover of attention that he is and the way he goes about getting it, you can expect a like from him, you read all of that post.

If that is all you've got - limp celery(the devils food) and mouldy cheese.....I'll stay a pleb a bit longer

Now now less,don't get your knickers in a twist so early in the morning,it's not good for your blood pressure.
Eric's entitled to his opinion as are all our members (family or not).

I take it the answer to my question in on your profile guest list is a no?
And there was me thinking you might actually be a alright guy after reading your blog

Remember me? I'm the one with the pictorial imagination...and the picture I have in my head right now...well, let's just say, it's not pretty!

Indeed, it allows you to talk it at the same time as you do it.

Though the advertisers could give it a slight boost:-

Take one mobile device into the bathroom?
No, take two!​

I agree, if he had said "Having a good crap" yeh probably wouldn't have pictured it. Naughty Restless.

You really do repeat yourself don't you? Why not ask your carer for some help with your next witticism?

Eric's opinion is possibly one that you should, really consider worthwhile.

I take it the answer to my question in on your profile guest list is a no?

Here for those that would like to see his question it is below, if you would rather give him the benefit of the doubt and hope that he isn't so stupid, look away now.

I don't suppose I can join the clique...oops, I mean family?

Well, to be honest with you I hadn't seen it, you see there are two or three ways into the profile I don't nip in on the one where idiots can attempt yet another way of showing themselves up. Don't worry though I won't be deleting it, I'll leave it there so that other members can see how easily you make a pillock of yourself.

And there was me thinking you might actually be a alright guy after reading your blog

Please excuse me, I'm just going to take my own advice and report you.

Might I also suggest that the members now start taking some of the responsibility themselves?
How many times has someone posted on a thread, 'why haven't the mod's done anything?'.

Well if you don't report it they can't do anything, YOU can police the site, YOU can make a difference.
