My sister in law has a bald patch from where she had a clump of hair pulled out when she was younger :eek:

But thinking about it, you'd have to try really hard to pull a clump of my hair out !!

So, ladies, lets all be friends !! :ghugs:

Re: Introduce yourselves
 
Incognitas has resurrected this thread apparently to try to encourage some the many 'lurkers' to overcome their shyness, perhaps to register and even to post. I am one of those lurkers. May I give my reasons for not taking an active part in this forum. I apologise for the length of this identities first post but feel this needs to be said. No, I do not have multiple IDs.

This thread first appeared the day that we were invited by Russ to leave .com and join the new independent .co forum. I was one of those who came across and registered on the first day and even introduced myself on this very thread using using my old .com name. I can assure her that the problem is not one of shyness and my reregistering now is for the sole purpose of explaining why some of us do not wish to join in here.

One of the very first threads on this forum rapidly turned into an any subject " almost chat" thread, this became the most popular thread on the forum with thousands of posts. It was stopped and (I believe) deleted by the admins who said that this forum was a discussion forum and had not to be used for 'inane' chatting (my word not theirs).

Look at the forum now. The upper half of the thread list (General NTL) is still relevant and tries to be helpful. However in Duffy's Dorm, although there is still the occaisional interesting discussion, the situation has mostly degenerated into farce. You have husbands having conversations with their wives, fathers having chats with their daughters, People even posting their wedding photographs (I have no desire to look at my brother's wedding photos let alone those of a complete stranger). Just look at the titles of some of the threads, do they tempt the 'lurker' to come on in? No, not at all. In fact, they give a distinct impression of utter drivel.

Going down (in more ways than one) we arrive at the feedback section. I will pick just two of the threads to comment on from here. Firstly the discussion about whether to make public the giving of reps. As a completely disinterested party, from my viewing of this (and previous rep) threads, the rep system is, as someone suggested earlier, very much a nepotistic system and not really a reward to mark good service to the members. This thread has been dominated by those who it appears are those with most to lose if repping is visible to all.

Secondly, this thread, since it was 'bumped up' approximately 24 members have posted (not counting admins). One person has made 21 posts, one has made 12, one 7, one 5, four have made 3, five have made 2 and the rest 1.

This monopolisation by a very few is repeated throughout the entire botton half of the forum and regrettably the vast majority of those posts by the monopolisers are utterly boring rubbish.

I apologise again if I have offended some of you. When I was formerly a member, some of you became good friends but I am sorry to say that there is no way that I or some of my contacts, would ever become active members again whilst this situation continues. Now, having put my point of view forward and I hope given a valid reason why so many lurkers do not become posters, I will shrink back into the shadows and post no more.

If this is the case for most of the lurkers why do so many hang around the site?If there is nothing for them here why show so much interest?
I don't hang around a site unless I'm considering joining a site.If I've become disenchanted with a place, I leave never to return.
My aim was to get those who do want to be here to actually participate,to break the ice and to post.I wasn't aiming at those who can't stand the place.I just found it interesting that at times there are more 'guests' than members which is why I asked folk to register.
AS for the same few members posting so much,well that's what this little exercise was about to try and get others more involved.As I remember as a former .com member it was the very same social forums that had the most interest shown in them.If you find the postings boring rubbish why not submit some postings of your own and see how the site develops from there?Perhaps you could only post in the more technical forums.

As for the rep system well you are free to turn it off and not participate.However maybe instead of using in the manner that you think the majority use it you could actually use it in the way it should be used.You only have to rep those who do offer good technical expertise and no one else.Personally I wish there were more people participating as I find it hard to really give kudos to those who really are the most prolific at offering assistance because I can never find enough people that I haven't repped before getting back to someone who constantly gives excellent help.The more there are here on a regular basis the more I can truly rep those that deserve the kudos.Anyway you are the recipient of a....

Re: Introduce yourselves
 
I agree Incog... Yes there are a lot of social threads where members have a laugh.. Whats wrong with that ???

There are allso a lot of technical threads where some damb good advice and help is given. !!!

Its nice to have the fun parts of the forum - It stops this site just being technical and gives it an element of fun... This makes the forum a fun and productive place IMO....

If you have a genuine greivance with any of the members of the site, or with the site in general, why create a second ID (which, unless the first has been deleted, is a multiple ID) to complain? Why not use the original ID?

Well here goes... I tend to 'lurk' a bit, just taking in what's going on, getting some good tips, trying to expand my knowledge. I must say the reputation system helps to encourage people like myself to post more when we know it has helped in some way or our opinions are valued.

Well me........
Been involved with PC's since the Commodore PET days (rep point to the first who can remember what programming system they used). Iv'e been in Engineering Projects for 25 years, Electrical Systems and Chemical Plant Process Control design.
Last 5 years been a specialist in SAP (our enterprise wide system, 2,000 users in 4 countries on 3 continents) specialising in Project Systems module.
Experience in AutoCAD, Excel, Access etc. Also a certified Six Sigma Black Belt (another rep point to whoever knows what that's all about !)

Sounds a bit like a CV, sorry about that. :D

Fair point really, this site was not set up to be a duplicate of .Com, things were going awry with .Com and the Admins set this one up with a slightly different agenda.

General NTL ... A place where problems are discussed and solved to the best of the ability of the members ... and now with NTL staff helping out too, this can only get better.

Duffy's Dorm ... A place where members can discuss many different aspects about the things that affect them. There is laughter, fun, discussion, banter, etc etc. If there wasn't this would become a very boring forum. It's moderated well, and has become a community of like mided people.

Rep system is optional ... turn it off if you don't like it and hence, no need for you to be part of those threads.

The rep system exists ... live with it ... some use it as it was intended, some don't ... soooo what ... If this is the most important thing in your life, then I suggest you re-examing it.

In your opinion ..., but obviously not in theirs ... There hae been many threads of discussion about many different subjects, the ones I want to contribute to I do, the ones I don't I dont. Some subjects are very immotive, and one person will have an opinion and voice it vigourously, good for them, others will voice their opinion and leave .... this is discussion, and constructive arguing ... nothing wrong with that as far as I can see.

People are here because they enjoy the atmosphere and banter ... you obviously don't, good for you, maybe you will eventually find somewhere where you can sit comfortably, but I don't think wthis will ever be like .COM ... ever.

It's a valid reason why some short sighted, anally retentive people may decide not to post, but why still lurk ????. If you don't like it as much as you say, what's the point in staying.

I for one enjoy it here, it's varied, educational, helpful, and most of all fun. If it wasn't, it would become very boring.

Re: Introduce yourselves
 
I have been mulling lone lurkers post over for a day or two.
I suppose that this forum would appear to be more 'professional' (for want of a better word) if we didn't have duffys dorm and members here spouting off about all sorts of rubbish but it would also make this forum as dull as the mcafee forums.
In addition, the general 'chattiness' of this place encourages members to hang around more and that makes it easier to get more help faster for any problems (not just ntl ones). Wich can only be a good thing.

Mick 24-02-2004 11:23

Re: Introduce yourselves
 
The post by 'lone lurker' sorry, 'Drudge' is not an attack on the forum but a very bitter attack on the team, the member 'Drudge' had his membership deleted because he was not allowed to harass a forum member, he did not happen to get on with, all started because he did not agree with this members beliefs I believe.

I witnessed this member publically harrassing a member with every post that they had made and I pulled him up and asked him to cease this nonsense, his reply was quite arrogant saying that, because he was asked by the admin team to cease this behaviour he said he 'had' no choice but to adhere to our request but had it been his choice, he probably would of continued so he can belittle this member with every post that they had made.

I told 'Drudge' that his antics were extremely petty and that at the end of the day, this is an internet forum, post views on most aspects but in no way will I tolerate attacks on other members. He did not agree with this and he then got his daughter involved in this whole matter who then made an attack on us, I did not know at the time it was his daughter however when the IP's matched, it certainly did put two and two together. Both then requested their membership to be deleted. I really do believe that 'Drudge' wanted his departure to have a significant impact on the people that post here. But because this did not work 'lone lurker' appeared with an intent to cause further trouble as he had not finished what he had started.

Please take notice of this 'Drudge', this is a forum specifically for ntl problems etc etc it is not a school playground, I do not have time for petty people, so please do me a favour and all the other members a favour and not come here with your arrogance and ignorance and please do not waste anymore of my time. Thank you very much.

I dont work for NTL anymore or subscribe to any of there services but i have stuck around purely for the social parts of the forum.

I dont work for NTL anymore or subscribe to any of there services but i have stuck around purely for the social parts of the forum. Its the friendly members, sound tech knowledge and advice, funny threads and serious topical debates that keep me coming back as im sure it does for many others so keep up the good work NTHW :)

I for one enjoy it here, it's varied, educational, helpful, and most of all fun. If it wasn't, it would become very boring.

Hi, I'm David.
I'm not doing this because Incog bumped up the thread, I'm doing it because I WANT to. I have a been with computers one way and another since the Sinclair ZX81. (anyone remember 'Control a Nuclear Power Station with 50 lines of basic'?) - yes before you ask I have moved on, I still own a BBC model 'B' but have difficulty loading programs since the tape recorder stopped working! Anyway NTL couldn't support it - so had to upgrade (I'm not sure that is the right word) to windows XP.

I have lurked and posted occasionally, sometimes to point out potential mistakes (call me pedantic if you must); I stay a member because there is nowhere else to get such good response to a question or problem, but tend to think that lone lurker has a valid point to make. I don't find the forums particularly welcoming unless you are NTL or ex NTL staff. It seems quite cliquey at times with lots of 'in' jokes (Thats OK, but tends to EXCLUDE people).

I wonder how people have the time to make so many posts on the forums - don't you have a life? By the time I have finished reading I usually don't have time to reply!

I don't understand the rep system and therefore find it pointless. It just seems to re-inforce the reputation of those who, for whatever reason, already have a reputation. I get my strokes in other ways.

P.S. It's very easy to get on your high horse, and get emotive about a subject when interacting with your computer isn't it? Perhaps I should get out more. :naughty:

:welcome: david..... i do know how you feel, when i first joined the site (more so with .com) i found it very hard to get into conversations and felt like a real outsider, but if you make an effort, you do begin to get to know people...... i don't think their is a clique, i think the majority of the main posters are friendly to everyone

i know i have a high post count, but this was mainly due to me being out of work for three months at one point, and having no money so nowt else to do

Thanks for your post David. I have yet to see someone name the people within the 'clique', some members are active and some members are very active and they want to be involved in the community spirit more, not this 'clique' that people keep mentioning. I happen to think that this community is opening to new people, ok the 'in' jokes probably makes this otherwise. Perhaps it would be wise to leave private jokes to PM or the nthw chat facility (link on front page) and use the forums for serious discussion and debate for anyone is free to enter and cast their views. :wavey:

fair enough dr p.... i do see your point.....

as stu said, and i ahve mentioned before, if anyone feels to shy to post before having spoken to someone, then let one of us know, and we can have a wee chat in pm...for a while i used to pm all the new member and say hi and welcome, but the site is growing soo fast i can't feasibly do it anymore

Hi Dr P.Can you tell me what constitutes a private joke?

And why should regular contributers not have their in jokes?If someone doesn't understand,it doesn't take much effort to ask for enlightenment surely?I also don't see why the 'regulars' should feel that they are being unwelcoming in anyway because they are already part of the community and enjoying being part of that community and accused of being a clique.How am I part of a clique?I just post here on a regular basis.Others don't have to do so if they don't want to.
I can see that some of the rather more controversial threads might be rather scary(yep they scare me too)and the 'protagonists' get quite heated but on the whole we stay friendly and if an attack is unwarranted then we get rapped across the cyberknuckles for it(and not just by the mods)

To the lurkers
Fine if you want to lurk,then lurk but you can hardly expect us to know that you feel out of things unless you contribute.Again I see little point in hanging around a site unless you are considering joining or contributing.If I'm visiting a site as a guest and I decide to do neither then I just move on.

All I've ever suggested was that maybe if you as a lurker were considering joining us then jump right in and you are welcome.This is a welcome thread and a chance to get to know everyone IF YOU ALREADY FEEL LIKE JOINING.If you don't well ok we don't really mind. :)

I just want to have MORE people to communicate and commiserate with.I wasn't setting out to be controversial in any way.I was just offering an opening and a open hand. :wavey:

To those newbies who are registering and contributing already,welcome. :wavey:

Incog. :D

I feel that one is aimed at me. I have a job where I have small blocks of time between working that I choose to often spend here. The result is a sky high post count (most of it utter cr*p in Duffys dorm). So what? Why on earth should some members high post counts be cited as a criticism of this site? Whats that got to do with the price of rice in china?:confused:

Ahem right I think that's enough medal spam thanks :)

We are going to install the medal and reward hack for vB when it goes to final release so that should make people happy :D

Quote:

What this hack does:
This hack allows you to add awards/ medals or cards to your vbulletin and assign these to members who you think deserve them.

These graphics will then show up in their member profile and/or their postbits depending on where you choose to add this hack.

Coming Soon:
- Awards added to the search and memberlists.
- Extra page showing all awards available as well as all the users who have earned an award.
- Added functions to the addition of awards as well as cron functions to assign awards automatically to those members with 'X' posts, registered 'X' days etc...
- Option to show award name rather than graphic.
- Option to turn awards OFF & ON in postbit and memberinfo
- Request award on awards page (at Cyricx' request)
(not necessarily in that order)

Bleedin' job! Always buggering up my social life!

Anyway, here goes.....my name's Andy, I'm too old to remember my age, and I live in sunny Stoke-on-Trent (don't laugh, some of us have to live here!). I poke my head up out of the pond now and again to add a comment or two, but I do enjoy lurking and watching some of the threads unfold. Some of the comments are great!
