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!
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.  |
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
