That would be a fear of cliqués, yes?

The old cliqués you mean?  Surely we're better without that stuff dude?

I know what you're getting at, but it isn't that.

I know you're talking about Dayfall.

I'm talking about before that.

No-one comes on here though, because of the clique.  It's a shame.

Speaking of which, I think it probably fair that they be allowed back on now that Andy is?

Especially concerning the history of arguments concerning that username, and now that Andy is using it like we were saying all along...

Wouldn't want anyone looking like hypocrites.

What do you reckon dude?

Ah man you got me all wrong, I'm not pointing the finger at anyone in particular, least of all Laras gang, thats all water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned these days.  I meant tha general sickening back slappiness that went on a couple of years ago where if you didn't hang with the 'crowd' then your comments and views were ignored en masse.

That's an interesting question dude.  How has he slipped under the rader recently or have I missed something?

 

For those that dont know, Andy and I are actually mates so flagging this up is just me being fair.Smile

No, I think it's good he is back.

I'm just saying that if the slate is cleared with him, then you know...

Oh, and the clique en masse thing is still going on here.  Toby is perfect evidence of that, when he first joined.

I agree but who could have predicted that he would become part of one over night?

It's late/early. I'm posting because I need stimulation outside of learning about MS Access.

I agree there is a lot of back slapping that goes on but I think that's the nature of a local music forum. To what degree it's acceptable and at what point it becomes sycophantic is a good question.

I don't feel this place is too cliquey nowadays. I try not to be a part of that. Are you talking about the whole forum as one big clique Dman? If so I think that's the nature of forums to a large degree! 

 

If someone turns up and starts making dick-ish posts then they'll be treated like a dick. However if they turn up with decent non-trolling posts and they're treated like a dick then the offendersneed to be smacked down!  Hoo yeah!

 

 

...I'm so tired I'm not even sure if this is making any sense at all. Bleh.

You're going to get cliques forming in all walks of life - that's the way these things are. Safety in numbers and all that.

 

I'd probably be in a clique of my own if it weren't for my outrageous Tourrette's and my violent mood swings.

I wasn't aware that *FUCK!!* you had Tourettes syndrome *TITTYWANKFRENZY!!* dude?  Does it *MOTHERSAWHORE!!* have a huge impact on your *Spit spit spit* life and music or do you *MASSIVE VAGINALCRACK!!* keep it under control at your *SMELLMYCHEESE!!* gigs?

because i dont come on here as often i do sometimes feel out of the clique. but then i think i dont care, people respond to my posts more often than not, and no one seems to have a pre-concieved opinion of me based on who i know, so its all good.

dman, i didn't use this user name before, it was actually my friend Joe's name that he set up when selling a smoke machine or something on here years ago, he sometimes came on when i was involved in various things but it wasn't me i can assure you, i'm only using it now because my user name is banned.

 

Dayfall were banned for different reasons from myself also so it's not a direct comparison to say that now i'm on here they should be allowed on.

 

I hope that clears things up for you.

I'm sorry Daz but you're wrong.

It wasn't "a little childish"

 aye, clique en mass is alive and well, I'm glad it seems to be on the wane, but it is still there, Its arare that new people stick around nowadays coz they don't get replied to, I've plugged away coz i think its worth it and now people do at least reply to me! but thats about as far as it goes!
