Re: For The Attention Of Mick & Accyweb

I don’t get this “mafia” thing. I’ve met only a few members and have found everyone ( so far ) to be as friendly online as they are “ for real ”

The site has been going for quite a few years and there are many long standing members, friendships get forged over time. Yes, you can tell those members who are really comfy with each other, it’s hardly a crime, just human nature. There is no “closed shop” nor “mafia”

Do what you feel you have to do Mez, I’m sure the site will miss your support.

Re: For The Attention Of Mick & Accyweb

Internal politics.... you will always get this on a web site such as this:
There are those that do and those that don't: at the end of the day it is just a web site... so calm down:

I think at the meets to encourage new comers .... people should wear some kind of name tag: I have said this before... it is very off putting for some one alone to walk into a pub and meet a group full of strangers...especially if your a female:

I think there should be some kind of meet and greet set up... I have only been to one meet and found everyone to be friendly... however it was just like the site really, those that chat on here in one corner ... and mods in the other: Had I been by myself I really don't think I would have stayed....

Re: For The Attention Of Mick & Accyweb

Well I know quite a few members and have always got on well with them.
Don't mean I agree with them all the time,or they with me,that's the way it should be.
Would be pretty boring if we all agreed all the time even if I am the Font Of All Knowledge.

Re: For The Attention Of Mick & Accyweb

The Accy Web 'mafia' usually get mentioned when one person's views are disagreed with by the majority of other members. It's accused that there is some sort of sinister plot to gang up on them.

There is no plot of course. It's that they just need the scapegoat of thinking there's a 'mafia', to comfort themselves that nobody else seems to agree with them.

Accy Web is a democracy. Every single member has an equal chance to have their voice heard. Members are free to post as much, or as little, as they like, as long as the forum rules are adhered too. Some people may disagree with what's posted, but again that's democracy.

If the time comes where I don't enjoy this forum anymore, don't expect a farewell thread. I'll vanish just as quickly as I came...and the night I came I loved it. I probably made about twenty posts, and may have stepped on a few people's toes, buT hey, everyone else is able to do that too.

Besides I didn't giving a flying fig if some sensitive soul was offended by me.

Re: For The Attention Of Mick & Accyweb

If we all agreed with each other it would be a very boring forum.

Each thread would be a statement, and people would just add to it saying 'yes I agree'.

The forum would be dead and buried in a month, the same as if there was a limit on how much you could post.

You'd have just used your one daily post to wish someone a happy birthday, then realise you have something important you'd like to add to another thread, but can't because you've used up your post ration. You'd get very bored, and go off somewhere else, to say whatever it was that was on your chest.

Re: For The Attention Of Mick & Accyweb

I have heard the 'clique' thing before, but not the 'closed shop' or 'mafia' thing going on, At meets, you do as I said before generally get a politics table, a football table, a mods table, etc, you have minglers (or intelligent people) who can talk about any subject, and then people from all the tables who smoke, and chat outside, in general, the people who have been on this site the longest, greet each other more readily because they have known each other many years and it is human nature to do that rather than spend a lot of time with a 'stranger', but in my opinion, everybody makes newcomers feel very welcome be it on here or at a meet, the only kind of segregation (if you could call it that) are when people disagree strongly with another member, or think that something a member has done or said is very disagreeable/unsavoury/callous etc, but in general, they are all talking again very soon, if this were not the case, I can think of maybe 2 members who would not get any answers to thier posts at all, but they still do, and why not? They are entitled to thier opinion without fear of a 'clique' ganging up on them because they disagree with that opinion.. Going to load my gun now for the next person/bunch of people that disagree with me!

If you have not noticed quite a lot of the original members have distanced themselves from this site
The comments in the first post actually tell you it's not a closed shop, otherwise it would still be full of original members and new members wouldn't be allowed in.

Spoilsport, you just gave the game away for what goes on at the Christmas meet. They put one in wrapping paper and play pass the parcel with it.
