    Where's all the Newbies?

    The great majority of the posts are from people with thousands of posts already and who have been here for years.

    Has it become a clique?

    Do the veteran members not like any newbies joining to break up their gentleman's (and ladies) club?

    It's got very stagnant here.

      I say all post counts should be reset to 0 to start afresh.

      Except mine of course.

        Wonderful insight, there's clearly a market for a contractor forum full of newbies who don't hang around for a while. Why don't you fck off and start it?

          A serious point.

          A very touch answer.

          Raw nerve hit I think.

              Yesterday I offered my services to help out with cretinwatch but OG said he'd prefer to wait in case someone intelligent applied for the role.

              Well, who's laughing now.

                Go on, then. You're keen and I like that. We'll give you a try out.

                  well, its a fact that the people who post most often will have higher post counts.

                  Is it a clique ? well not really. I cant see anyone being excluded simply because they are new or outsiders. Some get excluded for other reasons

                  there really is no club. FWIW I spent years lurking before I posted


                  The forum may well be stagnant - so liven it up and stop whining

                    It is also an example of the Pareto Principle.
