    It already is:

    There’s the posters who you don’t hear from much, but are always polite, fun and interesting. They might not say much, but they’re still around
    ...that’s RealityHack

    There’s the gormless posters,
    Posters who live abroad,
    Posters whose kids are smart (DNA tests not been done)
    ...NAT covers those

    Then there’s posters who could probably kill you
    ...that’s Cojak

    And then there’s me. I do a good job of representing posters like me.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      There are a good few women here with a non gender specific usernames.

      Good grief, you may even be PMing one now and not know it!
      How do I know there is a lack of diversity, are you daft?? You just need to look at peoples avatars.

      Stop denying the problem you puppet of the patriarchy and start encouraging more women to join and post. For starters whats with the website blue and white colour scheme? Would a bit of colour kill you, splash of pink here and there.

      Perhaps a fashion forum and a technical forum specially for women, no mansplaining.

            In that case I must be the result of some unspeakable act between a chimpanzee & Nicholas Cage..

                WTFH is non-binary. In fact he/she/it is borderline human. And can't sing.

                  What are you doing to increase diversity?

                  I noticed almost all of the mods are men, white privileged men. This doesn't reflect society.

                  So what you doing about this mods?

                  +1 to the first CUKER that posts a picture of the dance group Diversity.

                  What D&I activities do you suggest?
                  Flags next to avatars to show what group we represent?

                  Actually I think CUK is the most inclusive place ever as we are all non binary on here despite our gender, sexuality, the way we look etc. We are just taken on face value purely for the crap we post.

                    Well, in theory this is a contractor forum, and contractors tend to be judged on:
                    1. Their most recent gig (most recent post)
                    2. Looking back at past ones.

                    Good contractors add value and can adapt and learn. They need to be able to apply logic and reasoning, not just accepting everything they are fed by a client/agent at face value.

                      What a crock of tulip.

                      We all know it's about who can bleed a radiator the fastest, what penis extension you drive, and what you do with the chutney spoon.
