I can't think of anything worse than anyone being overly nice and totally fake (a la Unofficial Mills.)

I'm semi-new still

Actually, you're still properly new (in my opinion.) But most of the time you're fine, so people are fine towards you.

Oh bloody hell... what do I have to do to be classed as "not new" in your opinion Mr Topher? Post over 1000 messages?

I'd been snooping around for around 2 years before I joined; but I didn't think I'd have to mention that to prove myself to everyone.

So do you go out of your way to not be friendly then? In my opinion, being nice to someone is quite welcoming, i'd rather be classed as pleasant than abrupt and unapproachable.

Everybody can * off and kiss my arse - can't stand any of you anyway!

No, but you've only been registered a couple of months. Compared to most of the regulars, you are still new.

You don't have to prove yourself and I never said there was anything wrong with being new... we were all new at one point.

No, but I don't go out of my way to be nice if I find someone irritating. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

I'm new, despite snooping for years!
Actually everyone has been very decent! I think most of the newbies who get a shoeing are generally coming here to vent!

You could just be nice to new people - it is an option you know.

How can't believe how horrible the people on this site are to new members - it isn't big nor is it clever

We tend only to be horrible if the 'newbies' present just cause to be horrible. Otherwise, we're fine.

No, but sometimes it's a lot of fun. But only when people are fools. Most new members are lovely.

I joined because i was generally interested if any other people had got tickets! First time i been to a radio 1 event was just a bit excited! sorry!

[Yudster]

You weren't a fool though.....?

Excuse me, people around here aren't always horrible thank you very much... and even if they are, it's not "everyone". I'm semi-new still and i've never had anyone be horrible towards me <cue insults>...
The only time that people around here could be classed as being horrible are when we're correcting people who can't spell or string a sentence together... THAT is when we're "horrible".

Now * off...

Hello Rusty! I live in Brighton too! (big apologies to all else on the board!!!) That said, ' Up the SeaGulls!'
