Very kind of you darlin' - but because of the medicines I have to take, I have to be very circumspect with what and in what quatities of alcohol I can take. F'r instance I dropped 40,000 platelets on Thursday.
Seems like some other forum is dying and one or two who have joined this one instead invite the leftover users to come over...
As well as thinking that this aria must describe many HF members when the internet is down, I wonder how Tchaikovsky would have written the opera if Tatiana had been able to send Eugene an email.
Well I wouldn't put it like that Asm, and to use make comments such as 'leftover users' is being rather insulting to them. Surely it is up to us to welcome people who have joined here for whatever reason. As it so happens I know Vlad from that other forum, and for your information it is certainly NOT a dying one. I left that particular forum and another under my own volition because of petty and puritanical overbearing moderation. Vlad was one of the very best posters on that forum, and if Admin there had any sense then they would beg him to come back. Their loss is our gain as far as I am concerned. Welcome to this forum Vlad, and it is lovely to see you here. Your friend. Boozercruiser.
Vlad. Just get your arse over to Candy's Place. Sharpish! You do NOT need to have a liking for alcohol to go there. Just be the miserable Labour supporter you always have been. Cheers!
That's an insult!!! - I'm not a Labour Supporter matey - they're far too woolly for my liking and need some 'real' socialist zeal !!!
It was an observation. Not a complaint. But even if it was a complaint; I don't care one bit if newbies subscribe or not. Also, that new people get invited over here is not annoying on itself at all. But if they act kind of clique-ish its just noticable. To put it neutral
I think you should care if newbies subscribe or not. Surely it's the more the merrier. Isn't it. Both Candy Gal and I and relatively newish others I are NOT cliqu-ish I can assure you. We have tried to make friends and be sociable to ALL members who participate in our postings. And us with them as well. The people you mention came here in peace and to make a fresh start and to make friends with. This includes YOU as well Asmodean.
I thought Driftrue ment subscribe as a paid supporter. This doesn't matter to me in any way. As i already said i have no issue with more users. Yes, you come across as a specific clique wether you wanna be or not. It's not an accusation or complaint, its simply an observation. I'm not the only regular here who noticed. Irrelevant. I didn't imply you were here for another reason. We can obviously both post here in peace, also without trying to become friends. Can't become friends with everyone (otherwise you would still be a member on that other forum right ), which is entirely normal and perfectly fine. My observation though still seems spot on.
