I am getting very bored with Heartland. Cliques are extremely negative things on a forum. Particuarly when unmoderated. They are normally conceived by the anally retentive. I rest my case on that issue in this forum. I do think that some of you Candy Cane Children are border line. Those who choose to use open forum as a PM chat. Those who deliberately choose to derail a topic for post counting whore purposes.
Hmm ...
For alternative enjoyment away from Heartland I present to you Wishville. They don't bite even though you're from the 'other place'.
But please, some of you listen up. Seriously.
Wishville
Agreed. But why should you be allowed to post under two different usernames when the rest of us have to make do with one? Why should you be any different? Or are you in with the "clique?"Loki wrote:I am getting very bored with Heartland. Cliques are extremely negative things on a forum. Particuarly when unmoderated.

Sit down Loki. Relax. The ice-bong is on its way over.

there is a certain validity to john's point about post de-railing, and maybe a re-iteration of the forum rule about side-tracking posts is in order, but i would deny the presence of cliques. apart from the ones that john started...
you wanna chat with the wishvillers? go ahead. i used to be on there regularly and it was a great place. still know a few people that i consider friends from wishville. and i've always freely admitted that wishville was the "model" for how i wanted heartland to be.
boards go through highs and lows. they all have infighting, random bollocks and a liberal scattering of nutters. its "the way of things". get enough people into one place at eth same time and the law of averages dictates that some of them will be nutters. i think we do well to have as few of them as we do
wishville is no different. and as PIB says, the grass is always browner...
anyhoo, as mark has said, anyone who has either a specific or a general problem to do with the running of heartland is more than welcome to let us know.

good grief, if you want cliques and infighting and random bollocks, try the darkness forums. there are people on there that think they've got the band wrapped round their little fingers, when they barely know who they are..
and most of those do not come in the 'screaming teenagers' category.
just be thankful you're not their webbie, quiff. rob has the patience of a saint.

Some valid points made by all parties on this thread. Apart from the wanker who started it ...
And you'll have to forgive me if anyone took offence. It's been a while since I've tossed a hand grenade on here ...
Right, off to form a clique for the unemployed ...

Well there's the Fantasy Football clique for a start. Jumpers for goalposts indeed.paint it black wrote: johnny, as you seem to be in all the HL cliques and i in none . maybe you could list all known cliques
I am a member of no clique (apart from the 126 I've formed with Emily ) and prefer to see my role as spreading goodwill and bonhomie (plus shiney silver things and Sisters tees) throughout Heartland.
I regret I am unable to address this point without reverting to lashings of innuendo and smut.paint it black wrote:not that there's anything wrong with flying solo. that way i don't have to toss off grenades for fun

After just having been given the PM equivalent of a dig in the ribs, I may have some association with the clique that goes under the monicker of The unHoly Trinity.
Featuring the very wonderful Ms Black Alice, Ms Canon Docre and Ms Delilah. Fine upstanding laydeez who all rather fabulously made it to Tilburg and turned cyber into reality.
