Too Close Knit?
-
as i mentioned in "Im here" or "Ive arrived" (whichever it was i cant remember) i think this place is close knit but not as far as it could be. the fact that we share a common interest in knightmare should make us accessable to anyone who wants and from past experience i find people here a lot more welcoming and friendly than many other places.
From when i joined (can't even be a full month ago yet...just to give some indication of kn00bness ) I know i was worried that i might rub everyone up the wrong way but i just made contributions where i felt i had something to say. I found the humour here (in general...i mean we cant count the "great" jokes topic) on the whole good and sarcastic, just the way i like it. this may be more why janus had issues. she wasn't expecting anything so friendly so quickly whereas I went into fits of delight at being glomped almost instantly
Gerz, maybe im just sad but i tend to read everyones posts to the full and reply if i have an opinion. you propbably just haven't offende me enough to get a lickin yet
EDIT - does anyone save Emii know what glomping is...i have yet to discover it

No worries, Gerz!
cleaqrs throat AHEM!
To glomp (he glomps, she glomps, they glomp, we glomp, thou glompst):
A form of affection - to run at a person, tackle them, take themto the floor, bearhug and refuse to let go until it suits the glomper. The glompee may or may not enjoy this.
All clear?

It is the personal messages that out people off sometimes.
The community can be close, and has its factions too, but it is when people talk in jargon they get a bit left out.
Sometimes I come on here wondering what the hell people are talking about, there is a definate circle of friends who seem to have a lot in common, and they seem to make most of the posts around here. It does seem to alienate people, as I said, I have felt a bit like that on occasion.
Examples:

well...you feel like telling me? pretty please?
That is General, not General Knightmare. I go for the motion to have a General Chat board up here now NKTP is useless, then personal convos can be kept there.
I think it would help if more of you came to Knightmare Chat [out of interest, why don't you?], that way the new people could get to know everyone else quicker and easier.
Tis the personal referencing on here anyway, I do believe that is one of the reasons people make 1 or 2 posts then dash off....My opinion anyway.

Harm has been done, someone left the forums yesterday because of it.
Sure being friendly is fine, but not at the expense of another user or users. It is not only-so-often, either, it is frequent that posts turn into personal chats.
MSN etc is handy, if not then having a Gen Chat forum may help, unless anyone is hugely against it.

Obvious to you, you know Emily.
Why should it be obvious to someone who does not? That is my point, when it was first posted I felt that it could have caused friction, and it sadly did. I really don't like to see someone leave, the girl evidently took it seriously, but you can't expect her to take it the way it was meant, the girl does not know Emily, and text based communication is never easy.
As for the personal posting, that is a seperate issue, and have already said what I think would help that.

There already is one at http://pub11.bravenet.com/forum/show.php?usernum=892780421
But yeah, its not that good and could be better promoted. It's not possible to simply add a General Discussion section on this forum as it may cause it to exceed the bandwidth limit.

Talking of KM chat, is it alive or dead tonight? I can't get it to work at all. Is that a more widespread fault or have the goblins just been attacking my system again?
