Too Close Knit?
-
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:
EDIT - does anyone save Emii know what glomping is...i have yet to discover it

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?
