The Bizarre Thread - Stats So Far

I can't work out whether I feel my post count of 5 is too many or too few.

It's much more cliquey than the perceived clique (or cliques) ever was (or were) though.

How is it cliquey then? Most on here have been around a lot longer than me and most know each other.

Is it cos you are shy? :p

The most obvious Clique thread posted recently is the "Whats Happening" thread.....whats that all about!

When 15% of posters submit 82% of posts people might think it was a clique.

15% of posters on that thread or overall?
As people keep saying, it's open to all & in no way should people feel intimidated! Plus, it seems to have toned down unecessary diversions of other more "real" threads! :D

An excellent point indeed.

And yes, if there are any problems or anything people wish to discuss then the bizarre thread is the place.

We have good intentions....and announce good positive uplifting news....

JoshC announced he had passed his driving theory
Mr Huttons nan announced well after being rushed to hospital
Amy is doing well after an operation
I_S passes his thesis
Hawkwell_Shrimper gets his legover after visiting the thread

Now you're not telling me thats a clique.....

In the season of goodwill this is all positive news and a bit of a laugh.

I find it much more entertaining than the constant Tilly and Harrold bashing that goes on. Not to mention the doom and gloom at SUFC only being 6th.

The bizarre thread is an oasis of enjoyment for all.....:D
 
Other forums I post on have similar threads and the same arguements about whether they are cliquey or not always tend to surface. They're not really my cup of tea but I don't see the harm in them. I've meant in the past to suggest creating something similar in the 'Shrimpers Chit-Chat' forum for Southend-related rambles and things that don't really justify their own threads.

I wouldn't say so - look at when most of it's written, they are just the lucky ones that can get away with being on here while at work!

As Mr Benedict said, I waded in quite happily the other night, and the only one of those 15% that I've really spoken to on the board before is Southminster Shrimper.

Not a clique.

Do it! As long as there are some specific ground-rules!
It would be good to have something like that so you don't awlays have to find a SUFC slant on news from the same division as hardly anybody bothers with the 'All Leagues' forum!

Fame at last...thank you sir.

And for the record. I have never spoken to any of them really......maybe they wish I still hadnt.....;)

But they all miss me when I am not about....:p

However you need to be careful as you are now part of the biggest 'clique' never to have existed on SZ.com.

Ah, but I didn't say it is cliquey, merely more cliquey. As mcnasty points out, the thread is rather dominated by the few.

Anyway, more important was the point about whether I should be posting more or less.
