I seem to remember something about a hula skirt and a whip

*sucks on a ship*

In your opinion    Why don't you make some threads and I'm sure they'll get posts in them 

Have to agree Sooz. There seems to be too many SITS on here and any new blood that joins on the homepage never seem to post. Some nights i get bored because of the no-response to replies made. A lot of big names have gone and i wish they would come back and post as to why they left. A lot can't because of bans but something needs to change to get folk back here.

What is an SIT?

i think it's sad that in the thread that was closed that people were saying some are to scared to start a new thread, if people are feeling like that then this place will die a quiet death 

I very rarely start a new thread, but that is just because I'm so shy. 

couldn't believe my luck .. google found me " shrinking violet" and smut potential  in the one picture! ! 

I have made new threads but this won't make the old folk come back.

and that won't make people come back, the three supporters threads on here are just a laugh and nothing more. Those that post in them join in other threads too....people have moved onto face book, twittter and other places, it's got bugger all to do with the three threads that are on the forum and one you visit yourself I might add  

This forum is relatively small in the grand scale of things. There are differings of opinion (which is healthy) but ..........no one should be driven away .................TBH - it's all a bit boring.  It  shouldn't be about who has the last word.

I know things have been said - feelings have been hurt and all that but .................no one should feel that they can't post. 

Have Io said too much? There is an elephant in the room ............................................there is nothing that can't be put right is there?

 Personally i dont think any threads are the exclusion of others. Some may feel so, and that i find sad. But the people who are on THOSE threads are the same people posting about other things and joining in. It is only inevitable after years of a lot us being on here and the "other", that friendships do develop.Maybe thats why this rather small forum has survived? Yes we will fall out about different opinions etc, but thats being human, isnt it ?

exactly how I see it Skylark, most of those in those threads post more on the forum than in the supporters threads anyway. I'm sure if we had new members they would have to be shown the way here, it's not something the you would google

I agree Sky...and I don't do SITs or the like

No it was the flouncey skirt and the maracca's....

This SITs thing gets on my wick, they are not SITs they are threads that people talk in, that is what this forum is about surely. 

I personally find them quite comforting, they keep the forum going, it's nice to know the usual people will still be here talking to each other, why that would drive people away, or stop people participating in the forum is beyond me.

Guess people just need to chill a bit sometimes...but then I've never felt 'left out' or 'ignored' /'ostracised' on here so I know that must be very easy for me to say. I'm a fairly confident person so I kinda don't , from a personal perspective, 'get' some of the stuff that is being said on this thread, But then again I do..If people feel that there are cliques 'friendship groups' that they are not part of/ can't break into then that's tricky, (real life?)

The way I see it is, you say what you want to say, you roll with that, and , over time you 'connect' with some more than others...isn't that how life is

Yes i understand that, and it can feel like a clique sometimes. Sometimes i feel left out too, if we are not watching the same programmes, and cant join in the same convo in the stickies etc. I dont get some of the stuff too, but we are all different, and room for us all, isnt there?  xxx

Awwww Sky. Don't feel like that.      I wonder if it's lack of diversity threads that does it for some people too?  I've tried to post something different with my 'kitchen' freds  and am trying to think of some others also.  

Please people get posting

i love your posts Pam! 
Do we fry or grill ?? What about sausages?? Now there is a debate lol

There are 25 threads on the forum, the rest are sticky's. There are three supporters threads and the bus stop...that leaves 21 threads and anyone is welcome in any the supporters threads and the bus stop. I only post in one supporters thread and the bust stop, but have been known to invade one whilst I have been under the influence and always been made welcome as I'm sure anyone would be. 

The funny thing is, there are no new members as far as I know

Can I clarify something please. Are we talking about the SIT itself or what 'appears' to be Sits to some, like the Crib, Darnies and stuff?
