I totally know where your coming from. I still feel the same way and i've been here for a year. I mean I talk to people, but Kindred was the only one that I really had a conversation with, she made me feel welcome. I post all the time, not so much lately, but I still feel like a newbie around here, and I'm not saying this for simpathy or anything because i'm not. I think that everyone should make more of an effort to talk to everyone. I'm not being like 'oh everyone talk to me', because like I said I haven't really been around, but a welcome in an intro thread is a nice way of saying hi but it isn't going to make someone feel as welcome as a conversation. But I do agree that if you wanted to get to know people you should post. We're supposed to be one big family, I think we should start acting like it.

Willow02: Don't wanna argue,but BB intro threads are just...surprising. Have you ever checked intro threads from other forums?(think of EFD ones). People hardly reply to them. Here,we all try to make newbies feel at home,guess we should try harder...
I can understand the points given but I don't agree with some of them. Picking up on some of the stuff in Magui's last post about how more people should participate in Plrtz Grb forum if they want to be well known. Why should they? What if they don't like off topic posting, and find that everyone is split into small groups. Yes it happens there is nothing we can do about it, some people will always get on more with others, but if you are new it is all a bit daunting and trying to speak to people who have all their private jokes feels uncofortable. But don't get me wrong, i'm not implying that people are doing this intentionally, as thats not the case.
Things seem a lot different from when I started here as a member, I posted in nearly every forum, didn't have a particular group of friends and spent most of my time in the show forums discussing things, and then forming friendships with people who either had the same outlook as myself or who had a different opinion but put it over constructively and not marking down your opinion.

I agree, I think Plrtz Grb is probably the most intimidating forum with so many threads like these.

M: No I know what your saying, alot of boards i'm on people hardly reply to them but alot of new people don't really have the courage to just jump in there. Yeah I had alot of people reply to my intro thread, and yes it was nice of them but I didn't know anyone and i'm a shy person so it wasn't like i was just going to go talk to someone. And yes thats my own fault but i've PM'd people and never got a responce so that doesn't exactly motivate me to go PM some more people. And i'm not exactly directing this at all of the popular, older people on the board, i'm directing this at everyone.

I agree with Willow02 we're all like a Buffyfamily type weird thingy and we should all act like it even though we already kinda do If one of our fellow bbers have a problem you see like tons of people trying to help if they can even if its just as simple as buying a prom dress up to the problem of a family death....I hate the fact that some of the members here dont feel as welcomed cause truth is everyone is...Everyone heres is awesome...And if i could i'd adopt you all as brother and sisters 🙂 cause you all totally rock
I totally agree with what Faith said. You shouldn't have to post in this forum to be accepted. The point of this board is to discuss Buffy and Angel (and now Tru Calling) - not what everyone had for breakfast this morning. People should be able to make friends by discussing the things we are all here (supposedly) to talk about.

Faith: Yeah,well,guess I said that,but I didn't mean it that way. I can't exaclty express what I really think when I'm thinking too many stuff at the same moment lol.
I just mean that if they don't like BB-something threads and they don't post in them,they can't expect everyone will mention in all of them. E.g.: there's a...ern,Spangel-fans thread,people wouldn't mention ana8..I would to bother her,but,that's not the point. If I see a BB-Camping(or whatever) thread and I have to mention 10 members who I'd go to the camping with I'd mention people that would enjoy replying to thread,not going to the camping,cuz the camping wouldn't be real.
Did I make any sence?...no,I guess I didn't...just,never mind
Willow02: I know you weren't talking just to me,I just said that I think that on this site we all try to be nice to everyone,maybe we should be more..open or something. The thing is that we are all friends,which doesn't mean people cant join us on the being friends thing. The more ppl the better😀. But we can't PM everyone telling them 'hey,wanna be my friend?',...well,we can...but,ya know;'weird' factor😛. I try to be friendly and all,guess I'll just try to be friendlier (I won't be responsible for any change of personality of newbies or something like that. Chatting to me during too many hours can be dangerous and extremely spangelish😛)🙂
Buffy Summers: It's not like you have to post in the P.G. to be accepted,but the topic of this thread is about P.G-BB-threads: 'Most likely to get picked last...'. Well,if they post on the threads,they won't get picked last...

Yeah,sorry. Posting when watching Angelus eps(= being thinking of leather and David's *ss) should be against the rules. Add a rule about that😛. Sorry,didn't mean to sound mean and confusing

I might be just like you!
PG is the forum where we can discuss things about our own personal lives, but it seems like all or most of the recent threads posted in here are about picking people and segregating others. If we started more threads to get to know each other on different things important to our lives, I think Plrtz Grb would be a much better place to get to know our fellow members.

I can relate to the intimidation factor for a newbie coming into this forum. There seems to be a lot of stuff going on under the surface, in pms etc, that a bunch of newer posters may not be privvy to, and there are a lot of ongoing in-jokes that most of the BB vertans can play along with. For example, Magui's unnatural obsession with icky Spangel...😉. There have been a few very intense threads in this forum in the last couple of months, and I've come to know and respect a number of folks here at the boards for their perseverence in their real lives (elmo, Jenny, Dark Puppet, among others, take your bows!), and learned about, and came to respect, the value systems and ideals of others. I usually skim the "popularity" threads for a diversion in case a good idea comes up that I can use to post something with, uhh, a bit more substance. Do I like being picked? Yup. Does it bug me when I'm not? I'd be lying if I said no, but it doesn't make me feel bad...just a bit outta touch. Final word for me on these threads...they're like potato chips: not very filling, no nutritional value, but they have a satisfying crunch if you're in the mood for it (but you sure can't live on them alone!).
