Is there a lack of material at the moment? I've noticed a lot of old threads being dug up (even by myself) just for something to talk about. What's happened to our useless discussions about the best type of bread to use for a sandwich? These are the things that make OT+B funny... have we run out of things to discuss other than politics and religion??

Martin L · May 20th, 2004, 12:42 PM

We can always talk about MTM, that's a popular subject

Buttons - Just for you, I'm going to put my brain back in ... new stuff about to explode on a screen near you soon

Oy!! I've been talking lately about hockey and the Stanley Cup Finals - IMHO, that's more than enough relevant material in that, more useful than trivial fodder like politics and religion!!!

Oh, and one more thing - STANLEY CUP FOR CANADA!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!

I've decided to go and 'get stuck in' as I'm a newcomer too. So let's see what happens. I think it looks quite friendly.

I've decided not to go to MtM in '05.

If I do go I'd only come back as a crashing MtM bore and everyone who didn't go would hate me.

Do you think Newbies are scared to post in OT+B because of all of our banter? Do you think that we are so familiar with each other that, from an outsider perspective, we seem to be quite a "closed" group?

There have been a few Newbies posting around, but I see that there's 450 odd people logged in, but no new posts! Do we scare them away, or seem unfreindly?

It would be interesting to hear a newbies opinion on this, so please don't be afraid to post!

OK, I've floated around the Mini2 site for a while, posted a few posts but only very recently looked in on OT & B, and in response, I guess you guys all know each other so well it is difficult to break in to a new group. You only have to see and read this thread to see what a tight little community you are.

I am getting further into OT&B, and looking around it more and posting more, but I do have to say it can be slightly intimidating as you all know each other so well. I guess at the end of the day its a case of sticking in, meeting up, doing the runs and meeting more of you that counts and becoming more integrated - like any community

Thats my 2penneth

ButtonIt · May 21st, 2004, 07:43 AM

Welcome Wibbly, we're not meant to be be a closed community, but I guess it can appear that way because a few of us spend so much time on here. In reality, anyone will be welcomed with open arms, all they have to do is join in and start posting

mad brummie · May 21st, 2004, 09:14 AM

i'd like to echo what Buttons is saying Wibbly, we can be seen as a closed group but just dive in start psting and people will talk

Thats what the rest of us did when we were new to it
