this is probably just me (it usually is :))

but i've noticed that i find it difficult to communicate on here with some of the newer posters ... i post in their threads and respond to them but usually i'm overlooked in favour of them responding to people that are around the same lit age as them

now i don't mind being ignored on here it happens to everyone sometimes (and me more than most because i'm kinda boring and non-flirty :)) ... but this does have me curious as it seems to be a recurring theme to do with newer posters


i'm wondering if there is a lit generation gap forming?

anyway thoughts are welcome from newer or older posters :)

do older posters get this same feeling? ... do newer posters find it easier to form bonds with other newer posters?


PS this isn't a passive aggressive thread i'm not naming names because i don't have anyone specific in mind ... it's just a general feeling/hypothesis

I will talk to anyone if I have something to contribute to what they have said. I find my self to boring to come up with anything good so often I just read the threads.
 
I certainly do. When I was a newbie I was all into making friends and junk. Now that I'm Old School most of the people I posted with are gone and I can't relate to these young whippersnappers. We used to have cool discussions about movies, politics and music. Now it seems it's nothing but buttsex and lipstick lesbian fantasies.
 
its just something i noticed from coming back from being away

i think i got scared about the amount of established newbies :)
 
God damn. I've seen some message board politics in my time, but this is ridiculous.
 
it is always tough being a noob in any community you reside....

I know of many online communties where noob's are scared off by
established people, that appear unwelcoming and very cliquey
(not saying this is the case for you)

most people tend to gravitate towards people they feel are under similiar circumstances

understandable


personally I could care less, I'll respond to ya, whomever you are...
 
I've only been about for a month on this site, and get the impression that (on the GB at least) people with less than 1,000 posts and have been a member for less than a year either don't get taken seriously enough, or ignored, someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

It's not very often I venture onto the GB, perhaps for that very reason. There do seem to be certain 'cliques', but not all people are like that of course, I've become fairly friendly with some 'old timers' here in the relatively short time I've been a member.
 
i do get hacked sometimes cos i feel overlooked, but since this is a recurring theme in my life i suspect it has more to do with my self image than reality. :)

hum
 
Well, I consciously try not to respond too much to some people, not cos I don't like them... more so I don't come across as being a complete creep... for instance, in your case I don't want to appear to be the sort of guy that says "maybe you could let me watch you eating out another woman and I could join in?!?", even if I would find it amusing...

But also, I do believe there are more newer posters than older, so its just natural that more newer ones will get responded to simply because of the numbers.

And not forgetting, half the time/most of the time I post complete crap, in a way you are right, because I'd rather not respond like a complete tosspot to the more established posters because for the most part I rather like them (this is because the ones I don't like so much soon seem to disappear, I believe).

I don’t think so. I think it’s a normal concern especially if she’s just returning for being away for a while.
I don’t think she’ll never talk to the newbies, just be hesitant with them until she’s sure they’re not… psycho morons or something.
It’s normal.
I tend to be too nice and always end up giving too many chances to people then I have to deal with some immature nut whom I could’ve avoided completely had I just stepped back and observed for a while.

i agree i don't think it's anything deliberate ... we've had a lot of fake alts on here ... so i think the older posters generally are a bit wary of newbies when they first join and wait to see what they're like

in those circumstances i expect its natural the newer posters would bond with posters joining around the same time as them

but lately i'm noticing those bonds are more solid than they used to be ... and people are staying in their own groups more ... even once they've become established posters ... but i fully admit it might just be me ... i just thought i'd start a thread about it though

Oh, but if they registered at a specific time on a specific forum, they're not psycho morons. Even if she personally knew each and every person in "real life", what guarantees that after a "lengthy absence" someone hasn't gotten fucked up in that time frame?
 
I've been around message boards long enough to know that not many get much attention until they have been around awhile. Another board I have been on for years used to be absolutely cruel to noobs. But the ones that stayed could take a joke. No whiners allowed. We have been cutting to much slack lately :)
 
I never care how long someones been here. If I have something to say I say it and more often than not I get ignored but I really don't care. There are cliques here just like in life.

Well, there's a poster who used to mosey round who went by the handle of Thomas Payne. I don't think he has 500 posts to his name but it was clear from his posts that he was just about the smartest cat we had. It's not post count.

And it's not how long you've been here. Or, at least, it's not with me. If you say something I don't like, I might blame it on your being a noob(like during the whole "moderate the GB" fiasco) but if you're a good character, we can become fast buddies. I mean, Ishmael and AJ have been around for ever and I think they're the two worst influences on the board.

But I definitely noticed a change ever since I came back to the GB that the fact that this is an "Adult" board has gradually changed more and more into Adult meaning that we get to talk about each others naughty bits and less about being grown ups. What appealed so much about the GB to me in the beginning, and I was a young kid myself four years ago, is that there was kind of an underlying cool about how the GB was for people who dug Adult stories but didn't want to talk about porn.

this isn't politicizing ... but it might be ridiculous

care to let me know what about my post made you feel that way?

don't worry that happens to everyone you'd be amazed about the number of my threads that have zero posts on them :)

you won't make me think you're a creep ... but i might make you pay for it :)

just don't tell me you're a lesbian trapped in a mans body (running GB joke :))
 
Don't get me wrong. n00bs should have to pay dues before they're over and well-known, but not to talk to anyone at all? I mean, Jesus Christ. It's 2005 already. That shit went out in 2001.

The fact that you stereotype based on registration date.

Yipes, that was totally a running joke at a big brother board I went to! Except the joke was "I'm a paedophile in a teenager's body", and it wasn't a running one... and I got banned for it... and it wasn't a funny joke... fascinating stuff!

Also, one more thing, maybe some newbies are conscious about looking like they're trying too hard? Anyway, I don't respond to plenty of people cos I know I'll get ignored, doesn't mean I never respond... because all my responses I don't expect a response to anyway... but, yeah! This makes no sense :(

i don't pay attention to registration date ... the point of this thread was to ask if newer posters did ... i don't know maybe it's weird for them to see posters that have been here for over 4 years
 
One thing to bear in mind also, is that this is a HUGE forum as far as forums go. Check out www.big-boards.com which is a site that lists the largest forums and boards, Literotica is one of the top boards for posts and members, (Just looked, according to them Lit is the 21st largest forum in the world on posts!)

There seems to be subcultures too, e.g. the GB, Playground, How To, etc. From what I can gather, many people tend to got to one of these subcultures, and do a lot of their posting there.

This board is perhaps a bit too big for someone to realistically respond to and post in absolutely everything, try clicking on 'new posts' at the peak posting time after 10 minutes of inactivity, there's tons of posts!

Okay, maybe I misunderstood you. I'll go ahead and offer an apology either way, since the likelihood of the misunderstanding being my fault is pretty high at the moment. To answer your question, then, frankly, I do see and notice a registration date. Overall, people that have been registered longer are the "veterans", and they get more initial respect from me, right or wrong. Of course, after a post or two, everyone's pretty much on level ground based on what I see of them.
