Laura's Journal
A little insight to my dull life.
Public entry Right, I've acted like an ass.

Read on for more...

TFS has just gone through a vast change.
A couple of people have got the impression that I don't like these new members. This is not true. I have no issues with these people whatsoever.

What I have struggled to come to terms with is the fact that they seemingly had a set of rules just for themselves, with their very own mod. Also it felt very, very cliquey, as this ma** of new members already knew each other and this left myself and a number of other members feeling quite pushed out.

I would like to publicly apologise to any of the MMers if they have felt that I've made them feel unwelcome.

I found the large surge of posts where older members had absolutely no idea what was going on, ever so slightly intimidating. I don't know why, and I don't know if anyone else felt the same.

In the long run, I shall not be leaving TFS. I will stay. Even if this means that I have to take another little break.

Hopefully all of this will die down soon, and the two groups can merge and debate without getting heated.

To any MMers that may read this - welcome.

Thanks to my friends for making me stay.

Hello Laura and all of the others who've felt a bit blindsided!

We can absolutely understand the upheaval our ma** exodus from MM must have caused in your lives... And we honestly didn't realize all our posts showed up on the home page and drowned out the usual posts. Sorry about the confusion and the "overwhelminess" (is too a word ) of it all... And thank you for the welcome.

As I said in one of the other threads- it is certainly not our intention to "take over" TFS- a lot of us are just getting used to the interface and all that. Give us some time and a chance and you'll see we are a pretty good bunch of folks and as we get more used to TFS, you'll find us integrating better.

We were regulars on another forum and absolutely "get" what a sense of community is and how it can feel threatened when a lot of us are bumbling around... We are here in the first place BECAUSE we value that sense of community and want to protect it too. As we all get to know each other better, I hope that will become apparent y'all too.
