>>>You've been here since Dec 2010. You have almost 2,000 posts. And you still consider yourself a newbie?

He revived a year-old thread. Isn't that normally a newbie-type action?

No, it's not exclusively newbie behavior. I've done it myself a few times when I was here for more than a year.

I guess I still think of myself as an outsider.

I'm an Australian who's still trying to understand American culture and language. I haven't yet figured out where I belong in Ram's caste system

Fair enough.

I didn't mean to come across as a jerk and if I did apologize. Just seemed odd a person with over a thousand posts referring to themselves as a newbie.
 
In my time here I've observed what appears to be 'cliques', but I don't think of it in a hierarchical sense. I just figure it's people who have warmed to each other for what ever reasons, and enjoy joking around / talking with each other.

In the very beginning, I felt like an outsider because at face value it seemed like everyone was such good friends with each other. It seemed that they all replied to each others posts and shared banter etc.
What I failed to notice though, was how many posts were much like mine and went without acknowledgement. There's a lot of people posting on JUB every day, it's natural for posts and people to blend in to the crowd.

I've gotten to know a few people on JUB now, I exchange regular PMs with them and occasionally banter with them on the boards, too. I'm sure to others now, it could appear that I'm a part of some sort of 'clique', when that's not the case at all.

Whether you've got a strong personality, whether you're personable and get a lot of attention, whether you post a lot and don't get many replies at all, or whether you're just a 'fringe' member that drops by occasionally to make a few posts here and there; you have your place and you fit in just fine.

Just make an effort to get to know who you want to get to know. It could just be by sending them the occasional forum comments, or opening up and engaging them in discussions on the boards or even via PM.

I certainly don't belong to any form of 'clique' here, but that doesn't mean I feel like I don't belong at all :)

It's not a caste system; it's a breakdown of reality.

You are the second last and the last section of the system. CE&P nutter slash dead cow.
