With THCs new makeover there has been many changes and many additions most of them good especially the arcade which i think has persauded me to sell my PS3, after all who needs C.O.D when you can play Crab Volleyball???
However i personally feel the addition of groups is not a good thing, heres my reasons why......
Thc is only the second forum iv ever joined the other being a football forum which i no longer bother with, the idiots on the football forum were not football fans just goons who wanted to slag each others clubs off and didnt care for the game and probably never even played it. Anyway i initially came to Thc to learn about growing and my intentions was to ask questions learn what i need to know and move on. However i really started to enjoy the site and found most of its members more than helpful and really enjoyed chatting to them including the chat rooms. The good thing about Thc is that its always been a great little community where everyone tries there best to help each other and most of the times silly little arguments are usually sorted out in a friendly manner, i myself have had a few but always sorted them out. I was a bit gutted when a well known member was recently banned but feel both him and the mods could have handled it a little better and in the end he backed the mods into a corner and they had no choice but to launch him. Anyway at first when the groups came along i didnt think nothing of it until i recently just clicked on a link and seen a couple of groups that just didnt feel that they belong on Thc and before i go on to those who created them please dont take this personally as i dont have a thing against any of you, its just my thoughts. The Group that really caught my attention was the group for all "Old Timer Members" where you had to be invited and it was like an exclusive club. When i seen this i thought hhhmmmmm not really in the spirit of Thc as i thought we was one big community without these little clicks but i thought there is no harm in it until i looked at the posts and already there is a post on there along the lines of "in some of the new members we have dont you think they are rather nippy towards each other?" which i personally thinks a little bit of a bitchy thread, why couldnt this be posted as a normal thread and then maybe you will get the answers off these new members? but instead its posted on a group where only the members can comment on this. Recently there have been a number of people who have either left or considered leaving this forum due to not feeling like they are part of things and the creation of such groups can only lead to these people feeling further excluded from others from this site. Since iv been here iv noticed certain little clicks appearing and a small amount of mod botty licking but each to there own. I personally think these kind of groups should be left to facebook, i really dont think we should have groups that exclude the possibility for other members not to be a part off, creating an Us and Them forum as it will lead to back stabbing and bitchiness.
Anyway as mentioned this is not a personal attack on the creator of that group or the member who posted the new member comment thread but i just think such a group isnt in the spirit of Thc.......but what do i know, im a new member
Im considering starting my own group.........The Group against groups group!
