      However, what I've noticed is the there is a large amount of bulling which goes on here especially form long term members on new members.

      I wonder if that's why there are so few recent members.

      Instead of constructive arguments or debating points the 'good ole boys' of the Forum just indulge in insults.

      it looks as if they want to scare new members off and keep it on the 'ole boy network'.

      I don't know if any recent members (if there are many still here) have experienced this verbal bullying too.

      Some of the main bullying appears to be from the administrators as can be seen from my profile (controlled by them)

      "Lurker not a fighter

      Craic is slower than a 486"

      These people need to get a life and stop scaring new members away.
      its easily one of the most ruthless forums I've been on, 99% of all posts are just forum veterans bashing other forum veterans, there is very little non CUK content these days it seems - cant see it changing so you may feel its not worthing sticking around - that said the non General forums are generally good just not very active

      I would pay no attention to the Rep thing, no one knows what it is for or why it is even a part of the forum, it's not a Q&A site like Stack Overflow....

              So, it's not for serious discussion?

                  of course it is.
                  but remember that most of the topics have been done to death a dozen times, people get a bit bored covering the same ground over and over. So they try to make it entertaining

                    no General isn't, business and other forums are - although Techincal can get flamey as the regulars like to carry on their spats over there

                    but yeah if you want non insulting discussion about general stuff try another forum - seriously

                      It can be but you need to do better than 'IMO these countries are good/bad' and the weird 'Who would you like to see dead?'

                      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
