I don't find it clicky at all. I've never seen a post go unanswered in the forums. Not everybody reads blogs.

Just jump in and start posting.. I don't know anyone on here but I post and blog, blog and post and out of no where I get random friend requests. Definitely not my clique, but I'm glad to have an online support system.

I'm sure, as with ALL social gathering, there may be some cliques but they best way to infiltrate one is to just be consistently you, they tend to come to you. Or in my experience anyways.

I know there's a bit of a division is "old school" vs. "new school" bandsters as some have been very successful but have a weird attitude with newbies who seem to be very well informed and can actually question them about something or make them second guess a surgery they did like a painful tummytuck to reach their goal. They take it as judging and have a "wait til you get where I am, IF you even get there" type attitude.

But even with that... eff'em! All of this is just pixels on a screen....you hit the red X at the top of the screen or you turn the computer off and we all go away....Don't get your feelings hurt by it. :Dancing_wub:

I think there are less responses to blogs than there are to postings to threads. Just keep that in mind.
