Just thought I would tell you of my experience with The Craft Forum... not sure if any of you are on there? Tricky to navigate I found... but...
Anyway, as im TRYING to get a group of people in my area with nice, good quality bits and pieces... I thought I would put a "post" introducing myself and adding the details of the local fair Id like to get people to do. There was no reply.
So I started a "thread" which people see easier. They all seemed a bit "clicky"... but it said to introduce yourself so I did... no response.
As I believed is to be ( as here is ) a good place to network, advertise, chat and share etc... I tried to add my website and blogg spot.
It was edited by someone. You need to write on there 25 times before you "qualify" cause you MAY be a spammer!?
I said " oh, just trying to network, sorry... wont bother then".
I was told I must have "suspect reasons" for being there then, if I couldnt wait to write 25 times!?
HOW RUDE! What does 25 posts matter... I could "spam" after 26, if I wanted ( and knew how to and what that meant!?)
Whats the point then... how do people know who they are talking to?
Not like any lovely people here who just want to share and be honest.
Such an odd experience...
Talking of "suspect"... you should have seen the craft I DID see... HMMMM... suspect indeed!
Have y'all a lovely weekend ladies!
Im going to take my "insult" out in some "crackling"!

i've tried to get into that forum too! found exactly the same thing - in face I was shouted out of the place after my first three posts!! don't even know what I said was wrong either! their admins are really crotchety and I've found the whole place very unfriendly. Heaven forbid you even mention you sell anything and they all get up in arms about you spamming the threads and using it for self-promotion!! I despaired as i wanted a uk based forum to get into. Then I found Crafter..oo! which is brilliant and you can promote yourself to your hearts content. If you haven't found it already there is a link to it on my blog - Mwhahahahahahhaaaa - tee hee - though i'd make you go there! seriously though - here's the link:

like all places it takes a little while to get used to navigating around but it is a great friendly place.
