UK MEMBER CENSUS.

only a crazie would come out with a statement like that, i bet you're a communist as well

you may also need a sticker saying 'sane' as its quite confusing in there

i also blame morse for the crazies

and i blame jimmy nail for the crazies in the north east... him and his big nose

It's quite confusing out here!!

is there anything to stop me (or anyone for that matter) starting a SG Home Counties group which has a fair membership policy?

hey, i'm monkey from nottingham, nottinghamshire

Yes. There will be no other UK group. Staff have stated this on many occasions. Now please stop jacking my thread and carry on your bitching elsewhere.

Bendy, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Notts. Rarely there though.

jeeze, i was only asking ... don't worry i'll leave this thread and SGUK well alone if this is how it works.

Sup, I'm David from Manchester

Right, Im going to make this really simple. You need 2 vouches for entry into SGUK. Believe me that starting threads in SGEurope in an attempt to undermine the current group will not change this.

ok, sorry for coming across as an ass..

The bloke just seems to have started a thread in SG Europe entitled 'England', with no 'undermining' whatsoever that I can see, just an arsey comment in his thread from yourself...wtf is the problem?

Such wonderful recruitment, and general SG integration (as opposed to alienation) tactics you have.

Cold and wet. Bolllocks! Quackers. Go on our kid. Since when was SG a militia?

Ps. Alright Monkey. How you doing youth? Notts born and bred and left.

Cold and wet Prat

Pps. Actually. Why do give a fuck? Blimey.

im deak and im from stoke, staffordshire!

go stallions!

*chopper for sale see blog for details*

sorry couldnt resist im broke!

in response to your question ... I removed my comments from said thread as they were off-topic as SGUK is the definitive group for the UK and the UK can't be discussed in SGEurope. apologies for any confusion caused, i have updated the post with a note that it was been edited.

thread topic here is for the public meet of sguk in leeds, speak to coldandwet for details

Tobie from Kent.
And i'm in already, just adding to the demographic here.

Not bollocks actually. There have recently been a ridiculous number of (or jacking of) threads about whether alternative UK regional groups can be formed and each time, the long-suffering staff have explained why it won't happen. This isn't an SG member's decision; it is the decision of SG staff. As for those of us who have been on the site for a while, it gets a bit tedious to see the same questions pop up again and again, ad nauseum; when a quick use of the site's search feature (or the FAQ) would present all the answers anybody could ever want. That said, people sometimes don't know about the search feature straight away, which is why I'm mentioning it now: It really is effective.

As for the alleged 'unfairness' of SGUK's admittance policy, as coldandwet has already informed someone, only two vouches are needed from SGUK members; providing that you come off as a decent sort and reasonably inoffensive. It's not hard to comment in two people's journals and make an effort to get to know them. These are the people you'll be meeting in real life if you are admitted anyway, so where's the harm in saying, "Hello" on their journals?

I'm sure coldandwet couldn't give a flying fuck that some random is hemorrhaging any sense of credibility with inane insults, but you might if you're not careful: This is a staff notice for the benefit of us lot. It is posted on the CE board, but the rules still apply here.

Now perhaps this thread can return to its true purpose, which is for UK members to introduce themselves.

I love you. Lissom makes the point perfectly. This is an age old argument on the boards. use the search function and you'll find that this is a long repeated and drawn out debate. One which always concludes the same way. One Group, 2 vouches.

SGUK is really quite open. However we have no interest in becoming an extension of the boards and all the drama that ensues there. Therefore we have a minor vetting procedure which mean those people making consistently valid and thoughtful posts get in, and those who are dicks stay out. If you never comment, your not coming in because we have no basis on which to decide.

Ultimately the system works and has done for years. 20+ members join us most months and many of those integrate succesfully into the group dynamic, and subsequently attend our birthdays, homes and sometimes even our weddings.

Im sorry if some of you find this excludes you but I really dont think any part of it is unreasonable.

yeah, but wouldn't it be more fun with a picture or two of Brian Blessed?

well im tryin my best to get to know ppl on here, an im still findin things on here iv never noticed before!

it would be easier if i didnt keep gettin distracted by naked ladies!

but yeah hi to everyone! im a little shy tho so be gentle with me lol

Yeah ive never quite understood why people act like its some mountainous chore to apply and get in. Its not the sodding Krypton Factor, even I got in first time

isn't the point of this thread to get people to want to join, stop putting them off
