nellie2 Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 as I'm sure many of you know groups go through four stages (forming, storming, norming, performing...I think?) and when someone 'new' comes into that group they still have to go through that process.Tuckmans Model I do believe! :) click here if you are interested!

Sir Radfordin Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I'm impressed I managed to remember something from the first year of my degree. Perhaps it wasn't such a waste of time after all :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artist Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 That was an interesting article - and strangely, when I think back over the last 18 months of this forum, we did go through a similar sort of progress. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tankus Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Stage 4 suggests an ultimate purpose , and for the group to achieve this , to pass the first 3 stages , but then that depends on there is one , within a community.....

-pops- Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I may be having a senior moment here but what on earth is this all about? Note: that was rhetorical, I don't want an answer.Windows Forum was created for a purpose. That purpose is not too much concealed in the name. Why there should be five pages of near garbage (and yes, I do include my own contributions to it) on a non-existent problem which is nothing to do with Windows, I fail to understand.I think I'll have to increase my medication.

catgate Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 -pops- I may be having a senior moment here but what on earth is this all about? Note: that was rhetorical, I don't want an answer.You may not feel you need an answer, but I would feel to be failing in my duty as a member of this forum if I did not give you one (as they say).Prof. P J F Masterson had it all weighed up quite nicely when he said that the variable inactivity of an organism, organic, inorganic or cerebral, was primarily related to the inverse square of the negative proportion of the input versus the output defined by the equation R=(p/d+r2*pi)/((w*t/p)*2N). He was proved to be correct in all his observations on this sort of problem right up until the day those nice men came and took him away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djohn Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Well, that's explained it fully for me at any rate catgate! Thank you. :unsure: I will definitely increase my medication with immediate effect! :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest northamuk Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 DD, you started the thread therefore you can close it. Thread originators can close their own threads :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 DD you leave the thread open if you want to... But I can't see the point of debating something we can't change.People will post if they want to, we can't make them.We are not going to change our policy and deregister those who don't post.If members want to lurk then they can lurk, if they have something to say then I think we have all made it very clear that we encourage and look forward to their input.We can't do more than that really can we. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecow Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 I, for one, do not know what you mean, there is NO clique here, perhaps you would elaborate.Those who are part of clique never know it is there. The forum has a culture and it takes a while to get used to what is the 'norm' - as I'm sure many of you know groups go through four stages (forming, storming, norming, performing...I think?) and when someone 'new' comes into that group they still have to go through that process.Its the same as going into any new situation where there is a group. Think about starting a new job - do people go to lunch together, do people take turns to make the coffee, do you 'dress down' on Fridays - it's the unwritten rules that take time to find out and until you know them its hard to 'speak up' for fear of saying something that will appear stupid.This forum has core group of users who do make an effort to welcome in new people but to deny that there is any level of 'cliqueness' is just nieve. FYIFrom someone who don't post much on this forum (but I do on others) This post somes up how I view this forum, But I have to admit to be "part of a clique on other forums. No disrespect to anyone here i like lurking here and posting sometimes. All forums I believe are like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
