hahaha... yeah.. i gotta agree some of the outings are really
big scale. like how bear has mentioned, some events started off
small but somehow overwhelmed with people eventually...
anyway, i have been to a few other forum outings. so far, i would
say the people in sgforums get to mix with each other quite well.
furthermore, they dont really practice much of a old birds and new
birds system around here...
which is why i try to emphasize more on events whereby participants
have got things to do, rather than sit down and
talk.
no, i dont mean chit chatting sessions are bad. but i mean when the
crowd have something to play with, the level of awkwardness is
definitely diminished due to the minimal communication
required.
of course, this is achievable under the condition that the new
participants are willing to put in some effort to socialise as
well..
