there are many places where ppl wont feel left out and can make friends easily on IF! everyone in the invite only cc's obviously met each other elsewhere and got together here so ... its best to let things be in my opinion.

Well im not sure I think all cc's shouldnt be invite only because people do get left out but then it has to be that way because u like to chat with a certain group of friends with similar interests
But their should be a cc with everyone so we can have peace on the club and people get to know each other

I honestly do not have a problem with the "Invite Only" CC's because everyone has a right to their own privacy. I do feel bad though for people who want to make new friends because they are new to IF. But there are a few CC that are open to everyone too, so I think they should be able to make friends. Plus sometimes I've noticed in the "Invites Only CC', they have written, if you want to join send a PM to the owner of the CC.
Any new people looking to make new friends, feel free to join my CC the "Let's Make Friends CC". It's open to everyone! 😃

^^ point noted. I remember, when I was a really new member I popped in here and all I saw was Invites Only and I popped back out. 😆

So in solution to that, (like I mentioned in my first post, I just like to repeat myself 😆) would the mods be able to open a CC as a sticky? That is open to not just members of the CC forum, but members of IF through out? I think that would be a great way to meet more people. :)

exactly what i am doing now. i just came to this forum to check it out and the first page is all full of invites only. didnt really make me feel welcome. 😆 so i dont think i will be visiting here again.

awww.....i didn't even realize so many people were feeling so unwelcomed!! this is bad, but i don't think that's the intentions of any of the Invite Only CC's.

i'm not trying to spam the topic, but anyone of you wanting to make new friends, join my CC "Let's Make Friends!" it's open to everyone and anyone who wants to make friends! hence the name! 😆 we all are nice, but we're kinda crazy....especially me! 🤣

Um.... This is just my view.... I'm am personally very happy with the mods for bringing this issue up. I think for newcomers that r having a hard time making friends, it would be easier if they were allowed to chat with others. I respect the opinion of others when they say they only want a selected group to chat with, which is why I think there should be seperate chat clubs where people can come and chat. And those clubs will be for everyone to get to know each other...:)

hi!!!i suggest a new member welcome thread here,where members wanting to join a specific chat club can interact with members of that chat club and get to know them,before joining.the new member can also determine who they really want to interact with,this way.besides,there are non-"invite only" chat clubs which welcome everyone.i think people start "invite only" chat clubs only when they really want to interact with a specific section of members,so yes,im all for it.unfortunately,im unable to vote in this poll

i like the concept of invite only caz sometimes the group is talkign about something very personal which is between us only and someoen randomly comes and joins you is kind of wierd i think we should be allowed the invites only way because it just makes it easier for the memebers of the CC to interact with each other and keeping track of what's going on between them again INvites only doesn't mean we r bashing someone or any thing it's just to have the privacy and takign the freedom of having ur own group of people personally i am not comfortable with random people comin and joining the convo i need to know the person a little bit before askign him her to join me

Looks like I'm super late. 😆
Invite Only is defenitely a good concept. Like everyone else has already pointed out, sometimes all we need is a trusted, close yet small peer group to talk to. It is true that one always looks forward to making new friends but that does not mean that one would like new members pouring in everyday. For people who come looking for new friends - we can have a sticky common chat club for them, that would make things easier for them.
Making a CC 'Invite Only' does not mean that we're shunning out the new people, we simply want our small group to be intact.
On a lighter note, It would become difficult to remember each member's name if new members came everyday 😛
Let's just consider consider the 'Invite Only' tag to be the barrier which stops the town from getting flooded. 😛

Everyone doesnt think the same way !!! All people have different thinking and different imagination. The different CC's are created for people who think alike. If everyone is allowed then whats the use of creating different CC ?? We can just have a single CC and everyone can chat in that . But there will be many fights as some group of people may not agree with others. So it is necessary that we make the CC invite only becoz not just anybody should join it.

Also sometimes i may hate a serial very much . If its not a Invite only CC and if i openly criticize the serial then the new member who may join the CC will definitely feel bad and offended. He/she may think " Kya Sochke Main Ye CC Join Kiya ?" Also if the same member expresses displeasure that he doent like me criticising the serial then even i have to think twice before posting anything against the serial.A CC should be a place where we can openly talk about things.

If the CC members feel that a particular member thinks in the same way as other CC members then they should invite him/her to the CC. So Invite only concept is a MUST. Its not to restrict new members but its to restrict members with different views to avoid fights and to maintain peace in the forum !!!
