I don't think the clique takes it over but just friends who flirt or are very chummy.
I do find it mildly irritating when it's someone asking for help only to have their thread taken over and mocked. That doesn't really make the forums the inclusive place it should be. But the mods are good at sorting that out if it gets ridic. |

"Sometimes I just think 'take it to PM FFS!' when two people go on a 50-post back and forth flirtathon! 
I wouldn't mind some back and forth with you  "
Let's take it to PM   |

I don't belong to any mythical forum clique and I can count on one hand the number of members who been regularly posting here as long as I have...
I'm more than happy to have any of my threads hijacked....... |

"Due to being in a clique.
Do you find it annoying or not?"
I don't mind fella all I worry about when I start a thread is I respond to those I like and that I respond to any new posters so they feel welcome in the forums . |

Yeah basically. I mean the OP actually replies to everyone. That rarely happens on a thread on here - people just respond to those they like generally. |

I'm guilty of this at times, and of public back and forth flirting. Sometimes the enjoyment or confidence to do it is in the public rather than PM aspect too. Whilst I'm sorry if it irritates anyone, I certainly don't post with the intent to irritate the person who gets irritated (and have no power over that person's choice of response anyhow), I'm also perfectly entitled to post for my enjoyment as they are entitled to be irritated by it. Such is life! It's the same as the fact I get irritated with people feeling they can tell people to take it to PM and dumping their irritation on others -- they've every right to say and do it, it irritates me -- it's life! |

It's just a thread. If you start it and want it to stay on track then I imagine you need to respond to posts and engage with posters.
Otherwise sit back and just let people chat. |

I would think by the posts you make, you are self inflating, and don't like to feel undermined. JS  |

You see that's unfair. There may be a group of people who post regularly there that you define as a clique because they enjoy interacting with each other, but...it's unfair in that the whole spirit of that particular thread by erectjim is based on the premise of "everyone being welcome and in particular newbies" -- read the opening intro to the thread. Look at the fact that Jim answers every single person on the thread (despite getting teased for slowness as it's bloody hard work to keep up) and he encourages new people and reminds the rest of the gang in there to do the same. As Meli posted above, that's atypical of threads (bar some) on the forum re answering everyone -- it's certainly unusual to actively start by encouraging newbies to post. So whatever "feeling" you have (joking, pissed off, irritated, whatever) about why you think that's a "cliquey" thread actually you're being a bit daft, in my opinion.
Honey and I are starting the thread tonight and Jim will be joining later -- you're very welcome to join in and feel the inclusiveness, unless you'd prefer to be part of the clique that likes to pretend they're not for having human interactions!  |

Post! Interact! That's how you get a word in. Come on. Or start your own thread! So your frustration is that some people know each other a bit more and you feel left out -- people get to know each other by interacting/finding common interests etc, it's life -- you have to put effort in. |

Thread Hi Jacking has been around as long as forums have existed.
It's just part and parcel of Forum life and how they are. You can't stop it, it's best if you just respond to the relevant posts and ignore the tangent ones if it does bother you that much. |

Try wing chun. No roundhouses, and it's more punches and blocks.

There's loads of different kick boxing clubs and associations.

I can't ever go for another belt though. Caution for common assault and a total ban from WKU. I can help sometimes in my daughters academy but could never be an instructor on my own. |

I've always been made to feel very welcome on that thread, and I certainly wouldn't say I'm part of any clique. I just jump in and join in a conversation on things I feel comfortable with. Always see new people being welcomed x |

Thing is singling out that thread as being cliquey when the OP's aim is the oppposite is actually quite hurtful to him. Cliques/people all being familiar with each other (however you call it) beyond his control is one thing but digging at the thread premise is hurtful. As the overly familiar groups could do with breathing and being conscious of new posters without compromising their own enjoyment, the sarky "I tell the real truthers" of saying what's wrong and criticising others could do with considering if they care that what they say can hurt. |

And I'm probably saying this more based on the abuse I've had by PM and on forum in my time for daring to interact my way. People can be quite shitty. |

I've been here since before I had grey hair... I don't think there are cliques either, just people that like each other and interact. I don't join in on the night threads cos they go too fast for me but I smile from afar.

All the clique wait until the others are asleep. It's been that way since the beginning of time
*plans to gatecrash the clique later*
Come on by
But after jim has welcomed you thats it,you cant get a bloody word in,its just the vampires giggling away to themselves,i fucked of and went in the rock/metal thread then she went unlos!! Cant fuckin win
Post! Interact! That's how you get a word in. Come on. Or start your own thread! So your frustration is that some people know each other a bit more and you feel left out -- people get to know each other by interacting/finding common interests etc, it's life -- you have to put effort in.
I know how the forum works iv been in them for 5 years,and i was part of a clique until i fucked off,but im back more dry and acidic than before...only kidding im a pussy
Thing is singling out that thread as being cliquey when the OP's aim is the oppposite is actually quite hurtful to him. Cliques/people all being familiar with each other (however you call it) beyond his control is one thing but digging at the thread premise is hurtful. As the overly familiar groups could do with breathing and being conscious of new posters without compromising their own enjoyment, the sarky "I tell the real truthers" of saying what's wrong and criticising others could do with considering if they care that what they say can hurt.
I've been here since before I had grey hair... I don't think there are cliques either, just people that like each other and interact. I don't join in on the night threads cos they go too fast for me but I smile from afar.

"I'm guilty of this at times, and of public back and forth flirting. Sometimes the enjoyment or confidence to do it is in the public rather than PM aspect too. Whilst I'm sorry if it irritates anyone, I certainly don't post with the intent to irritate the person who gets irritated (and have no power over that person's choice of response anyhow), I'm also perfectly entitled to post for my enjoyment as they are entitled to be irritated by it. Such is life! It's the same as the fact I get irritated with people feeling they can tell people to take it to PM and dumping their irritation on others -- they've every right to say and do it, it irritates me -- it's life! "

I don't find it irritating as such, people should enjoy themselves in the way they wish.
However I do feel its rude in that they are disregarding the original poster with their own agenda / attention seeking. |

Surely the rule is that thread title and opening post is just a starting point - where to, nobody else knows until it gets there.
I'm disappointed if people insult directly or indirectly but it's the fab forum, a place with some freedoms. |

So many - unusual that "
The two messages (after some translation with their vulgar slang) amounted to something along the lines of "let's talk about something else" |

I don't really mind when a thread I start goes in a different direction. It's better than the ones I've started that get less than 5 replies
The only exception for me is when I start a political thread. I like those to stay on topic...but our friends in the politics forum aren't known for hijacking threads with flirty banter anyway |

Cliques happen when people interact with each other on a daily basis & in a forum it's usually more than one.
I dislike constant references to in-jokes or that someone should know what another person means because they're a regular poster. |

"Is there a clique still?"
Absolutely 100%
But the clique is a constantly changing entity.
Different people will be in on the "in jokes" which change all the time therefore the people in the perceived clique change.
I don't believe there's a clique club with the mentality of you can't join our ultra cool "in the know" club.

It's exactly this. You miss a day on the forum and you'll suddenly be outside of some joke or other. It's the clique attackers I often think are the non-inclusive ones. |

"Due to being in a clique.
Do you find it annoying or not?"
You'll find they probably do the same thing in person when speaking to others.
Someone starts a convo, broaches a subject or personal matter. Within a few sentences the person they're speaking to inevitably refocuses the convo or starts talking about themselves one way or another.
Sadly some people have lots to say but nothing to talk about. The art of two way conversation certainly is that.
It doesn't really annoy it just creates a grin and spells a few things out. |
