"Every few months, this comes back around... It's the nature of any group of individuals that some will get on better than others.

"I've just popped back in from a somewhat extended sabbatical. Barely recognise any names and the majority of those that used to regularly be accused of being in a 'clique' are nowhere to be seen. So either there's no clique, several cliques, everyone's changed their names - or membership of any clique is fluid and just down to whoever is apparently popular at any given time. The one clique that appears to constantly be here is the one full of people accusing others of being in one. Which has always been the case. As always there'll be frequent posters, old friends and those more familiar with some than others and more likely to interact and banter with them. That's life. Suck it up buttercups cause it'll never change. A" | |||

"Never seen this? A person new to the forums voices a valid opinion on a thread topic but the clique only answer each other's comments and the new person is basically ignored. No matter how the person tries to join in they are ignored like they aren't there. Some people give up and leave the forums. Some people become angry at being ignored and say inflammatory things to get attention. Then the clique stand together and shout the person down. Hasn't happened to me. But seen it so many times. I come back onto the forums every 6 months or so. Mostly the players have changed but the ostracism of those not daily on the forum never changes." Ah but if you were mid conversation and someone just marched over and interrupted, how would you respond? Quite often people are having a discussion when a random comment pops up, should everyone stop what they are doing to answer? | |||

"I've just popped back in from a somewhat extended sabbatical. Barely recognise any names and the majority of those that used to regularly be accused of being in a 'clique' are nowhere to be seen. So either there's no clique, several cliques, everyone's changed their names - or membership of any clique is fluid and just down to whoever is apparently popular at any given time. The one clique that appears to constantly be here is the one full of people accusing others of being in one. Which has always been the case. As always there'll be frequent posters, old friends and those more familiar with some than others and more likely to interact and banter with them. That's life. Suck it up buttercups cause it'll never change. A" Hurrah

I'd feel like they were already talking about something and accept that I don't deserve everyone's attention just because I have an opinion. | |||

Many give up the second they don't get the instant responses they want. Many go on to bemoan not getting the desired attention, which doesn't do them any favours. Some give up. Some carry on. Some get stressed by it. Some see it for what it largely is - random strangers who'll never meet in real life talking shit on a forum. If it becomes a negative experience then walk or take a break. If you honestly think that online attention is the be all and end all then give your head a wobble. Sure - it feels nice at the time.

When I first ventured on to the forums, it did feel like everyone knew each other, and it took time for people to interact with me. I viewed it a bit like joining a new club - there will be those who are quite happy chatting away with their friends and never bother with the new faces, and there are those who will say hello, if you make the effort to say hello and give it time. If someone starts being controversial just to get attention, I think they would only have themselves to blame if others take umbrage at this. Imagine it in "real life". The new person who comes in shouting "Look at me! Come on! I'm going to be controversial over here!" is bound to take some flak. They are in charge of their own behaviour. Mrs TMN x | |||

However, we have met a few truly beautiful friends through the forums, so it’s worth the occasional effort. It is what it is I guess. It's not a personal rejection, although it feels like that to the newcomer. Are we not all newcomers at one time ... if newcomers were bullied of because they're new ... no one would be here As was said above .. a lot of the old regulars aren't here ... so the "old clique" isn't ... forums and groups develop and evolve ... that's just how this sort of thing works ... in many different forums on many different sites "Like I said. It is what it is. Not criticising it or pointing fingers at anyone. Just saying I've observed this in action and it's a thing. | |||

"And that's the point.. we all know the clique names.. I will not mention them by name but blow smoke up people's arses and mostly creeparses with no opinion of their own Ah, here it is, I was waiting for this, you talk about people being bullied then start insulting people and making snide remarks.
Insulting who exactly ?"You did suggest I might be a dick. Then stopped replying to my comments. | |||

"Never seen this? A person new to the forums voices a valid opinion on a thread topic but the clique only answer each other's comments and the new person is basically ignored. No matter how the person tries to join in they are ignored like they aren't there. Some people give up and leave the forums. Some people become angry at being ignored and say inflammatory things to get attention. Then the clique stand together and shout the person down. Hasn't happened to me. But seen it so many times. I come back onto the forums every 6 months or so. Mostly the players have changed but the ostracism of those not daily on the forum never changes. Excellently expressed and so so true.. I wish I was that eloquent but 200% agree" Cheers | |||

I come back onto the forums every 6 months or so. Mostly the players have changed but the ostracism of those not daily on the forum never changes. Excellently expressed and so so true.. I wish I was that eloquent but 200% agree This is almost our experience. Almost everything we say gets ignored, even though we’ve been posting for months.

Just saying I've observed this in action and it's a thing."Ever moved to a new town ... think you'll try the local hostelry where you now live ... walk in and the locals suddenly stare ... but gradually, the more you go, the more people get to know you and the friendlier it becomes?

Ah but if you were mid conversation and someone just marched over and interrupted, how would you respond? Quite often people are having a discussion when a random comment pops up, should everyone stop what they are doing to answer? This isn't a conversation. It's a forum not a chat room. I had a thread today where I responded to nearly every single comment. It's not just possible it's what one would expect. If you walked up to a group of people and said "Hi" and everyone ignored you, and every time you made a valid point you just got ignored, how would you feel? It is a conversation though, we are discussing something. You expect people who start a thread to respond to every comment? I'd feel like they were already talking about something and accept that I don't deserve everyone's attention just because I have an opinion. No I don't expect everyone to respond to every comment. But to only respond to other members of the clique is to exclude those not in the clique resulting in two conversations in one thread. The clique conversation and non clique conversation. " Oh ffs really? God forbid should friends talk to each other. This has become very childish. | |||
