I'd actually say, the group comes across as an "isolated pack" due to other members not wanting to engage in discussion in the chat thread rather than the "group" purposely excluding anyone. As I mentioned earlier, Drew removing himself from Riggins and moving over to the Lounge and posting that he'd moved over was to exclude himself. Did he feel driven out? Was he purposely driven out? No, he chose to do that and that's all there is to it.

The frequent users like Luke, Jay, Lostie, Tom, Ashley, Dollface, etc are not the type of users to pounce on a new member who doesn't 'have enough posts' or whatever either.

I feel a tonne of problems with the forum are being applied in one area and blamed on the same people and it's unwarranted IMO.
Steady on Marsh, I only posted in there twice. I haven't removed myself from it, I'm just taking my discussions elsewhere because it's impossible to hold a conversation for more than 2 posts before they get swarmed up in gifs, song lyrics or other people's discussions about things we don't have in common.
