Everyone loves me tbqfh, all of the cliques.

...

To be fair, I don't think TiBB is so much "cliquey" as it is just... Well established. It's an old forum with a lot of history and even members who have been here a few years are "relatively new". The cliques definitely aren't exclusive anyway, most will accept anyone, if anything they're all pretty desperate for me to join but I've held out.

... But yeah, I guess part of the cliquey perception is just the age of the forum and the fact that it's relatively small. There are a lot of references to past events / in jokes so I can see why people might feel left out.

E.g. Everyone knows that Niamh battled a near crippling addiction to potatoes a few years ago. Everyone knows that LT's wife left him because she caught him sending dick pics to Marsh. Little things like that. But it's a fairly accepting and welcoming place all in all... Like I said, it's not exclusive, people will chat to anyone who joins in.

And despite what SOME on this thread might say... SD's is fine too. You just need to be thick skinned and stubborn and an arsehole.
