the top five posters in the current lounge, cliquey af..

[LukeB]

They use to be because when i first acknowledge the chat threads it seemed the posters were a friendship group but as the time went by loads of different members have posted in there and not been part of anything.. Ashley/bb6 are new members and been welcomed like everyone is because it's just a thread.. Cliques are really awful, i don't like them and never been part of one in my life.i don't sense cliques anymore

[Dollface]

When I first started posting in the lounge, I did feel a little bit unwelcome, i got ignored a lot and felt like some people were a bit blunt with me (not everyone though, i remember Scott being really welcoming!!) i think it was because i was a newbie?? idk. but somehow that all changed (idk when or why lmao -- i think it was because i got involved more in convos and ended up chatting to Lostie and Luke a lot about TV shows) and i haven't noticed any cliques

[Daniel.]

At least you can admit it

[Crimson Dynamo]

now we have the lounge on the go and the tea room?

carnage

It's cliquey because it's friendly. It's like sitting with other people at lunch in school. They all have had conversations that you haven't. It's not a bad thing, but always happens when there's a group of people who are friendly to one another. I'm not calling it a clique but I can see why people see that. It's more welcoming now, I think, but ironically, I feel less welcome.

yah but isn't a clique like a group of people who are in a friendship group and stuff? it isn't the case with most people in there now but yeah I see what you mean because most of the people you talked to don't post in there as much now

[Firewire]

By more welcoming I mean that the current posters don't tell others to post in other threads. I know that used to happen years ago when it was like The Igloo etc.

The Lounge is in a different section to The Tea Room

Well, The Tea Room is in the Private Section so not every member can see or post in it. But in answer to your question........ whichever one you desire, in a world full of tough dilemmas this isn't a big one really, is it?

There is actually three chat threads, the lounge isn't in the private area, the other two are.

It gives people a choice of where they want to post, if there a conversation going on in one that you aren't interested in you could go to the others

example, me and you aren't close at all but we still have a conversation about stuff. Cliques are groups of people that are close and in this friendship which was the case when i first started posting in there because all of them seemed like a friendship and really close.

Yeah I was referring to you when I made the post

But I don't know where people are getting the clique vibe from I feel like this is the most inclusive the chat threads have been.

[Black Dagger]

I don't really post in the chat threads these days because I don't find the conversations interesting enough for me to join in so I just let them get on with their own thing. If I wanted to chat in there I would though.

[Benjamin]

The chat threads will always have an air of clique about them and always have. Not always in a bad way but you'll find people gravitate to it and then talk more to those people and then they kind of hibernate there to talk.
