OOC One, almost every section I can think of on the forums is cliquey as heck. Art forum, warriors general, warriors fan fiction, even warriors fan clans, definitely OTD, kind of OTRP (they more like have mini cliques.) The only ones that don't are the basically dead ones.
I've tried really hard to fit into a lot of these places and somehow, never seem to fit in. I find it stupid. Cliques are stupid and I've always tried my best to never exclude anyone like that. Why on earth are people here so cliquey? And why are basically no cliques nice?

I feel like that's sort of a natural side effect of splitting this place up into several sections; people befriend others from their section and then don't talk to the people who don't share their interests.

mm
like rust said, its a natural process that happens everywhere, not just here. I don't know why you think no 'clique' is nice. In my experience most people are pretty welcoming and friendly? You get the occasional individual with an attitude but, you know, it happens. its the internet.
warriors general, for example. I go there from time to time and ive never felt unwelcomed or alienated from them despite the fact that not many people know me there. They come off as 'clique-ish' cause they all know each other. same with OTD. we know each other so we're gonna treat each other more like friends than strangers. I don't think anyone is intentionally excluding you from things

why is it people always use the "this place is cliquey" as the reason they don't like this place
how about "this place's members tried to cover up a history of abuse because the member who was abusive was someone they liked" ffs this place is crap but not because it's cliquey

Some ppl like popular ppl /s But honestly, it's harder to actually talk to ppl in my opinion because we're all generally older now so we don't just like.. Talk anymore. I find that there's those who'll talk to anyone and the those that don't bother. It's very mixed on this website and can be unwelcoming. It's kind of why I don't care to make friends and just mosey on Like any of my forum friends were met in my rp aside Nochi who I befriended via cah

OOC I'll explain what I meant.
I'll go to certain places, and I'll post there, now there are plenty other people that post there. Then there's this main group of people, who only post on each other's threads and completely ignore anyone else's. Even if I go and post on their thread, try my hardest to be friendly and welcoming, I'm still met with plain old silence. It's happened to me in warriors general, warrior fanfiction, the art forum (lemme tell you, I've had to stubbornly stick around there to actually get people to pay attention to anything), and other places too.
OTD usually has only like, a few members who bother being nice, and the only places that don't really do the above is like, forum games, most of OTRP, sometimes fan clans, and any dead area.
This might be different for you guys, however this has been my experience and that's what I'm sharing. In my personal experience, I've dealt with this.

well you also have to realize that EVERYONE in the so called 'cliques' were like you once we've all had to sit for weeks and months before we got noticed you have to show them you want to be there and they'll accept you. You have to be stubborn and not give that up
that's how I got into the different places I'm at now, and if you get a free pass it isn't rewarding at all working for it really makes you appreciate it

That kind of diminishes the entire idea of being welcomed. It makes it seem like you have to prove that you're good enough just to be there. Plus, let's say you stay stubbornly there, what, these people will just magically notice you after you've been there a year and suddenly accept you for one of them?
I don't mean to sound rude, I just don't see the point in having to prove yourself just to feel welcomed somewhere.
