There are cliques and groups in every area of life.
It's human nature for people to associate with others and form groups.
You can't honestly expect it to be any different here.
Get over it, most people will take you on face value anyway if they have any maturity about them.

So does exclusive now mean private parts of a forum? The way I understand it, it could mean a whole load of things ie the ability to post total garbage and not have your thread trolled.

Edit: No offence to Gilly, just an example of attitudes towards certain forum members etc.

Gilly and the others, say what you want. There is a clique... defiantely 100%.
BUT, there is only a clique because of people going to meet's together, becomming friends. The older members (in terms of forum age, no birthday age) obviously are more known by as they see their name's mentioned more often. Is the "clique" turnings people's opinions and effecting GD decisions ? No... simple answer.
I'm not a big reader of the GD my self, more of a motor, sports and console poster (As the regulars in there will of seen), why ? Because of the poor state of the GD. I don't want to read what people are having for their lunch, in the GD I want to see proper discussions, not flaming.
Couple of ways in my eyes to solve this. Either people start to use the RTM button's more, or there are more mods on the forums.
Dicuss...

Does it get much gayer than that?
A significant part of my PhD is on cliques
I thought I would come here to escape it, unfortunately it follows me everywhere.

GD closes between 8pm and 10pm, RichL got her first, but it's only another excuse to go out 
It could be said that certain people belong to a wee 'clique' of thier own . As it happens I don't think there any really. There are just people who know each other well (either on the forum or off it) and tend to post in the same threads and get each others sense of humour and get a bit of banter. If that is supposed to be a clique then there are loads of them
Anyway, closing GD for a while, certain things considered it doesn't surprise me one little bit. Would I have minded a year ago... yes probably, do i mind now? Well i will let you work that one out.
