Does NS General have 'cliques'?

I noticed in a thread welcoming a new poster on the forum that someone mentioned that they should 'join a clique' and get in on the fun.

I never really thought of it that way until now. I always just post on whatever I find interesting and respond to whoever responds to me. But now that I think about it, there are definitely groups who congregate to the same sort of threads again and again.

There are some who only seem to post on the 'fluff' threads, or some in the economics threads, or some on the 'anti-islam' threads. And then there are a few mega-monolithic old time entities who are everywhere on this forum.

So I guess the question is, if NS General has cliques, what are the divisions, and who are the ringleaders?

Beats the fuck out of me, which is incidentally how I feel cliques should be dealt with, too.

Heh. I don't know, maybe just posting a lot and appearing in the same threads all the time will make you a part of it.

I see you post a lot. Does that make us part of the same clique?

Theres not so much cliques as there are people who tend to agree with each other. For instance, in the Anti-Islam threads...you'll have people who agree with each other on both sides of the debate....same with the Israel threads..and the NK and Iran threads....atleast thats how I look at it.

To me, there are atleast two cliques.

There's the first clique:
PM, Glitz, You, WYTYG, CTOAN (eh?), Czardaz.. Smunkee (eh eh?), etc..

You guys are the.. um.. fossil spammer friends. I think.

Then there is the new clique that started to form in the Post of Death thread, and Choose Wisely (Thank you Peech :p):
People in this clique might be people like FD, La Dame, Tweet, Zilam, Grav (ad freak!), BritSter, TBD, me, etc..



I've brought this up long ago in a popularity thread and I think Smunkee kinda understood what I meant.

Cliques are like ideologies, only without their political or religious philosophy being in writing.

Yes, there are cliques on NS General. They're for the people who can't or won't think for themselves ... just like ideologues.

seriously, IRL I am accused of being "clique-ish" and then the same people bitch about me hanging out with "too many groups"

I hang out with people I like, the people I like are varied and unique, why do I have to "choose a group" why are there groups at all? what's with all the grouping?????

I generally flit between social groups, much like I do in RL. I've lost the youthful exuberance to defend my beliefs that I had in the fall (blame the Pedophiles are people too thread), so I'm no longer a debator, but I'm not proficient and silly enough to really fall in with the spam crowd.

No, no, there's definitely a "popular" crowd; it happens in every arena where many people are interacting.

One group of people end up in the "popular" crowd, and the rest of us just carry on either not caring, or being disapponted we're not in that group, and most end up in interacting with a section of their own. It's just like being in school, all over again.

the problem is you're so likable and popular that everyone assumes that to associate with Smunkeeville is to be special like her.
yeah, I think you are right, I had that in highschool, people would come up and talk to me and I had no clue who they were, but I didn't let on because I felt like if I said "who are you now?" that they would look stupid in front of thier friends they had brought to see that they could talk to me.... LOL


I got accused of being one of the "popular" people at church a few weeks back, because "everyone knows me", it's kinda hard for people not to know you when you volunteer for so much. :p

I'm loosely associated with the UDCP clique, and usually meander to the corner of the lunchroom where the anarcho-communists gather.

There are some who only seem to post on the 'fluff' threads, or some in the economics threads, or some on the 'anti-islam' threads. And then there are a few mega-monolithic old time entities who are everywhere on this forum.

Then there are those who watch, occasionally posting every now and again, but maintain an ethereal half-substantianl existence. I'd like to call this "clique" the Jawas. "Lurkers" sounds creepy and it's incorrect; I consider myself a perfectly amiable part of the community; I just only pop up seldomly.

And not only General - all over NS. Look in the right places and you think that you'd never left the pimply, gossip-plagued halls of your old high school... except now, there are no jocks (but there are plenty of nerds who hold themselves in the same esteem the jocks did) and the cheerleaders are really just middle-aged men in disguise.

Where is Peech? I want another thread, maybe it was the Post of Death or whatever, where we gave ourselves titles and then amused ourselves with ridiculously twisted fantasies.

By the way, I was HadesRulesMuch then, which is why I even remember it. I just tried to make a tribute thread to that one, but no one seemed interested.

Get the hell out of here! Hades!!? Where have you been? You and I were so good in that thread. I miss the days of the Kazoo. Sigh.

I cant believe you've been gone so long. Welcome back!:fluffle:

Wrong. You're from quite another clique entirely, but I suppose that depends upon where one stands on certain issues. :D
The "People I think are out to get me" aren't a clique, that's a paranoid delusion...There's a subtle difference...

To me, there are atleast two cliques.

There's the first clique:
PM, Glitz, You, WYTYG, CTOAN (eh?), Czardaz.. Smunkee (eh eh?), etc..

You guys are the.. um.. fossil spammer friends. I think.

Then there is the new clique that started to form in the Post of Death thread, and Choose Wisely (Thank you Peech :p):
People in this clique might be people like FD, La Dame, Tweet, Zilam, Grav (ad freak!), BritSter, TBD, me, etc..



I've brought this up long ago in a popularity thread and I think Smunkee kinda understood what I meant.

Really?

Im too new to catch the subtle differences I guess.

Well that first clique was basicly the people I noticed when I had my old nation.. They all seemed to get along and be in the same threads at the same time.

The second one is just who I think sticks close to eachother..

Feh, I need to take something.. head.. hurting..

Neither one of us has any authority over the other, if that's what you mean.

We each practice our own particular form of spamcraft with our own particular idioms, but we play so well together.

You should quote me on that.
