Nah, I think my invite got lost in the mail...
Not, really. I keep hearing about a clique but I am not sure anyone has really mentioned who's in it.
Here we are at our latest meeting.

Ask Arthur Dunger he has the list
So, who is in this clique I keep hearing about?
The clique is strictly no mulletAs far as I'm aware it's just edgie and Doctor Feel.
Yes, that's what I thought. What's the minimum number of members to qualify as a proper clique?As far as I'm aware it's just edgie and Doctor Feel.

I don't think there's a clique per se - I think it's just that people might feel intimidated when they post something that others might belittle or criticize them for. Unless you've got a strong personality type that can get your point across with something witty or clever, I can see why people would think they are relegated to the sidelines in discussions. Everyone remembers a Tribey post, or El_Scorcho's irrational love for Butcher etc. and it's hard for someone new to break through that wall of constant chatter to have their opinion heard.
I'm Janus, and that's my take.
A handy tip is to put the word 'clique' into a word search for the Port Board and the one's who use it more often than others are generally members or wishing they were.Ask Arthur Dunger he has the list
OKay, so now we have sorted out the clique issue, what are we going to do about the growing coterie of people supporting TeeKray's appointment? You can't let a coterie get out of controlThat's just life. Playground rules and all that. You just have to earn your stripes through your deeds I guess. I don't think anyone goes out of their way to belittle others just because they might be new to posting here. Most posts are generally treated on their merits. That's my belief anyway.

Fair points, particularly re that some could feel intimidated, I know a couple of posters from the old site who bailed out on BF fairly early in the piece because they couldn't handle some of the responses they received.
Re the existence of a clique, hmmmmm not sure, but I did notice when I first joined that some long term posters could go very close to crossing that fine line of good taste without being censored, while others would cop the right foot up the left ventrical before the ink had dried on the page.
Maybe it's something to do with earning your spurs.
Magpiespower still MIA.There isn't a clique. There are however some posters who post more than others and are therefore more recognisable.
Just take Magpiespower for example. Had barely been here 10 minutes and had already gained a cult following because of the general high standard and hilarity of his posts.
Just get in and post whenever you feel like posting in whatever thread you feel like posting in. If people like what you post, great. If they don't, why would you care what a bunch of people you've never met think anyway?
Dunger just likes to think there's some sort of clique that randomly decided to personally target him because it's a more palatable version of events than what actually happened, which is that posters on the Port board individually considered his recent posting and 95% of them independently came to the conclusion that he's acting like a dickhead.
