So how many different wee cliques and groups are there on fab?

Just wondering what the requirements are for membership and is it hard to join up?

I don't think there are cliques there are people who know each other through just chatting on forums or the chat rooms and from meets. Just because they chat on here and have the craic does not mean it's a clique.

Just join in with chats etc and people will chat back I find.

It's quite hard to join, rule is we have one clique each and only 1 member allowed. So OP, will you let you join yours?

Cliques are a natural part of life,everywhere you go in any social occasion or group of people they exist naturally. It's just as simple as a group of people who know each other!

They only people who think about or even notice them are the people who feel excluded from them.

Just remember a lot of people actually need them whereas a few actually prefer not being in them at all.

Yes is the formums there are cliques, it's natural, but instead of seeing them as that just that, see them as people who have known each other for a while, quite often talk/meet away from the forum ... it's not negative unless you choose it to be

It's the same in chatrooms or with parties ... only negative if you look at it that way as opposed to it's just a group of people who already know each other!

The genuine friendships on here are lovely. I like watching people have a crack with each other and the way we interact with people we know may be different. But those circles grow as more people join in and go to social events.

What’s not so nice are the influencers behind the posts that don’t say things publicly, but warn others off individuals in private. That’s not ok.

once again depends how the group operates and interacts with each other and how the effects of that are acted out on others, some cliques not necessarily on this site react in a very negative manner

That happens to me but I don’t see it as the clique. I just see it normally as men who want to have sex with someone else on the thread I’m sure they think if they communicate with you it will mean you think they will want to shag them. For the record... it doesn’t and I don’t

I don’t really see cliques though.

There are cliques there always have been on here but there are on most forums. I do smile when people mention it on a forum as you can see it makes some uncomfortable when mentioned.

But you do see it time and time again with the same people . Could be they’re more vocal on the forums and now just feel comfortable replying between; themselves given the choice . A clique to the exclusion of others lol

Its just an observation. I couldnt care less. I think i might be getting too long in the tooth to be taking stuff on here personally.

Although thinking about it i might just start my own clique but none of you lot are invited.

Anyway if you are in a clique can you join another clique?

I don't know about cliquey, but I don't really use the Scottish forum because it's primarily CJs chat, which I have no interest in.

I think that there are lots of friendship groups on the forum; requirements for entry vary from just being a nice person to shared interests and humour. People naturally gravitate towards communicating with those that are like them.

As far as the unpleasant side goes? Yes, people can be more welcoming and inclusive. It's something I'm aware of and I try and interact with different folk in a similar way to varying levels of success. Being ignored happens to us all though. The gossip side of things *can* be unpleasant and disappointing but focusing on you and being the best you can be means that'll you make friends and enjoy your time on here.

You can’t win on this thread. If you deny there’s a clique you’re in it. If you say they’re just friends you’re in it, if you’re overlooked it’s the clique doing it. People are stating that people are uncomfortable so must be in the clique. How on earth that be so?

I’ve been here three years and people have come and gone. If the clique was here then and is still here now how can that be? A lot of overthinking going on

Ahh but they are not a clique they are a group of in line friends that talk about people behind their backs, alienate and target people they dislike and have lovin's on introverted threads excluding others.

I agree Babs.. surely it’s only a negative if others are excluded deliberately from joining in.. that’s not the case with the majority of people on here. It’s a circle of friends that gets bigger each day!

This.

A clique is a group of people that ostensibly exclude others to their own advantage. To this point, there are groups like that but not nearly as prevalent as many would believe.

Just as with any walk of life, there are people who are warm and welcoming, there are lots of them around on the forums.

And how does anyone know that is what is happening behind people’s backs? Don’t all friends talk? What is so with with befriending people on here?

The term is used like a weapon of negativity that’s why people rebel against it.

You are entitled to think that if you like people like to fool themselves when the reality makes them feel uncomfortable as you obviously do. If you didn't feel uncomfortable you would just have ignored.

I think it's natural to reply to your friend's comments. I think some people forget that people on here often know each other in real life. I have a friend of over three years on here who occassionally uses the forums and we usually interact with each other when she does yet she doesn't know most other people I speak to on here. Other people have very long and close online friendships. It doesn't mean they don't interact with new people though. I'm constantly having new, interesting exchanges with new people.

I recently saw a comment on one of the "name who" game threads that you have to be in "The clique" to get named. I was named by a couple. I found that a little amusing as I still mostly feel like an outsider. I also find the idea of their being a singular clique funny as I know at least for myself that I don't know the majority of my friend's other forum friends. I'm also friends with people who don't like each other and I'm pretty sure friend's of some of my friends on here do not like me. As is the way of life. Unless that just means I'm not in " The Clique" tm .

On the subject of being or feeling ignored though; everyone feels overlooked at times to the detriment of others. It's the nature of forums and interaction.

If I post 20 or 30 comments in a day, only a couple of those might be commented on and many get overlooked for others that say much the same.

There really isn't a nefarious reason behind it. I realise that most comments get read and just because it's not replied to, it doesn't mean it wasn't valid. Just keep posting and being you, the more you're recognised the more people 'get' you and are more likely to react. That's not cliquey, that's just human interaction.

I think it can appear cliquey, when you get threads that seem to attract the White Knights & Lampost Pissers with their faux outrage , and / or need to rescue the damsel in distrress, in the vain hope they might get some sort of 'reward'

And how does anyone know that is what is happening behind people’s backs? Don’t all friends talk? What is so with with befriending people on here? I do think that people get targeted at times and it’s very wrong. Still not a clique though. A love in on threads? They all want the popular kids - still not a clique though.

The term is used like a weapon of negativity that’s why people rebel against it.

It’s all nonsense that gets dredged up from time to time in my opinion.

You are entitled to think that if you like people like to fool themselves when the reality makes them feel uncomfortable as you obviously do. If you didn't feel uncomfortable you would just have ignored.

As for how people know well don't be so naive some take delight in telling people who they hater and word gets out."

There will always be nasty people amongst any group. Just don’t give them the time of day.

I’ve loads of friends on here and we don’t waste our time talking about fab. Maybe you need to look at who you interact with...

"There are loads of cliques on Fab and in clubs but those in them get offended if you dare to suggest they cliquey.

The Scotland forum is very cliquey and woe betide you if you suggest cjs is less than excellent(its shite in my opinion)

I don't know about cliquey, but I don't really use the Scottish forum because it's primarily CJs chat, which I have no interest in.

Whats a cj"

Its like a blowjob but with your cunt.

"Cliques are a natural part of life,everywhere you go in any social occasion or group of people they exist naturally. It's just as simple as a group of people who know each other!

They only people who think about or even notice them are the people who feel excluded from them.

Just remember a lot of people actually need them whereas a few actually prefer not being in them at all.

Yes is the formums there are cliques, it's natural, but instead of seeing them as that just that, see them as people who have known each other for a while, quite often talk/meet away from the forum ... it's not negative unless you choose it to be "

I agree with everything you said with the exception of them actually being cliques. A clique intentionally excludes people as a group. That is the sole difference between a clique and just a tight knit group of friends who are familiar and comfortable with each other.

I couldn't give a stuff about a clique but I did notice that it does take a while for people to talk to you when you first enter the Forums. There is definitely a Wolf Pack... is that the same as a Clique?

I'm a loner anyway so just go about my own business and try to have fun. I've never felt the need to be a sheep. If you like me and want to chat, great, if you don't, no sweat.

Good lord just get on with your own thing. It really isn’t difficult to make friends around the forum unless you’re a complete bellwhacker. Generally bellwhackers don’t fair well but that’s bugger all to do with their being a ‘clique’. I joined Fab nearly 3 years ago, didn’t know anyone, no pics on my profile and hardly had anything on it. I found the forum and just kept posting where I wanted to. Yes there were friendships but that’s normal when ppl use the forum frequently, maybe meet or go to socials. There were the trolls but again no different than in the real world. I was told I’d never get a meet or be accepted without pics. It was utter rubbish, I just got on and did my own thing. I’m not around so frequently these days and the forumites come and go but as I did before I just post. The vast majority of folk are lovely just ignore the bellwhackers

On cliques there's the Fabswingers People's Front, the People's Front of Fabswingers and those splitters, the Fabswingers Popular People's Front.

Usually based around a central insecure, attention needy, self interest controllers/influencers. Propped up by fooled adorators, lackeys & stooges who's minds are not totally their own.

Good lord just get on with your own thing. It really isn’t difficult to make friends around the forum unless you’re a complete bellwhacker. Generally bellwhackers don’t fair well but that’s bugger all to do with their being a ‘clique’. I joined Fab nearly 3 years ago, didn’t know anyone, no pics on my profile and hardly had anything on it. I found the forum and just kept posting where I wanted to. Yes there were friendships but that’s normal when ppl use the forum frequently, maybe meet or go to socials. There were the trolls but again no different than in the real world. I was told I’d never get a meet or be accepted without pics. It was utter rubbish, I just got on and did my own thing. I’m not around so frequently these days and the forumites come and go but as I did before I just post. The vast majority of folk are lovely just ignore the bellwhackers

Yes there are cliques, actually easiest way of spotting is they back each other’s points up no matter how ridiculous they are, only to go against what they said on another thread.

Another way is start a thread e.g. Biggest boobs thread/nicest ass thread etc.. just so they can nominate each other and even some to self nominate themselves.. bit cringey but fun.

I’ve posted occasionally in the forum since I started popping in over the last month. I haven’t done it a lot but I don’t offended if a post is ignored! It’s clear there are tight night groups of friends and people who know each other well but unless anyone is clearly horrible to others (and I haven’t seen that at all) I think those friendships are a nice thing when they’ve grown organically over time. Why would anyone criticise the development of friendship?

I figure the way I want to work it is to drop in, say something if I want and if anybody wants to chat back great.

I always see a few in the club environment. Me and my partner hang out with anyone so a first all these cliques seemed at little old and we were a little critical. But as we've spent more time in the club scene it makes a lot more sense. Because it's hard to find people you really pay well with. So when you make good friends with mutual attraction and play really well together, this is golden. And of course the more you invest in playing together and getting more experienced with each other, the more valuable that becomes. So I understand now why so see tight cliques of groups of freinds in clubs.

What’s not so nice are the influencers behind the posts that don’t say things publicly, but warn others off individuals in private. That’s not ok. "

Be yourself OP and you'll probably soon find you'll start your own clique. Plenty of ppl watch the forums rather than actively commenting or participating in cliques and conforming to the requirements of the public social groups. You'll most likely find you develop fan mail from some of the lurkers just by being unique

I haven't read the thread but I'd say be yourself. You can't please all the people all the time.

In time you will be known for who you are and organically get responses from people who get you.

There are those who have posted for a while so it's natural for them to get responses from those that have got a feel for them.

Kind of wrong to pit individuals against said clique too, and that behaviour would only serve the said clique, js.

People purposely wind others up - surely not.

"It’s funny that most the ones that deny there been any are the ones that’s in it..

Tru dat, I don't think they know about it, it just is.....

Come on then Nippy name them or are you joining Dirkydirky in the ‘piss on the group’ clique?

If you don't know them then you shouldn't know them. It's not for someone to tell you because then they'd be CREATING a clique. I think you misunderstand the term my friend. Mostly I find it's the ppl who dont like change or challenge and herd together for comfort....

I understand the term but I’m wondering which group of people you feel excludes others deliberately for their own advantage. I think it’s unfair to bandy round the term accusing people of being in it without supplying any evidence or directing your accusations towards them. It strikes me as rather cowardly behaviour. I might be wrong but it is how I see it.

If you opened your eyes you would see it on many threads but then you don't want to see it which is rather cowardly in itself.

Thank you I’ll reflect on my cowardice and work on opening my eyes. "

You won't you are far more intent in fawning to people in the slim hope of sexual favours.

Try reading this is one of the milder ones the mods remove most of the really nasty threads.

There and to the left a bit

In the three years I have been using the site there have always been accusations and counter claims of there being cliques - and in all that time I have yet to see evidence of one, or feel that I am part of one - people come and go, people get to know one another and yes people sometimes feel excluded (often wrongly mistaking being overlooked for being deliberately excluded).

Taking the dictionary definition "A small close-knit group of people who do not readily allow others to join them." I don't think that applies - how can it on an open forum where people can post what the heck they like? And often do just to stir things up, or act in a self-righteous supercillious way - just because someone doesn't get responded to isn't evidence of a clique - it happens all the time to all members, because a thread is fast moving, because nothing more needs to be said in response to their post, because their point has already been made, or is made later in the thread more eloquently - none of those instances mean there's a clique.

Yes, some people may get ignored because they generally behave like arses, or have acted poorly in the past, again doesn't mean there is a clique just means they are an arse.

As has been said several times throughout this thread - there ARE groups of people who have got to know one another over time and therefore bounce off one another well and generally get along but that in itself doesn't mean there's a clique either.

This isn't the first thread about cliques and it won't be the last either, but the sooner people realised that there aren't any the better in my opinion.

"Like often in real like the cliques are full of men who are in the females friend zone but will do anything for a shag and females who like their male lieutenants ...

I'm recruiting to my fan club if you want in?

I never knew! Count me in!

Your membership card will be in the post. Thank you for pledging your allegiance.

Can I join? "

Of course! I need as many fans as possible. You need to at least pretend to be as desperate to shag me as the guys though.

You will of course always get those who are uncomfortable at the suggestion there are cliques but those who use the forums see it on a regular basis. They will try their best to shout they don't exist but people will always deny the truth as it makes them feel uncomfortable.

Call it what you want clique or not I see it more as a collection of bullies who pick on new posters at times or younger posters when they perceive them to be vulnerable and less likely to bite back. They take delight in putting down these new or less confident posters down and belittling them for what reason I haven't a clue but its rather pathetic for those watching on to see.

Not in the slightest bit uncomfortable at the suggestion just as I am not uncomfortable in my belief that there are none - you are of course entitled to your opinion, but I personally am of the opinion that it is flawed.

Yes people get jumped on, often rightly, sometimes wrongly, and yes sometimes it is down to poor behaviour both on the part of the person being jumped on, and those doing the jumping, but when it's the latter it still doesn't signify a clique though - in fact given the very definition of a clique which suggests someone being excluded, by responding to someone (even in a bad way) it's quite the opposite of exclusion.

As I said above the "clique" argument has raged since I joined the site and will continue to do so - with denials and accusations flying in all directions, it'll never be proven either way so becomes a moot point really.
