FAC Cliques? O.o

IndagoFeather · Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2006 9:49 am Post subject: FAC Cliques? O.o

(Please forgive me if I didn't post this in the right section, I'm a bit rusty outside the RP forums, )

Have you ever noticed how there these forums have gained their own groups of some sort? You've got that little group of people you almost never see leaving the forum games. The Roleplaying section is merely dotted with a few members who post elsewhere, and then we have the more famous members who put in the effort to poke their heads out and participate in the main forums.

I must admit, I don't remember the last time I stepped out of the RP or art forums. ._.

I doubt these little cliques effect the community in a bad way... I just find it weird, you know? :/

What do you think? Do you like the idea of people grouping together, some being ignored, others put in the spotlight just for being out there?
I suppose those who participate more are more deserving of custom titles and such but I still get the feeling that some of us shyer or less interested members are being left out somehow.

"us shyer or less interested members are being left out somehow." ~is exactly that.

I used to only go in the RP forum, but I decided to get to know the randomites. It's not so hard, you just gotta be out there and stuff.

I post everywhere, so I don't see what the problem with the groups is. You can always make yourself part of it by posting in there D:

I guess I'm part of the new group, but I don't feel like posting in the introduction area. I have been a member for awhile under a different name but never posted in the forum.

I post mostly in Art and Random. And contests, I guess. 8D; random's been sucking lately, though.

Wow. I'd say that posting in other places is a good thing, though it's certainly a bad time for Random. :l Which is unfortunate, since that used to be the place to post if you wanted to get to know most of the forum members in one go.

Most of the more interesting members have either left (because of school or otherwise) or - more likely - gotten banned (which I have my own theories about but, given the current state of the forums, are probably better left unsaid - ah, ~~military regime~~ censorship). Which probably resulted in other people leaving, lol.

So most of the people left are either assholes or people who post inane garbage when it's not necessary nor wanted (the beauty of spam/old random: it was still mostly dumb trashy topics, but at least there was intelligent discussion about them. Now we just have the random person come in and post some junk like their cat just walked across their keyboard or something. ~~"Hey, it's random! So I can just post something stupid and totally irrelevant to the topic because I have nothing to contribute, lololol"~~) I don't know which I dislike more, but it's not like I can do anything about them. :l Given that it is called "random" and all.

OKAY I AM DONE VERBALLY FELLATING

what... like two people were banned, and one of them were one of your "Hey, it's random! So I can just post something stupid and totally irrelevant to the topic because I have nothing to contribute, lololol". i do miss tyler tho, still unlcear what happened with him Sad

yeah, it gets this way every year around this time. when spring break comes, its going to get more full. i remember approvals piling up last year.

and then summer is gonna come around and FAC will get packed again. happens this way every year. it's not just one person leaving/getting banned, but its funny to think that way ^^

I liked it best when the new forums went up and there were few people that posted. Quality not quantity Smile

It was all good until Ambush came around... then it was fine again... until a giant queer joined and invited his giant queer friends. Smile

lol, actually. not once did I say that. nice of you to selectively derive the one meaning i didn't mean out of what i was saying. besides which, kitzy, gray, layz, and amy don't post as often as they used to, which was what I was getting at. People are leaving. lol, Squid doesn't ever post anymore, either. :0

+layz banned tyler cuz he posted censored porn

I SOOOOO did not ban Tyler.

Seriously though.. i didn't. I didn't even know who he was.

I don't post as much cuz I'm busy and all. When I get free time I wanna try and get things done. When i get around to just wanting to dick around in the forum darian wakes up.. or darian throws a fit.

I'm so tied down. Laughing
