IMO This board is a hell of a lot better than some I've been on. I used to go on another board and the rows on there were absolutely unbelievable! People would actually arrange fights at the next rave/club event! I even got told by one guy on there he hoped I died of cancer!!
So believe me.... this board is like a Buddhist monk colony compared to some of them!
It's inevitable that with 20-50 regular posters not everyone is going to get on. Yes, sometimes things do get heated and some people do feel like there's a gang mentality. It's because some people on here get on well, meet up frequently etc, so they are friends aswell as board posters. TBH the cliquiness doesn't bother me, some things I join in with, some things I don't. At the end of the day I'm confident enough in the fact that when it all boils down to it, the majority of us on here don't really know eachother and at the end of our days we all go home to our respective partners, friends... our "real" lives(!) and I forget everything that's been posted. So don't let what goes on in here affect you too much
