there've always been cliques on XIAH. the big difference is the cliques were way more entertaining to watch in the past ): now they're almost all sterile, snobby, and annoying.
but yea. between google and people on a moral highground preaching for a video game website to become "more mature", can't help but yearn for the golden days of flamecore and shitposts.

Know what we need? An NSFW version of FFXIAH.com, complete with a /b/-Random area. Anything goes, so long as it fits within the purview of U.S federal law, and *** GOOGLE.
Been proposed, was shot down because it would alienate the population of the website who doesn't make accounts or something iirc.
Lately I've been feeling like this place is becoming even more cliqueish than before. Every thread I turn to I hardly see individuals anymore but teams of people glued to each other. None of which I want to be part of.
Even in here most of the people I liked hardly ever post anymore, and others stopped altogether.
If I go in p&r there are too many toxic people that are clearly not interested in an intellectual discussion and it becomes just a recipe for sadness.
I've tried really hard these years to create a spot for myself, to try to make some friends even while perfectly aware of being a very difficult person myself with picky taste for people and too high expectations.
But now it's like I see all empty spots closed off, every opening where you could insert yourself walled by a chain of people that you either take in bulk or just give up altogether.
And now I think this place is just as lonely as any other.
and honestly think a few people who post are kind of awful.
I think this is going to be the most quoted on this page..
i pull no punches. those people probably know who they are, when they are. i can be cordial to awful people, but i'll flat out tell people they should just never post again if i feel it's appropriate.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
