Are there cliques at Mylot?

I have been here for over a year and I find this site is very welcoming to an extent I was spending most of my time when I started here. As it happens other matters became secondary Now I take this for "granted" and visit whenever I can! There are no cliques here though one tends to look forward and support the few who gel with our thinking, style, topics and the quality of posts. I hope to be back to my active days soon - siva

No I haven't at all Freelanzer, it seems I bump into a lot of different people here at different times of the day. I know I am not in any clique that is for sure. Oh no, can't be boxed in like that haha

I don't think so, at least, not in the way I think of "clique." Using your high school analogy, I always thought of a "clique" as a group of people who didn't want anyone from the "outside," and made fun of people who tried to join. Sure, you have people who write about pets, people who write about food, or whatever. I tend to mostly write about music, because truthfully, it's all I know. But none of the people who frequent the music area tell people to leave because they aren't part of the "clique."

Just like in real life, there are some people you like more than others. That doesn't mean that you close ranks and won't let anyone else in, but it's natural to read and respond to people who do the same for you. But cliques as such - no.

I try to spread myself around

I don't think so either. I response to any discussion that is of interest to me. I do have people on here who I have become friends with that I reply to most of their discussions.

I dont know if there are cliques but i do check some people's discussions on a daily basis. It is just because I always find the things they are discussing about interesting. But i also try to interact with new members and check the recent discussions

Clannish mentality was there rampant in the old myLot and because of that those outside of those cliques suffered no end. There is a decline in the revamped myLot although I cannot rule out its total absence.

Because I have limited time to be on here, I tend to get back to those who are there for me first, but then I go to any discussion that interests me @Freelanzer , there are those here that I don't get along with but I just do my own thing. I do note there are those who stick to each other, but I think it is because they are online at the same times and have the same interests, etc.

Due to limited time lately, I have barely been around. I am guilty of making sure that I read certain mylotters and should try to read more of others as time allows. It is not as if there is a club really, or any formal arrangement at all.

No cliques. I tend to respond to those who leave comments on my discussions whether or not they are followers.

I've never thought about it but now I have, I don't think there are cliques here. I like to think I interact with a great number of people and there are only one or two that I might avoid or give careful answers to. I haven't noticed others sticking to a few people but as I said, I don't really take a lot of notice.

Yes I do think so. But I try to step out of the box and make more friends, if you want to earn money that is what you have to do, but I do have my favorite people to chat with.

I do have certain people i made sure to read there discussions, but i also respond to any interesting discussions that catch my eye to like this one for example, i can't recall seeing you're name pop up on my recent discussions befiore but it might have we don't always get to comment on everyones posts unfortunatley.

I dont remember there being cliques before or now. But I suppose there are folks that consistently respond to certain folks discussions.

It doesn't matter to me whether a person is fllowing me r not If they post a discussion that interests me, I will respond to it, so to me there aren't any cliques at least none that I noticed.It isn't right to do that, as there are lots on here that post interesting discussions, that are worth responding to, and they aren't any of my followers either. I do like to spread my time around as far as I can. Of course there are those that I follow, that I don't always respond to their discussions, as I don't have anyting usually. I will will just skip them and go on to the next one and so forth.

Not noticed anything like that really. I only have just enough time to respond to those that I can get to and post every so often.

No I do not think there are cliques.But there are some who respond and comment on certain people's discussions regularly.This may be because they are in the same timezones, share the same interests or simply like each other.

No, I can't say I have. We usually comment on the posts of those who comment on ours.

What I see here like other places is that friendships are formed and there are people that answer discussions they like and that they have formed a bond with some people here. I guess it is like life people gravitate to people they feel comfortable with and want to know more about them.
