      I want to know why I was not put in a sidebox (with a pink border) labelled “Clique Mascot”.

      Because the mean girls were leading whisper campaigns against you. Duh.

        This is how I best understand the clique membership, but I could be wrong:

            Our mascot arrives, starts licking the peach, refuses to elaborate, leaves.

                            Jesus Christ, you guys. I stop posting for two months and all of a sudden I’m friends with Roz and Hellfrog? It’s like you fuckers don’t know me at all.

                            don't even know me

                                  If we’re friends now, I expect your meme tax to be paid regularly and on time. I recommend adhering to a weekly basis to avoid the panic rush of looming deadlines.

                                  In order to save on clerical fees, this can be submitted in the same conversation as us making vague noises at each other about how we should RP but not actually doing it.

                                      I walked away.

                                      Ultimately, I don’t think there’s going to be any changing minds on that board, and I was twisting myself in knots and refreshing the damn page every few minutes for several hours. That shit ain’t healthy, especially for a place that isn’t going to reciprocate.

                                      I’d rather focus on making content here.

                                      This means there’s probably an anime thread in your future, for which I apologize. ( Except I ain’t sorry. )

                                        @Solstice Yeah, there was a two week span I just stopped everything over there, and then one day everything exploded again. It’s hard to not call out the blatant hypocrisy, but it’s probably never going to stop.

                                        Especially when Ghost is going to stir shit up and then play innocent like he’s not the one who keeps restarting things after they die down. On top of the MSB admins just… ignoring him breaking their rules right in front of them. Just keep piling up the evidence that it wasn’t actually about making a better forum. Because if it was, again… they could have gone and made their own new forum. I’ve been told a couple times now it’s not that hard.

                                            Too-serious hat on:

                                            For the folks celebrating, it was never about having their own space free of the people they’re demonizing, it was about driving those people out of the space they were already in.

                                            This makes perfect sense in a context-less vacuum. We do it all the time with folks we consider toxic to the community/hobby, and I will argue that in a context-less vacuum that is generally a good thing. Unfortunately, in-context, the people doing the driving are largely the people who have been on the receiving end of the ostracism (or, heaven forbid, having people tell them to shut the fuck up and stop being an asshole now and then), and they were not on the receiving end of the community’s ostracism because we’re all just catty bitches, but because they caused genuine harm and, in many cases, seemed to absolutely thrive on it.

                                            That’s not the majority of the folks left on MSB, though I’m not particularly thrilled with the behavior of the majority of folks left on MSB. But it’s the majority of folks that have stepped into the vacant spaces and are now making threads about how they’ve vanquished the evil bad people who dared to tell them to stop being awful. It’s the answer to my previous rhetorical question of “why are you lying about this?” Because it serves their needs and they’re taking victory laps.

                                            In any case, I think this thread is largely beneficial. There’s a spot to be angry, express hurt, make stupid jokes about same, and bolster each other. If it’s clique behavior to say ‘you’re valid and you didn’t deserve this’ in the context of what happened, then oh well. Yeah, the people taking victory laps are reveling in people being angry/hurt where they can see it, but in the end, they shouldn’t be factored into the equation of what folks need. In time, things will heal; not as regards the current rift, but as regards genuine emotional injury, and this thread will rest.
