Not really. I mean I see some people obviously correspond with others regularly or more than others so they may have some inside jokes but I don’t know about cliques. I do see a bit of member “worship” that I don’t exactly get. Ok maybe worship is too strong a word, fandom? I don’t know, some members have maybe been here a long time and have a following.

@dreamsicle I do have people I have known since EP days, literally years of aquantice with them we have developed some "inside" jokes over the years.
People do tend to form a type of friendship over years of knowing someone.
It is only a popularity contest if you make it one.
Why anyone would want to is beyond me.

@SW-User If people form friendships that's one thing. The popularity contests I'm referring to are the threads started from a ember of the clique asking you to name the nicest member here, the best looking, people whose photos you like to see, etc

@chuck7882 That is a bit silly,but I just take it with a grain of salt.
