Not sure.
Tell you what - I'll start a thread about whether a thread about whether threads are cliquey or not is a thread people think is cliquey.

Yeah! A lot of those bloody cyclists on here seem to huddle together a lot of the time!

Who's that Noodley character? He's not part of this clique!
Clicky, definitely.
But, yes, I think it fair to say that some threads are. I've even found myself making those hidden reference type remarks that someone else would understand but a newcomer wouldn't. And that, for me, is the definition of cliquey.
I think it is to be expected though. CC is referred to as a community, and I think it's a virtually fair description, and in communities people tend to know each other (some on here do in the real world too) and so will make somewhat seemingly obscure references. (If that's what you mean by 'cliquey')
So, imho, it is cliquey but that's to be expected. Cut some slack. Just remember to stay (??) welcoming to people contributing for the first time.

Wasn't Threads the film that led an entire generation to associate Sheffield with the atomic bomb?

It's a bit more complicated than that...
No. It's a sly reference to a well-known liberal newspaper. It's part of the furniture here because one poster started using it as a hook for witty and provocative posts. Other people have taken it up. If that's your definition of a clique you use a different dictionary to me.
You might as well ask the same thing about an awful lot of bits of the forum culture (Tea, Tell a lie..., Three word game, Birthday greetings, Musical consequences, the list is endless) - and I think the answer would be "no" to all of the questions.

Well, the way Noodles tells it you were a bit the worse for wear, I think he even had a momentary pang of guilt, but it didn't stop him taking advantage.
