Not so much that 'it' acts with malice to exclude new blood. Far from it. "Clique" is a bit perjorative...there's probably a better word, but let's stick with 'it'. Just that 'it' sets a kind of accepted culture that welcomes new blood on those terms, preserves memes, passes them on, defines "good" in combination with ed policy etc. </p> <p>Some of the comments above sort of show this process at work.(Svendo, Edward Hack - my apologies if you think I'm misrepresenting you)</p> <p>As said above, I'm not against 'it', I don't want to overthrow 'it', it's probably the only natural outcome of online forums, but I did want to poke fun at the status quo.</p> <p>2) It was indeed a schoolboy error to put it on the subs board. It was a spur of the moment thing...there was already a sub about <a href="http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7294">NewsBiscuit being sued for overuse of the sistine chapel ceiling</a> posted yesterday morning, and I took it to the nth degree. I obviously was not anticipating an FP, but I was curious to see how many starts it got. My head spun at how quickly it disappeared, but I accept the editor's reasons for doing so. </p> <p>3) The targets I gave are distinct but connected. The editorial policy (happily still religion obsessed NiB today - cheers!) was the trigger, the me-too recurrent memes on the board, then the reinforced accepted culture are separate phenomena, but they all set up feedback loops that I decided to poke fun at. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7310&page=2#post-20016 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:38:07 +0000 Mr.3374 20016@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Read a bit of OP.<br /> No more.

Isn't that the Kiwi version of "Mame"?</p> <p>And did you know that Clinton Richard Dawkins (for that is the good Professors full name) is an anagram of "Nan Darwin's rich kid, clot". </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7310&page=2#post-19999 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 20:15:52 +0000 PluckyMunky 19999@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>No offence, like, Mr Snake, but you seem to have a very considerable knowledge of flashing. Things like this can be a worry, at times. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7310&page=2#post-19997 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 20:09:33 +0000 ramblesnake 19997@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Mr Nky (with a name like that you sound Myanmarian. How is the junta getting on?) he was a full time cop and flasher, except when his dirty raincoat was in the wash, which was never.<br /> I'm no expert but I don't think even full time flashers dangle it about all the time. I expect they have to wait for the right victim, who I wouldn't image tend to hang around for any length of time.<br /> It must have been difficult for him and probably the reason he always looked so haggard. Being a policeman, every time he flashed he'd have to arrest himself and clap himself in irons. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7310&page=2#post-19973 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 19:00:36 +0000 The All New Jeni B 19973@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Why thank you Peter.<br /> I'm glad that at least one person found it funny.</p> <p>And as for that clique, if you find out, could you let me know? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=7310&page=2#post-19970 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 18:58:58 +0000 Peter 19970@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p><blockquote> And what the fuck is a meme anyway? </p> <p>It's a self-obsessed yo-yo Maz. </blockquote></p> <p>That is the sort of thing that makes me laugh loudly in public places.
