no to incite drama, or anything, but i don't think nova should be allowed in the club. and i thought twid said that everyone had to agree?

also, another question; what's everyone favourite chao? that's something i haven't thought about in a really long time, but i think any hero/fly chao is cute. and hero/none/whatever are nice too.

another person said no, just not here in this topic

by that same logic, technically you're only allowed to post if everybody invites you in. I don't understand why you're making a big deal out of this though?

No need to be an ass. I was engaging in conversation, Twiddle didn't even notice I wasn't actually in the group in the first place, it wasn't like I was ruining your play time or whatever.

Also gonna be the barer of bad news. I'm voting no on Nova, just for this club. That makes four out of ten, I think, and that means it is impossible to get a two-thirds majority. I think. I'm not a fraction person.

I don't know the goal of this club, but I'm apparently invested.

Crash32 wrote:So is the whole idea of this club to just... exclude people that aren't in your friend circle? I don't get it
the original purpose of this "club" was to a place for "the friend circle" to chat and share things we like outside of other sites and skype, since, y'know, we all met on ci in the first place, and not all of us talk to one another regularly so it's a chance for everyone to kind of regroup.
the voting process exists exactly so it doesn't come off as rude when people are turned down. and I believe that there is likely good reason for people agreeing to exclude someone - a tendency to be rude will make people dislike you, you know. and I do not want any negativity in here. I want to have fun!

I admit that a "friends-only" club comes off as very childish. but hurting people's feelings was definitely not my intention, and I'm sorry for ticking a few people off this way. however, I don't plan on changing it solely because of that - I still think that the idea of this club wasn't a completely bad idea.


anyway! I'm thinking of trying to find a way to buy copies of the japanese sa2 guides, to see if there's any chao stuff in it. since I can't find scans of it anywhere! D: plus it would be pretty cool to own in any case. my main issue is, shipping from japan tends to be a huge pain on certain sites... u~u

I'd call it don't post in here unless you're applying for membership or are a member of the group. Regardless if you don't like the concept of the group, you're still disrupting and being off topic. If they vote no for your entry, then just move on or start your own group.

Consider this a blanket warning for future posts.

it's sad to see moderators encouraging and protecting such exclusionary and aggressive behavior.
i know that the original purpose of this club is not to make others feel left out or unwanted but the way it has been handled by members and group administration is far less than savory!! not only is the premise of the groups "cool kids kicking out the scrubs" which raises a red flag in the first place but the way denials have been issued is also inherently abrasive!! even if in the beginning the whole "cool kids only" concept was just a joke to unite a specific group of friends under, the way it's been drawn out and enforced has very clearly resulted in a not-so-ironic version of elitism. i am by no means defending wyatt (nova) for his continuous insistence brought these reactions upon himself but i'm sure that if membership denials went further than a bland no and threats of violence the feeling of rejection would not be as scalding on those who are kicked out. specially those who did consider themselves friends of the users in this group after sharing a space like this for so many years.

Not to bring more ire upon myself, and not just because I got rejected from the group, but I will say that the point of the club genuinely makes no sense. A place for you guys to discuss stuff in your own private area? I mean, there are sites like Tumblr or Reddit, or even chat programs like Skype, Mumble, Curse Voice, or Steam that you can use to just chat with other people specifically, there's really no need for it on a site like this. Not to mention it seems like there's no direction for the discussions, which just means you're all concentrating discussion into one chat specifically. I mean, at least Triert makes topics of what he wants to discuss, so the forum is alive for that much longer.

i am by no means in any form of agreement with wyatt's point, user groups should be free to chose their purpose, even if it's just discussion among friends. my beef with this particular thread is that the way it's handled is akin to middleschool bullying, not to mention ridiculously opaque. "someone else said no just not on this site" invalidates the premise of a transparent voting process and in its execution also denies the nature of this group by moving discussion of its nature off-site when its purpose is on-site sharing.

it's baffling how you guys seem to fail to see, or rather selectively ignore, the exclusionary and inherently offensive nature of this group, not sparked from its purpose but rather through its theme and execution. the notion of a loudly self-advertised "exclusive group" for "cool kids only" is extremely vapid. not childish in the notion of being firends-only but rather on its self-promoted arrogance and abusive unapologetic rejection methods.

Personally I think people who aren't a part of the club should stop posting here. (The irony isn't lost on me)

The club gets more negative attention contributing to it rather than let the members have some breathing room to attempt discussion. I don't find what they're doing that hot, but we have to let people make their own mistakes if what they're doing does end up being a mistake after all.

Honestly, I think it'd be better if you just closed the club and instead have a topic where people post their IDs via a site of your choice, like Skype or something. There'd be no exclusivity, anybody that's interested wouldn't feel rejected just because people said no, and you're going to get much more mileage out of a skype group or voice call than you ever would out of a topic on this site, not to mention you could easily pull other people in from outside CI's walls, like IRL friends or tumblr friends or whatever, which you can't do here, at least as easily.

Also, saying things like "youre not allowed loser goodbye" is going to do nothing but make me want to post here more. Let bygones be bygones in that area.
