I will give you the science explanation on this one. However I don't identify with a single social network and instead identify with many. That creates (for me) a very large set of interests that are wide ranging. Given your definition, as broad sweeping as it is, eliminates any possibility for a clique to not exist outside of being the unibomber.
 
The alternate logic here is that being tied to a very large number of social networks eliminates the exlusive nature we often identify with cliques, small social circles etc. So by virtue of that logic I would hardly identify myself with one small group.
 
My point about previous years on the forum was that the forum was essentially a bunch of lurkers or posters who were ignored and then a clique of posters who chose to only respond to one another. This creates comfort and creates the tendencies you refer to but at a much higher %. Currently the board has more regular posters and a more diverse range of insights and interests. This has in my opinion made the board much more interesting and helped make it more diverse. I can see where that would scare off those who don't care for change in that respect. I think its a little unfair to point fingers in relationship to diversity of interest. It seems a bit over the top to me and I think it is more personal decision than it is a problem on the board.
 
And I will repeat what I said yesterday in that I think its petty to complain about such small things given the status of SU athletics. Life is far too short to let small changes deter you from the things you enjoy.
