Every community has some form of a "cliquey" atmosphere or it feels like it because you are coming into a new area. I have trouble integrating myself on forums, just because I am not as active all the time.

I have come and gone here on PC for nearly five years, and sometimes when I come back I feel a bit excluded from the general consensus or overall opinion on the site. It is very easy for your voice to get lost in this big crowd.

I feel very sorry that you feel like you have been alienated where you feel unwelcome, there are good people here, and a lot of us don't even know what to say half the time, so we just offer hugs, at least I do, and its something.
