I haven't noticed any cliques here, what I have seen is many people supporting others! There are very few threads that go without a reply and sometimes it doesn't require any comments or an answer. It's also possible that the person who has the answer hasn't come along to provide it and if given time maybe someone will. If it were me and no one answered, I'd rephrase the question and ask again. If you don't like the forum then find another, simple solution without appearing paranoid. There may be cliques in some circles but that's just the way some people are. I avoid cliques because you can't control anybody except yourself. Live and let live!
