I'm not really sure of the game.
From what I see, I think this is just a big group of friends who enjoy sharing their thoughts and perhaps relate to eachother. Over time this group picks up members, loses them, and stories are made. Those stories are then carried through time in our memmories and form a little forum culture that allows us reguarls have more shared memmories and thus relate more, and feel closers to each other.
Some people come here and find that they are too aggressive, and the people are mena back and they leave. Some people are too nice. Some stay though.
Just... everyday, come to the forum, and take a look. Post a topic or response, and see if it grows on you. Ignore the mean people. It's true that this forum is a close knit social community, but I think if one were to observe it closely enough, we would find a few factions within the group~
