☆a shrine to the cliques of the 2000s
cliques were a sub category of pixel/personal websites that acted as a hub for people who were a fan of something to show off their fan status.
artists would make badges for their cliques, and most would require the prospective member to fill out an application to join the clique first before adding the badge to their page
i've been collecting cliques throughout the archived web that I thought were cute, interesting, or applied to me personally! i'll try to update frequently, but just know that there were thousands of cliques out there! they absolutely still exist, but there are so many lost to time & I hope to keep their memories alive the best way I can by collecting them here
i've done my best to link to the original source, but the pages vary in brokenness
