/vrg/ is fundamentally a competitive social environment because everyone is here by choice and there are way too many members for it to be considered a single united group. Everyone has a finite amount of attention that cannot be endlessly divided between everyone they are around them, so they're inevitably going to focus it on those they perceive to be offering the most. In other words, the problem will never go away for so long as /vrg/ has hundreds of members because even if the least popular members became more appealing, they'd just displace others who would become excluded in their place. Ideally there would be enough people who are fine having no close friends to occupy the bottom of the hierarchy while anyone else who doesn't make it just moves on.
