However, IF that is true, then I'm truly at a loss how such thing is possible actually. Following what others wrote here as suggestions, and doing what I do (and described in my post), I find myself currently drowning in roleplay. So perhaps I simply can't see / don't see this struggle, or don't understand how it can be as dire as described.
The answer to this thing you cannot fathom is in the post title. You are part of a clique that you benefit from. The people who have tried the same thing as you have aren't, and therefore haven't. You're the leader of an FC, aren't you? I mean, c'mon... You can't possibly mean what you wrote there literally. You're a smart guy, you can figure it out.
As for how you were able to get into that clique? I bet the community was once a lot more welcoming before people got established and set in their ways. Aya mentioned earlier how a lot of people have retreated to their FC Housing for RP. That's a microcosm of changing attitudes towards inclusivity, I wager.
And it doesn't matter how hard you try to be included if people simply ignore what you write.
