What? No mention of the hat wearing gang ?
Not sure if they have an official name but I hear they have a rather long thread....

They get a mention from Bones261. It's possibly the gang that will prevail long after all the other ones have gone mad and gone down with their seasteads. I can foresee the hats being handed down to their descendants.
Indeed they did.
So much for my thread scanning/reading ability. durp

Don't forget the Chipmixer Broke Bums Merit Mafia. Only the best worse sig spamming gangsters are invited to join and they are deeply involved in both the laundering of merit and acquiring trust via numerous nefarious ways and all just to be able to bribe themselves onto a spot on one of the highly lucrative campaigns, specifically Chipmixer.
Perhaps Cryptohunter'sschizoid split-personalty alt accounts "friends" could also be considered as a gang?
Ex Member. He's not on my trust list any more. I'm now a lone wolf.

Imagine all of those gangs can be vanquished by removing the subjectivity (gaping holes in the design) they abuse,
What? You can't remove my abused gaping holes, not when I was just beginning to enjoy them.

)This seems speculative, irrelevant and unnecessarily unpleasant. I have no sordid history with this member.
This thread is an important indication of how many members are starting to realize, that the subjective merit and tagging systems are open to manipulation and collusion. These result in groups or gangs marauding destroying peoples accounts with trust abuse and deliberately withholding merit for valuable posts, that do not happen to support their own views.
The foxhole felchers are the most terrifying gang, all the seniors know that. One evening there makes a year with Aleister Crowley in the desert look appealing. You've been warned. Don't upset them.
I don't seem to be in any gangs. I was going to say that if there is a gang bang, please can I join in, but I'm not sure that we have any girls here any more.
Opps, I can't say girls any more. The last girls I referred to as a girl, said I had to refer to females as binaries. I really don't understand this woke stuff.

LoL! And people ask me what do you find so interesting at Bitcointalk. Compare your dumb forum's posts with ours and you find the difference.

Just recently, I saw several posts saying: "I hope I'm not offending anyone", and it's been on my mind for a while now.
I only recently realized why this is so common in English. In Dutch, "offended" and "insulted" are the same word ("beledigd"). But lately, it seems like people treat the word "offending" as if it's "insulting".
I'd say insulting isn't needed and makes you look bad, but being offended is a choice of the receiver, and honestly I'm offended by people who want to limit their own freedom of speech out of fear that someone might get his feelings hurt on the internet! Oh noes!
It's okay to offended people! Offensive jokes are often funny. Don't let SJW decide what you're allowed to say or even think!
Trying to be nice doesn't hurt you, but don't let someone's made up feelings stop you from speaking your mind.

2. Cult of Lauda - probably the biggest gang of the forum
You forgot to mention theymos as part of this gang. I don't really want to search for it, but there was a post with a confession at some point. 
In that case I'm going to have to start my own.
Good call. Isn't that what Bitcoin is all about? Be your own gang. Something like that.
Yeah it doesn't work like that. You have now officially enlisted in the gang of no-gangers and other denialists. I believe cryptohunter is the leader of that one.
WHAT?
In that case I'm going to have to start my own.
You're all welcome to join. As soon as you do you'll get a PM from me telling you now I gotta turn my back.
You'll be cast adrift to fend for yourself. Consider it a form of money laundering of the soul.
You'll never catch me in a gang. No, sir.

As a long term proponent of turning the other cheek, although you missed me out of the thick skin gang, it doesn't bother me.

The most powerful gang of all is the one pitted against each in their interminable trust battles. I've never been able to discover what they actually don't trust each other about as zero business seems to take place between them all.
If one side capitulates I expect them all to go in a Jonestown-esque mass suicide when their purpose in life evaporates.

This list is in error. All above are riders of the clown car. Vod isn't a clown tho, he is a sad children's party magician that gets mad when you say he can't really pull quarters from his ears. As for Direwolf, he was granted his clown nose last summer.
Shouldn't this be in Reputation?
Well, it appears my gang affiliations are still secret, and it's a good thing. If I were exposed you would all become liabilities, and I really don't want to have to kill again. It's not the killing so much as I'm running out places to hide the bodies.
Before you report me to the moderators for death threats, you should ask yourself: "Can I take a joke?"
Well, can you? Punk?

Hello OP. You may want to investigate the hat club. They have a high membership and mostly hang out the Wall Observer thread. I consider myself a member even though I changed my avatar today. The mostly like talking about the current price of Bitcoin, however, they have been branching out.
P.S. I guess that I fall into the wannabe catagory of the Lauda cult.

Sounds like we have something like :

I didn't know there are different factions now. I thought there was only one known gang until today. It should be interesting to see how the turf war develops in the future. You may also want to add the Known Alts of any-one - A User Generated List Mk III gang. It looks like you have a beef with their leader so there's probably a bounty on your head right now 
Agreed.
