No, that's just a group of people that hang out more. A clique is usually an inclusive group of people with shared qualities or interests, most commonly on the internet cliques are formed around fandoms.

If there was a group of people who hung out together because they all liked homestuck, and didn't talk to anyone else based on whether or not they were into homestuck, that would be a clique.

i was going off the definition "In the social sciences, a clique is a group of people who interact with each other more regularly and intensely than others in the same setting"

IkeTheGeneric:
Some words will have many varying definitions, I believe the commonly accepted definition of a clique is what I described.

A "clique" seems like it would be a more exclusive group with a shared interest between all group members. Some of the skype groups in have pretty much no shared interests except a couple people being huge weebs (LOOKIN AT YOU NAL...)
Mr.Noßody:
A clique in terms of these forums is basically a group of people who, if any one person gets mad at/in trouble with somebody else, the entire group comes to back them up. People viewing this outside the clique will normally back the majority. It's a form of multi-man puppeteering.
