fwiw ingroup is a fractally perfect name in ways I wont get into but I think it also described originally a discrete subculture at a discrete time that subculture has faded and the name is skeuomorphic

that subculture in turn grew out of an older group whose name i am not even at liberty to mention it still exists and we know who was a member at the time

I mention this because gatekeeping and exclusion are morally complicated and while you should do whatever you like you should probably think very carefully about what outcome you are trying to attain first what the failure modes are
