Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI tend to think of this forum as more of a suburb, with everyone in here going about their ritualistic monotanous lifestyle, trying merely to pass some time and maybe be heard. While getting in as little work as possible at work/school and still pay the bills. With the odd retired man sitting on his front porch with a pair of binoculars, and a laptop trying to get his jollys in whereever and however he can. Internet suburbia yo.
Internet Forum Ghettos
Some impressions I've been getting about internet forums, since finally getting involved last Christmas, are... (1) That they are essentially
ghettos in the sense that they're primarily populated by people of all ages in lonely cardboard cabins, hurt, hungry and afraid. (2) That they
represent a state of fragmentation ...[text shortened]... onorable initiatives of any desiring to vitalize, strengthen and set them free.
