[Gilitine_Memitim]

[raljamcar]

My certificate was conditioned upon an anger management course.

Wait . . . we're allowed to post?

Seriously, I keep thinking I should be more involved . . . at least so I can get past the silly limit that keeps me from having an avatar.

But it somehow seems too . . . social.  People kidding, chatting each other up, interacting as if friends . . . it took me a long time to wean my real life friends from all that social stuff; don't know if I want to start it here.  It seems a big bother, what with having to care, and actually read, what others are saying. 

No, I guess I'll hover in the less-than 0.01 posts per day for a tad longer.

"interacting as if friends"... There's no "as if"; while the knee-jerk reaction is to assume that online interactions aren't "real", I can confirm it to be false. Consider:

1) I've made a number of real-life friends through online forums, chatrooms and the like. People whose lives matter to me and to whom my life matters.
2) Many friends I made in "real life" live far away from me now, and those friendships are largely maintained very strongly through continued online interaction; to me, it's a completely logical extension of continuing friendships over great distances via telephone and letters.
3) I have been married for eight years to a woman who was among the first people I met when I ventured online.

Sounds pretty real to me. But hey, I'm just one guy, and I could be wrong.

Lately, I get more human interaction here than I do in real life.

It's called 'The Bar" for a reason.  It's like a little clubhouse where you can hang out, be silly, and have an interesting conversation with other human beings.  And unlike a real bar/clubhouse, you don't have to make a special trip.  You can just pop in and out at will..  for 5 minutes or 2 hours, multiple times a day.

And I have to agree with the Sheckster.  I've become personally interested in the well-being of many of my fellow forumites.

Shecky wrong?  no sorry this is a un comprehensible (okay how the  can i spell comprehensible?)  the world would end if that ever happened

On average, I get more human interaction here than I do in real life.

there is no on average about it

as i said... One of us. one of us. One of us.

Would it be possible/easy to add the "Posts per day" stat to the member listing so that we can sort/rank by them?  Im pretty sure Cenwolfgirl is blowing most of us out of the water (95.6/day at the time of this post), but Id be curious to see what the overall stats look like without having to investigate individual profiles

Not easy, and I doubt we need to ask the server to do that sort of calculation in the first place. (I get that it's fun, but I'd rather it be focused on, y'know, taking in and showing folks their posts!)

Holy shamoley, you guys.  This is not a competition.  You don't need to post every 3.6 seconds to be heard on this forum.  If you want to have a conversation with one or two other people, please take it to PM or email.

This is why I miss the chat room.
