Talk amongst yourselves :))

I get a real sense of community and comradery here. People are quite friendly, and even though we can't always be friendly and at our best 100% of the time, more often than not, we're all a pretty friendly bunch. I think we just enjoy and value each others company. I love the the screen names and avatars which gives personality and identity to everyone. It's very cool when you connect with someone that has similar interests/likes. The forum offers so many different things, music, trivia, serious discussions, therapy, humor. It's funny because I call people here friends, and I feel like I've gotten to know some of you almost as well as some of the people I hang out with in real life and i look forward to seeing who is online, what has been posted, and to post some things myself. This is a good free form of entertainment that provides me hours of enjoyment.  8)

for starters, I can say things like fuсk and not get scorned for it.  I can post some jargon in the PPP cause I want to ... and I can post more than one song a day in the what are you listening to threads.

Hey how come that eff word wasn't censored, I tried to post said word once and the system declined it, can't recall what was posted instead but I recall it had the opposite effect.   ;D ;D


censor?  what censors? ;D

sorry just testing

Hmm, that is strange...

f.u.c.k

In answer to your question Ultraviolet, I guess it's cos it's sole purpose is a message board...no - inthe00s.com is probably only the second message board I've really become part of. I certainly feels like much more of an online community than other boards I post/have posted in, because a regular clientete come here. It's almost like a bar where people pop in and out to discuss topics from pop culture to politics, or just for some idle chat. The Arcade was also a good idea, allowing healthly competition between members. I don't intend to be going anywhere soon, and I spend a good deal of time online at inthe00s.com  :).

I haven't worked out how he was able to do that.

Most forums have no sense of community.  That is, nobody cares about the other member, so flaming, spamming, etc. is everywhere.  Here, the members tend to like or at least tolerate each other, so that stuff rarely happens.

I like to come here because there are oodles of people (like myself) who enjoy reminiscing about the days of the past, fun stuff from our childhood, great music/movies, and just everyday talk.  And....for the most part, everybody here is pleasant and fun to chat with.

A magician never reveals his secrets ;D

I suppose it's 'cause even at it's most dead (coughs*like now*coughs), this place is more alive than about 70% of other forums out there.

And most people here are nice enough people

I'd say it's more like 71% ;D

I like that it's a nice place to hang out and chat with people.  A lot of people here are really nice.

I've found a couple of forums along the way where people are real.  This is one of them.  The others have been places where the subject matter is pretty focused, so people have something specific in common.  Here...I don't know, a pretty random community of people who are being who they are, and that's fun.

- Not overly specific in content.
- No overly strict moderation.
- A sense of community.
- Being able to say fuсk.  ::)

And me:

So you are the one who found this ancient thread and bumped it up.

That's ok. It's a good topic and I don't know how I missed it the first time around.

For me, this forum offers just about EVERYTHING-there is something for everyone. Talk about pop culture (movies, t.v. music etc.). Talk about religion or politics. Talk about food, fashion, sports, books, or any other topic you want to. And when you get bored, you can always play games. I have been to a couple of other forums and the topics were so limited. There is just so much you can talk about 1 single topic.

Then there is the community-which is the best. This place has people from all over the world-different cultures, different views, etc. To me, it is also a learning place-where I can learn about other cultures. And most of the people here I would love to sit down with a cup of tea/coffee and just shoot the breeze with. I feel that in a way, I invite all into my house (but I'm glad that is only figuratively. If it was literally, I would be embarrassed by the mess in this room right now.  :D ;D ;D ;D )

In fact a Guest was viewing it and I jumped in.

I can sum this question up in two words:  Regular posting

Alot of other 80s, 70s, etc related boards I go to has lots of members, but on those boards, posts come maybe every 2nd or 3rd day (if you're lucky).  With inthe00s, there's always someone posting

Lots of nice people.

Lots of nice people.


You said it, Howard!  :)
