Do you care about online life? Is the internet meaningful?

[exploited]

This is sparked by a "discussion" a few of us have been having elsewhere tonight.

I am just curious about how people perceive this community, and what it means to them.

Do you care about this forum? Do you care about the people on it? Would you be at all upset if one of the posters here left, or if PCF disintegrated again, but never got brought back?

I personally do care about this forum, and I think I have developed meaningful relationships with a few posters on here. I've learned alot, and I'd be pretty upset if PCF didn't exist.

It seems that some people don't care about the forums in any real sense, it is just a way to waste time. Nothing wrong with that, I just found it curious - why bother spending so much time on something you don't care about?

Feel free to expand in any way you want.

I would say the poll question options don't quite get to the point of it. I care about the forum, and I care about the posters, but I don't care about the people behind those accounts. For all I know, none of you are who or what you say you are, so I just view the posters here as existing only within the confines of this website. That said, I like when the forum is active and entertaining and if we're lucky, a little bit educational.

what have you done...


anyways i care about the forum in the sense that i get utility out of it, but only due to the quality of the posters here and those i enjoy talking to. in a sense it's a type of caring.

I view the forum more like an asset. I care about it like I care about my xbox or my civil procedure casebook.

Well I, for one, do care about the people behind the keyboards. I don't know if I would be devastated if the board itself went away, but I would be very sad if one of you died or got hurt. I do wish the best for all of you in your personal lives...even if some of you are full of shit half the time.

I have added another option: "As a figment of the internets imagination"

Basically, that poll option means that you care about the people insofar as you assume their existence, truthfulness, etc., but you don't have any real emotional connection to them.
