a close knit online community. I miss forum posting and the feeling of your online family. Anyone know a specific direction I should be pointed in on here?
As you can see from the previous Posters, Bunnielight, you have obviously come to the right place to find a Kind an understanding online community. I would post in whatever Forum, here that fits your interests and passions, or come to the General section for anything else, and you will quickly find that you will take to some more than to others.
You've been here since 2009 and you haven't figured it out yet? Did you disappear for a long time or something? This did not sound mean in my head, but in type is certainly sounds so. Pretend it is an honest and innocent question.
Yes, I registered in '09 but as you can see in my post number, I've only posted 89 times. And with as massive as this forum is, that's not enough to get heavily involved in any community.
Well, I would start by looking in "new posts." Read and respond to threads and after a bit you will get used to the people who post in each section, the "culture" of each group, and then go from there. You'll find your place .
New Posts is the way to go. Stoners Lounge is pretty cool, but it can get a little repetitive, random thoughts is cool but there's lots of sarcasm, so sometimes new posters get feelings hurt. Love and Sex is surprisingly vanilla. Everybody hates each other in the politics forums. Most of the others are too slow, so you may want to go to chat.
hey bunny, it is really fun around here, lots of open and honest discussion. I already have a great number of friends here that I click with. I plan on posting here till the end of time, I need to get my average number of post per day up though, I know I have slowed down the last couple of days. You see, I am trying to limit the amount of time I am on a computer per day, in order to get other more important things done, you know, like laundry, cleaning, shopping, exploring, going to punk rock shows, things of this nature. So I find if I do spend to much time online chatting, posting, playing games and reading it takes up a lot of my time. I am very curious by nature and like to read about a variety of things. Oh how I love the conspiracy stuff, they call it conspiracy, I call it truth people really hate when I say that. What was that movie, "A Few Good Men" YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH..yeah, that is what I think.. With that being said, it is nice to meet you and welcome to the hip forums, a family of friends, that is what this place is This will be my only post today but I may be back tommorrow to talk about some other stuff going on in my little mind..ya know, we only use 3% of our brain in our lifetime..isnt that odd, why wouldn't we use 100%? do you think dogs use 3% to?
pretty good analysis. the stoners lounge is probably repetitive because none of us have great memories, for obvious reasons.
P.S. Lorna---that old adage about people only using 3% of their brains in completely false and unfounded. In fact, parts of the brain, much like any other organ, will atrophy if not utilized. It also makes no sense from a evolutionary standpoint. Things don't evolve if they weren't useful at some point. Why would be keep having all of this extra brain power if it served no function. This myth was spread by people who wanted to make money in the new age movement.
I think the 3% thing is God intended for us to live forever when he created us and since we only live till about 75, 100 at the max..well, you only use 3 %..now cops on the other hand use 1%
I find all of Hip Forums... just the right size! It's big enough to keep meeting new people, but small enough that you keep seeing the same "faces"! I like to use the New Posts link. A lot. xD
the only close knit groups i know of, and then not all or even most of them, are those which have some interest in common. for the most part, i feel they are so only because they have, so i'm reluctant to point anyone in their direction who might not already feel their interests in their own heart but try to pretend to in order to fit in. the latter is how society gets by, but it isn't how close knit relationships are formed. i would also be warned, that in close knit groups, as in families of all kinds, many members are frequently whining at and about each other. are you sure you really want that? and if you do, i'm not sure why you're looking for that on line, though of course you're perfectly welcome to. otherkin, furries, and a few others come to mind. no group of any kind is more then what each member brings to it.
