Hmm. I can think of better reasons. No Esmer. No Plissken. No,,,,,,Lurch. No Revan. No Zeph. And, most importantly, no dANdeLION!

Yes I agree all of those things are truly wonderful but the thing I like most about Glurpworld is the colors. :-)

What I like about Glurpworld is that here I can be me! Which is maybe the most inane answer ever.  |

It's not big, its not flashy, it really doesn't have a theme (i.e. based on an author's fiction etc.) its just here for us to shoot the breeze and have fun. |

In a lot of ways, I wish I could just be the smartass who liked to razz Darth Revan all day long, but it's just not possible there anymore. Now I find myself having to defend every comment I've made, and after 16,400 posts, and who the hell knows what kind of day I was having when I made said post....it gets tiring. Maybe that's why I posted 2/3 of my total in the first year or so there, and kept relatively quiet since. |

Just wanna put these thoughts down before I lose them. I think there must be as many reasons for conflicts in an internet forum as there are members. Maybe it's a basic problem with any gathering: whatever common ground it was in the beginning that brought people together eventually shifts and cracks, as their differences begin to undermine their commonality. Either because of new members or the existing members just get fed up with each other. I hate to say it, but there's that old cliche: familiarity breeds contempt. Or at least, too much familiarity. Isn't this why so many people can't stand their relatives? Anyway, it's not hard to see how differences among forum members can grow into antagonism, maybe even open hostility. Then lines are drawn, sides are taken, and flame wars are fought - over even the smallest thing. We shouldn't have to defend every little thing we say, but what can you do when every little word could be taken the wrong way - especially as they're just words on a computer screen. Sorry for all that hot air - but hey, it's winter, so enjoy the warmth .  And this is my 100th post. Scary but true. |

It really wasn't even funny then, IMO. I mean, Sweeney Todd isn't the kind of guy you really want to piss off, you know?

I like Glurpworld because as you said you can shoot the breeze and have fun or as I have been doing lately after a hard day at work just chilling in the word games section cause at that stage of the day my brain aint able for much more ;D |
