Okay so,

This has been the only fourm I have ever been active on. Only because I am a huge Chems fan.

But I find that some people choose to discuss the most randmon things.

Last year this guy in my grade 10 tech class would spend countless hours on some fourm.

It turns out it was a fourm for canadian Transit.

Witch makes me wonder, How much can people love buses? It boggles my mind.

yes i liek this fourm becos of it's randmonness

What's a fourm ?

haha! :lol:

Jenny there is a niche for everyone! It is kind of odd one would spend countless hours on a Canadian transport forum because that's not our thing - but if you've ever publically commuted or spent a sizable chunk of time on public transport - if you think about it public transport is a giant public network that has very little social interaction amongst the people that use it. I worked with a guy that took the bus every day for roughly 3 hours per day for years and years and years - and in all the time I knew him (15 years) he never once talked about anyone he knew or met on the bus. Though he did have interesting stories about random hobos that got on board from time to time (perfect fodder for an internet forum I suppose). Imagine spending that much time, day in and day out, and hardly ever interacting with your fellow commuters on a social, personable level. Even though you see the same people each and every day, you know what paper they read, you know what size coffee they drink, you know what habits they have just by seeing them every day, etc. But you never talk to them. I guess a message forum for public transport is that social outlet that allows people who aren't social to actually be social. Sort of like this place - I love the Chems but I don't go blabbing about it around the office, I keep to myself, work and go home. It's a strange thing, forums. But good too.

This is the only forum I'm active on, but I lurk on others mainly a political debate sub forum on another band's fansite (talk about heavily moderated. :P )

This forums rubbish, would never wanna meet any of the people ;-)

no man, they're all creepy.

Hanging around places like this will never get you a model girlfriend.

If Mippio would agree....

Yeah, nuttin' but loadies on here anyway. :P

going back to the transit forum. The only thing I could see people talking about on the canadian public transit forum is how crappy the public transport systems are in this country, well at least in the west. I still want to have a push for a high speed train line cross country. Make it easier for us chems fans to make it to shows in toronto or montreal or vancouver when stuck in the middle of the country....could take plane but prefer train.

I dunno i just find it weird that somone could talk about busses for so long.

I'm active on the candian pacific railway (CPR) forum board. I have an interest for trains. But public transit is a bit wierd.

I work in a railway station and visit a couple of public transport forums myself. As Whirly was saying there's a niche for everyone, its said in Britain there's enthusiasts for pretty much anything! Having said that, I've seen people taking numbers of railway wagons which IS a bit wierd...

Re other forums I read, mainly a couple of forums for the league that my football team play in.

i use dsi alot

Aww! I've got a soft spot for people who love trains!

I also created/run the MTG forum.
