I especially ask those of you who have been here more than two years, although all comments are welcome.

On the forum, you interact with people every day but you only see a nickname.

I’ve been on other forums before and you get one day when someone says that a certain member has died. That person knew him personally and that is why is saying it on the forum. And then, you think of some debates you shared with him, but all you can remember of him is a soul hidden under a nickname. You feel a bit sad, but not nearly as sad as if you had meet him in person.

I’ve been thinking that I’ll probably be on this forum for many years, getting increasingly involved, and then I think that all people I’ll interact with are souls hidden under nicknames.

In any kind of forum it is good to not personally know many people for privacy reasons (unless they were your friends before), but especially on this one it is more important. If you have been here for many years, you are probably loaded, and that’s why you have to be careful.

For me, the forum is motivating but has this a bit sad part.
