I thought I got rid of my profile way back when there was discussion that there would be a membership fee, but apparently I am still a member and it is still free.

Does anyone go there anymore?

 

[Josiah14]

It's still free.

I go there sometimes, not often. I can only handle managing my time between so many community based sites.

I just created a page there several days ago, in part because I was told by some people at church I should. I've never been much on the social networking site fad so we'll see how long I maintain an active account.

 

[Kristos]

I haven't been there in ages.

It's got a poor format, doesn't allow you to edit posts, its many 'groups' have only 2 or three members that are mostly inactive...
It was a nice idea, but there are just too many of these things out there.

There's a great story in Russian by Yulia Voznesenskaya called "Cassandra, or Adventures With Macaroni". It's an Orthodox near future post-catastrophe story during the time of the anti-Christ, and most people are glued to computers and Virtual Reality is now called "Reality" for short. The online RP community presented gradually becomes more and more abandoned as people create their own places and come to dislike others'... it's a side note in the story, but I think about it when I see some online communities, and it wouldn't surprise me if they all eventually became like that.

I have an account but I'm never on there.

When it first came online, I was enthusiastic but as a previous poster has mentioned, their format isn't very good. I haven't been there in ages.

I still go on daily and have met alot of friends on there. But mainly once I get to know someone we just add eachother on facebook and use that. Except for the golden age of their chatroom. That was the most fun ive ever had on the internet period. Too bad no one gets on it anymore

As for the fee, yea we fought that until they dropped the idea.

 

[Greg the byzantine]

I haven't been on in a really long time In general I only check my facebook, unfortunately I "friended" my sister who feels it's her duty to monitor everything I do on facebook

 

[EricTheRed]

Delete her! lol

 

[xenia]

If any of you would like to be my Facebook friend, I am Diane Moos.

Just tell me your name in TAW so I know who you are.

I joined just after it was created and really liked it (I was there before I was here!) I still go occasionally but I get sp many emails on there I find it overwhelming! There are some really amazing posts though, I really hope it finds it's niche again.

hehe, my sister unfriended me on facebook for commenting on her photo! Not cool!!

Is there an English translation of that story?

 

[rusmeister]

Not as far as I know.
