Forum Fancy

If you are reading this, it’s a fair chance (based on the referral counter on the bottom of my site) that you came from a forum that I am a member on. More often than not, that forum is going to be the one that is my favorite, as well as the one where I am most (in)famous, MSURacers.com It’s a great place for us students and former students to hang out, discuss things, and build a sense of community. I happen to enjoy my spot on there, even though it’s usually the whipping boy. This however, is not the only forum I participate in. My most powerful position is on the PCGurus team forum. There, I am listed as an admin, but have barely even used my powers, because there just isn’t much to do. The full flex of my power so far has been to make a sticky, create a hidden forum for just the team members (which turned out to be a little more daunting of a task than I thought it would be), and to edit a post. Based on what I’ve seen other mods and admins do, this was nothing, so I give my own efforts a half-hearted “woo hoo”. Between these forums, alot of my time is used, both posting and making sure things are running correctly, but even with that, I still can’t get enough of the forum style atmosphere. So, I have also signed up for two more, ones where I am just a speck of dust in the passing winds of the internet. One, OffTopic Forums is probably the biggest forum on the internet. When I went to sign on, I was just one of over 1300 that were online at the given moment. That’s alot of people. The other, Mindless Bullshit is a conglomeration of forums between some of the biggest bloggers in the US….. or at least this group of friends who blog that decided to team together, pool their resources, and create a community. All these forums are different, from the small to big, the limited audiences to the wide ocean of the whole internet, and they have their own little quirks that make them unique, and that is why I enjoy each one of them.
