Why forums are popular

**sleeplessdragn** · 10-14-2004, 01:56 AM

im quite interested in reading the many threads in the FFR forums, but i rarely post any myself. i think i enjoy observing the many different character traits unique to each individual, much like i enjoy watching people when i am forced to go to a mall. i surprised myself tonight when i noticed how much time i spend simply reading, and i asked myself why that was. ive yet to formulate an answer for myself, but the question rises: why are forums so popular in the first place? AIM and other such forms of communication are convient methods of striking up conversation, but usually (at least for me) i know the person that i am talking to, whether they be friends at school or family members. Forums tend to be gatherings of random people from across the globe, usually. could it be that online characters form through the forums, or is it simply the human spirit to unite?
