    Its just a message board... or is it?

    You hear it all the time. Its just a message board!

    I take offense to that. I have seen a few message boards. You post a message, you come back in a few days to see if there was a response... there may be one or two...

    This is more a hub of social activity. You post a message, and before you can log out you probably have 3 or 4 responses and fight going on about them!

    We have a great mix of people at this site. All ages, nationalities, political and religious affiliations.

    Some posters make you laugh... some piss you off.. some make you think. Some make you think you are nuts. :D

    I agree that this place is no substitute for real life, but I want to know how many people agree that its more than just a message board.

    Give my your thoughts.

    And, if you are brave... what I am really curious about is how many of you post as yourself... are pretty much who you are in real life... and how many of you play a role here. Say and do things you would not otherwise do... Do you think of your Army mates as real people, or do you see everyone here as Arielle and Sarge's Little Helper?

    I post as I am. Granted, the words on the screen are just that, but there IS a real person typing them somewhere. I also see your point, which is one, if not THE reason, I think an ARMY "get-together is a good idea.

    This is definitly MORE than just a message board! And I for one, Love it!!

      Thanks Carmine.

      I post as myself... and so does my alias. We just don't get real creative.

      Good luck on your Army get together!

            I have alot of friends here as well as alot of enemies. At the end of the day, it's just a message board to me.

              It's just a message board, and it's supposed to be FUN.

              If you all met me in real life, I'd have to tell you who I am.....once you knew me I'd be the smartass you know me as here.

                          I'm me. Obviously :D

                          I post as I would talk pretty much.

                          And I'd say this is probably a message board to some, but much more to others. The people who think it's much more appreciate this place as it should be. I'd say it's a hangout, like a club or something. Most importantly, it's a community. We all talk with each other, about each other, to each other. Rather than everyone being users, everybody is a person. There's a very personal touch to this place. I come on here whenever I go on the internet. I keep on the page, refresh it once in a while. It keeps me entertained :D

                            It wouldn't be rock n roll with out a bit of conflict.

                              Well, for me this just a message board... But God damn, it's THE BEST ONE I've ever been to! Let's just say I had absolutely NO web life before this.

                              I pretty much post like I'd talk and think - with a few exaggerations here and there. Got nothing to hide, am proud of who I am, and if you don't like me fuck off.

                              And voted 4.

                              That's pretty much it. Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen... Goodnight!

                              Cheers! :bottle:
