I would also much rather talk to people for real, than i would do this.. But this is a easier way, to exspress what's really on your mind.. I think.. Where i'm from, people aren't like me, and alot of my friends dont like the same stuf as i do.. Then i think it's fun to come here, and find out that i'm not the only one who like this kind "stuff".. i think the site is cool, but the forum gets a little boring some times.
I think you're right, astridwantpeace! For example, for me it's impossible to really talk to someone from hipforums because I live in Belgrade, and that's pretty far. So, why then I shouldn't do this? I would rather talk to people, of course... But, if it's not possible, then I just wanna meet them in some other way. I have a lots friends who do like the same things as I, but I wanna meet more interesting people.
