For me it's several things. For starters it's a sense of community. It's nice to talk with people with shared intrest. I have nothing like that in my real life. My family doesn't care about this kind of stuff and even when I had friends they were not really that intrested in it like I am. Ernie was more into sports and William was a Christian who owned his own business.
The second thing is a chance to ask questions or talk about stuff that people don't either think about or are to scared because they might be afraid of how it makes them look. I never understood this. We are sci-fi fans. we are supose to be the people that think outside of the lines.People sometimes think I am weird or a troll or who knows what but what I don't understand is why more people don't make those kind of posts or ask those questions. Granted most people actually have lives were I am basically trapped in a house all day long,good portion of the time all by myself so sometimes I proably do spend to much time just thinking for the sake of thinking.
A chance to be creative or just have fun. If were not having fun then were doing things the wrong way. This is message board about cool stuff and sometimes politics or society. We aren't saving the world or anything. We don't have to take everything so seriously, even the stuff that really is serious because we aren't going to change the world with a post.
