Lisa's Links
Here are a cuple of links which may be relevant to my paper.
I have been a pat of several online communities.
The first one I joined was TinyCWRUTelnet RIGHT NOW to
TinyCWRU. They supposedly have a website here, but last I looked, the link doesn't work. TinyCWRU is a MUSH- a Multi User Shared Hallucination. I have also ben to MUX's- Multi User eXperiences. MU*'s are like IRC, but like 10 times better. They are all-text virtual realities, bu Lag can get really bad on them. I have no idea why the web and chat rooms, etc have surpassed them. They're cool. I may sound hypocritical by saying I don't visit them much now, but then again, I don'y go online much. A nice one to visit now would be Sluggy Mux, which can be found onThis Page. Before you go, a visit to Sluggy Freelance might be nice.
Another online community I have participated in grew up around the cool band, They Mighy Be Giants. They have a nice website with a chat room to hang out at. Another place to go is the unofficial website, where they have a nifty bulletin board. There are many other places, but these are the two that I have actually been to.
The most recent community I joined as Ancient Sites. Ancient Sites was a Role Playing community, where we got to act like anciet Romans or Greeks or Egyptian or Celts or Machu Picchuans. Nope, no link- they came down. I was very involved, and didn't like the site dissapearing, but that's what happens sometimes. Supposedly AncientVines was to replace Ancient Sites, but AncientVines came down as well. My "family" over at Ancient Sites made a Yahoo Club, but it seems to have died off. Some of us still hang out at other places, like All The World's A Stage, bu I have been too busy with other things to really keep up. I almost regret losing that community, but that shows the transitory nature of the web.
