Why TOUAMB is awesome instead of Teh Suck

I keep coming here because the board has a memory of sorts.  You can go back and find the funny/tragic/useful stuff we were talking about a year ago - can't do that on FB.  I had a brief conversation there where someone dropped some wisdom about firmware for your Linksys router.  When I tried to find the info later it was impossible to find.

Do you ever read old threads here and come across posts that you personally made but you don't remember at all? I've seen entire conversations on here that I have no memories of.

All the time.

Before I started doing so much writing I imagined that writing would stick in the memory more than talking. But it doesn't necessarily. On the bright side, I can read something I wrote and think it's terribly clever without feeling stuck-up for thinking that, because as far as I can tell, someone else did it.

Sometimes I go through and look at old threads, and notice that sometimes I used to be funny.

I disagree.

We could do with a pens-in-neck tracker alongside our Dr Pepper count.

I think we toyed with the idea of Onion Offense Cards at some point. But I guess we'll just have to make do with negative cans.

Should it bother me that I really like this idea?

Me too.

So basically, it boils down to search functions.

Well, sort of - community has something to do with it too.  We build something of a community here.  Facebook sort of leeches off community that already exists.

Right. This is what makes me so sad about Facebook. The internet used to be where you went to interact with people that you'd never have met otherwise. Now it's where people hang out with people they already know. It used to make a person's world bigger and expose them to points of view they might not otherwise experience. Oh well, I guess there was no way that could last.

Don't be such a pessimist.  You can do both, you know.

But I am a paranoid and awkward person who needs anonymity to interact with other people! And I assume that everyone else is just like me!

I totally get were you're coming from Wombles, although I think I kind of missed the golden age of online interaction.
