Do you think of this message board as your "Other Family" or simply a message board?

A place to swap ideas with like-minded acquaintances.

thanks.
I've been quite depressed lately, & after the entire "I'm starting to really dislike this board" thread, It just seems like a lot of people here don't like me.
Maybe it's just me, I do suck at socializing.

Simply a message board for when I don't feel like doing anything else.

I've only been here a short while, but it does seem to me that this board is less cordial than NT boards I've visited. I guess many of us here suck at socializing, and at making "polite noises". On the other hand, I haven't seen any flame wars here either.

This is mainly a message and discussion board for me. I consider the Siamese cat board my primary message board, but it is interesting here too.

In my own way of wording things, I'd say this board helps me deal with some of the issues of life in general by seeing how others deal with such.2nd, I may not have a tonful of friends here as of yet but, that's because I've been away from this board for quite some time.Still, I'm glad to have found this internet community nonetheless.

I consider it to be filled with many top quality acquantancies, but no more than that... I sure don't perceive them as another family... but I do have an attachment to this place.

Nope. I have exactly the same problem here as I do everywhere else - I can't bring myself to properly communicate with anyone here, and usually just post responses to thread titles/questions, or lurk and read everyone elses.

This is a nice place though - a lot less passive (or not so passive) aggression than on most message boards.
