I wouldn't see a point in this' date=' considering I don't know [i']anybody[/i] here in real life and not much of a friend with anybody here anyways. =\

 

You've never made a friend on YCM?! Why not?

 

Well, I guess it depends on how you define "friend". For me it's when you know someone so well you feel comfortable and wide open when talking to them.

 

That's how I define it, considering I have Asperger's Syndrome in real life. Not fun to live with, I gotta tell ya. >.<

Asperger's isn't so bad. I feel privileged to have it, seeing as every genius in the history of the world has had a little of it. I'd trade social skills for intelligence any day of the week.

 

Why not? I'll support unless I have reason not to.

Reasons:

•Chatboxes and IM clients are too easy. The quality of chat messages is far below what is expected in a full-on post or PM. However' date=' as members repeatedly use the chat system (for its simplicity and speed), they will become used to typing very quickly and at low quality. The quality of posts and PMs, and therefore the quality of the forum itself, will quickly deteriorate.

•We're a forum, a completely different medium of discussion. Having a chatbox on a forum is like having a newspaper on television.

•People will take discussions to the IM client or chatbox rather than the due section, therefore rendering the mammoth General and Polls sections, along with all three Multimedia secions, completely defunct.
