So, with the plethora of other sites on the internet that are conducive to gathering a hive of assholes, why do we feel the need to create another along those lines?
First, we are not anonymous. Everyone in the channel knows at least one of the other people personally. We've been a group for a long time and someone will know one of the other people in the real world. There's a measure of accountability there that you won't find on an anonymous forum. While we certainly find it funny to mock people on the internet, sometimes you need a group of people who you know are trustworthy because, if they decide to be a dick, you know where they live.
We also tend to be a bit more restrained than the average con going geek or average internet user. Our members are not into "casual encounters" with perfect strangers in any form. Real life, cyber, etc. Our members aren't the type to drink heavily and brag about it the next day. We don't do heavy drugs unless perhaps we've been given a lovely prescription to vicodin. Lyme and vicodin are currently engaged. We really don't do much in excess except curse and tell horrible jokes.
What you see in channel is what you get. Our personalities online are what you get in the real world. Lyme is just as loud and obnoxious in real life, Chi is just as quiet and deceptively sweet with evil tendencies, and Eryn is just as Eryn-y. This of course does not count work or school. Those are special exceptions where, generally speaking, you don't tell dead baby jokes or describe bowel movements. Sadly if you want to keep a good job you often have to have act normal.
Finally, for some bizarre reason, the majority of our members are female. Verifiably female. Complete with boobs and a vajayjay. Not a common thing to find on the internet, at least not in the areas we frequent. Usually the men are men and the women are men. We have more male members now, HAHA double entendre, so it's slowly balancing out. The regulars are mostly female however.
