Is there anything you picture in your mind? Besides a board with forums and threads and users and such, that is

I tend to envision it as a science-fiction city with tall buildings and such. Lots of old abandoned passages of boring grey metal and hidden rooms that are barely used. Much the same way I often pictured Acmlm's.

Ummmmmm.......you know, I really need to think about this.

I just see a board, really. Maybe..ummm...like a high school/ college setting? We all come in to chat but then when something comes up, we leave to deal with it.

Um... I picture it as a message board on the Internet.

This topic is kind of interesting to me because I've always pictured individual people on message boards--I usually associate my mental image of them with their avatar, but if they don't have an avatar I'll end up subconsciously making something up--but I've never actually pictured communities on the Internet as anything but.

This isn't for this board alone, but boards in general that I'm on.
I usually picture them as a sort of city and each building is a category.
And each forum is a room or something.
But as for the people, I just automatically picture people as their avatar or pictures in their sig.

Deppends on the forum/thread.

This one is breaking the fourth wall, so I picture it as the index. That's not good.

I just imagine a big empty space with a night sky and pretty dark purple ground, like the default Night theme. Everyone stands around talking and showing each other stuff.


I've never really put a lot of thought into it.

Paulguy's Post configuration
I always think of internet forums and chat rooms is a kind of office style room: White walls, drop ceiling, grey or blue berber carpet or possibly that weird patterned tile you see in schools. The room might contain chairs and tables and I almost always picture a water cooler in the corner. And people can just modify the room and materialize whatever they please. Ops/admins carry clubs.

I've always thought of a high school when I've pictured Jul. The social aspect here seems to be very similar to that.

I've worked so much with Acmlmboard code that I might as well picture the source.

The only time I've associated Jul with a place was back in the Anya vs Xkeep thread where everyone was standing around a single tree in the middle of a giant field of grass with mountains on the horizon. It was a nice place.

I don't really picture Jul.
But a high school type environment, I guess.

I kinda picture Jul as a non-stop convention about everything. People come in, talk about stuff, and come back tomorrow for the latest update.

Every user here is their own person (I, of course, am just a picture), and it's expressed differently through every user.

I always thought of it as some type of city-like community, with each thread in a different area and with a different look. I can't describe it really, though. I just think of it as something other than a board.

I picture Jul as areas of Link's Awakening.

Craziness is Pothole Field, staff forums are Tal-Tal Heights and such overlooking the place, General is the main town, etc. etc.

It'd be reworked a bit but otherwise it'd be like that.

This.

Just kidding, just kidding.
I have to think about it a lot more, though.

Thanks to that old comic, I've always seen message boards as a sort of office building with the offices being the threads, and the floors being the forums. Other than that distinction, it's pretty much exactly how paulguy pictures it, but without the clubs.

But really, like cpu I see it as areas of LA. It's odd really.
