The premise of this is based upon my wonderings upon where the location of the Opeth Off-topic forum dissipated itself toward. I remember the switch to SOT, then the migration of SOT2, but then stopped paying what little attention I had left of that place ever since.
The greater question is where do these internet existences go to when they disappear? Even at RC, whose prime was peaked awhile back, many of the usual suspects remain. I even swapped messages with BlackWinterDay just this week, and many of the original crew (no, I'm not one, I wandered over yonder about 4 months in) are still hanging about.
So where do all the personalities go? Back to reality? I remember witnessing certain internet personas in other realms wave goodbye to their e-friends saying things like "sorry, I have a girlfriend now, so I must leave." Is the stereotypical loser living in their parents basement the norm, and once said disease is cured, are the group therapy sessions left out in the cold?
Is that what we all are here, is this really Second Life just 10 years early? I was discussing my stock portfolio here just yesterday, and a few years ago JayK and myself were getting loaded in Vegas. This place is just a text-based telephone for me.
Not sober.
