Goons. Of course.
--- Quote from: jwhouk on 28 Jun 2011, 17:57 ---I'm betting Jim's daughter is a teenager (13 years old, but still a teen).
And yes, I'm betting that interactions between her and Dora will bring back way too many reminders of how she was as a teen.
Especially when Jim reveals that his 15-year-old son is staying with his ex-wife.

Since Dora pretty much came out of the womb in pancake makeup, I kinda doubt it.

Not sure what Tiogyr was saying toward the end there, but the forum is a separate entity from you. If your country goes to war with France, are you personally at war with France? As a citizen you may take part, support it, or oppose it, or do something else, but it's not like your country was divided into millions of identical pieces. If the forum as a whole is trolled, that means the forum is in a frenzy because either a lot of people are going a little crazy, or one person is going a lot crazy, or a few people are going a little crazy while some are going a lot crazy, etc. But the state of the forum is not a fact about every individual inside.

I've got an even better comparison: I live in a rural town in Georgia. My mailing address is in that town, all my utilities are run through that town, but I'm not a part of that town's community (I'm not even allowed to vote in the local ordinances because, even though my address says I'm in that town I don't actually live within the "limits" of that town).
Same situation here, I have an account, I post and discuss things, but I'm not part of the community in any meaningful sense (unless having access to the DISCUSS forum is the only metric being used here).
Mr. Doctor:
Agree with Tiogyr. For me, being part of a community in a forum is more than just getting registered but I guess that's just me + a few others.
NotAwesomeAnymore:
Tiogyr, I think your point is the opposite of my point... If you kick up a huge fuss all over, go crazy enough, the forum will be considered to be in a 'crazy' state. You are a component of the forum that has an effect on it overall, whether you have an emotional attachment to it or not. And you can vote in it too!
I just meant that if the forum is now crazy because of you, or anyone else, doesn't make me crazy.
Also, people have different definitions of community.
Coffee_Kaioken:
Tiogyr, you got people welcoming you in and including you and all, and you're finding ways to logically discuss or contemplate it. Don't knock it, man =/
P.S. I can NOT believe that forums for other webcomics passionately hate QC that much.
