For my English class, I had to write a paper that analyzes and discusses a discourse community - a community geared that is often defined as having a single goal oriented mind that has disccusions solely through the use and analysis of written communication. I chose to use this site, cited as a gaming community as the topic of my paper. Why? It fits the description of a discourse community perfectly. We're all like minded people with similar interests that gather here daily to discuss things through the use of written communication - ie the shoutbox. What's more, we've known each other for so long that it makes perfect sense that we identify as a single, cohesive community. 

 

In any case, I thought it was a little interesting to analyze our community through a different lens. I always just come here to talk and chill with my old friends but we are so much more than just a bunch of people gathering in a common place to talk. We're a living, breathing, well oiled and maintained community. :D

Jesus Christ almighty are you sappy. I thought you Muslims hated ham, but you just dropped a big one.

Asshattery aside, you really sure we're the best example?

Oil? I prefer water based lube. It's better for your body and your body.
