ORIGINAL: puella Just a curiosity on my part: How do you use collarme? Is it a tool to meet people? Do you primarily look for discussion in the forums? Do you use it to keep in contact with others? Thanks! All of the above. I have used it to meet people, as local meeting are rare other than the "regulars" at our munch and locals generally don't pan out anyway. I have met several people from Collarme face to face, some as friends, some that have joined us but for one reason or another and it didn't last and fairly recently one particularly unbelievably successful long distance imported relationship. Actually the two most important people in my life I met on line, so I am the eternal optimist that it works if you give it a chance...well and if you do that "kiss a lot of toads/frogs" thing..lol. I like the forums for several reasons. There really are some words of wisdom out there, even though you usually have to sift quite a bit to find it. I like the fact that you can share ideas and thoughts and even though you may not always get a positive response, it does challenge you to think before you post. Also it's nice to be able to offer advise for situations that experience has given you insight and where you may be able to help the person asking the question along, saving them from having to live through the same experience. I'm usually not that social, maybe in part because I just don't like most people too much (not sure actually)...lol, so being able to converse on the boards gives that luxury of being able to communicate, without having to worry about being invited over for dinner. I used to use the chat room, but as with many chatrooms there seems to be more hello and goodbye conversations than anything of real substance. The games..well I know they are there....lol.
