Are Forums and MMOs a form of Socialization? -
12-03-2007, 02:39 AM
As far as I'm concerned, they are. People say it doesn't count. They say any friends you make online don't count. This is not true last I checked, MSN counts as socialization, so why can't forums and mmos?
Socializing is the act of interacting with others, meaning that at this moment, I am socializing with you guys. Anyway, what are your views on this?  Sorry, My Death Note phase ended long ago.

Anyone who thinks its not a form of socialisation is just ignorant of this form of socialising really. People spend days and neglect families etc, playing Warcraft 3 for a reason.

It's not always healthy, that's for sure...but it is socialization.
Probably it is because I am "old" that I do find it a strange when people talk about their boyfriend or girlfriend, and it turns out it is someone they have never physically met. I believe relationships can be started online, and maintained online...but when I hear about emotional breakups with people that you haven't ever met or even know what they look like...

I was watching a news report about it the other day. They showed guys and girls who like to have sex via "avatar chat" like IMVU or some x-rated ones but will never talk to the opposite sex offline... lol. Truth Hurts LIFE THREATENING Lifestyles A HITMAN, A NUN Lovers

heres a story for you... just to prove my point Megan Meier was an overwieght girl and these girls in the neighborhood loved to pick on her. She had a myspace. Some girls from the neighborhood made a fake myspace account and posted a picture of a hot guy. "He" messaged her and called her pretty and was a sweetheart to her. They were talking for a few months and "he" was so nice. These girls then decided that they had had enouh fun with making her feel like she was a somebody, so "he" said "he" didnt want to talk to her because he heard she was mean to her friends (she had no friends) she was confused and hurt and she told "him" that that wasnt true. "He" told her a lot of mean things and all these girls got on their myspace and posted bulletins aobut her, calling her vulgar things. She really thought this guy had liked her and he wasnt even real... she never found out he wasnt real. She went up-stairs and hung herself. She had ben struggling with depression since 3rd grade (she was in 8th) and now, THREE months latter, the parents are JUST finding out why she committed suicide. just to let you no that YES it is socializing because people become emotionally attached to people online. happy for ChevalierHaji (hes engaged!!) madilscoops- older sis dad- drakenjecht cousin- XxVampireXBellexX am the royal spy of :AkuenKigahen cookie-usernameftw assitant in crime- Slykaz1 twin of mark duff evil twin of iceshot67 madilscoops is my reeses peanut butter cups hentaro- my ham sandwich hot brother-xXRyuseiRocketXx

I think it is, because you can talk and whatnot, just hope it isn't a pedo!

Personally I don;t believe that you can deepen any relationship through only socializing via the internet. That should be left to an actual person-to-person meeting. Now for the question, yes forums and MMOs are a way of socializing, though now it is getting ridiculous..."Second Life"...and others...
