Message: [QUOTE="lestagio, post: 554805, member: 911738"] I had been aware of the Sims, but I was getting older and into college around the time it began to grow. I had always looked at it as kind of boring. There was no strategizing to command your army, no blowing up demons, no exploring a fantasy world. It just seemed boring to me. I had no idea that there was such a community around it! That said, there were some chatrooms in the late 90s and early 2000s that had very tight-knit groups of people. You'd hop into the Warez channel and trade games with people. I talked to quite a few people on there and there were actually quite a few supportive people just dicking around. Doesn't seem like it was the same level of community as you mentioned, but it was definitely special. As I got deeper into college though, I stopped really paying attention and then the community was mostly gone. Not entirely, but it was simply not the same as it had been. No one was speaking all 1337, everyone was more rude and all about piracy and just... general assholery instead of having actual discussion. The feeling was gone. [/QUOTE]
