I remember back in the day, chat rooms were all the rage. It was why most people got internet in the first place. Are there actually any good chat rooms? How about web forums?
I’m one of those sophisticated types who discuss films, not ‘movies’ and read books, not pulp fiction from the best sellers list. Any tips?
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is still around, and there are still clients for this. For windows clients, check a site like tucows: http://www.tucows.com/downloads/Windows/Internet/IRC/ . There are millions of chat rooms, and I’ll leave it to your discretion as an adult as to which are “good” or not (some are and some aren’t). Same goes for web forums and bulletin boards and newsgroups and even email lists.
When you come down to it, what’s the difference between movies and films? Some academics study the Three Stooges and many academic libraries have collections of pulp fiction. Like fine wine, maybe it just needs to age a few years until there’s no more interest from the hoi polloi, whom you wish to avoid.
