Not that this is highly relevant, but I have to say that some online
text-based communities are still going strong... There is a MUD called
Medievia (telnet://medievia.com:4000) that took more than a hundred
hours of my life last year (bored during free periods in High School).
Most of the time I was on, there were between 800 and 900 members on at
the same time as I. It is so popular because it was great fun, huge
(more than 4 million rooms as of some time last year) and the admins
added new sections and contests ("quests") almost every week. It's still
strong to this day (which surprises even me), mainly because of the hard
work of the sysops and the great community. I've used IRC for the past
two or three years, but it definitely lacks _something_ that you just
can't get in a BBS or MUD system. Just wanted to get my $0.02 in, not
trying to disrupt the flam^H^H^H^H discussion in progress...
