    1. What do you use the forums most for? Entertainment and socialization. I get bored, I visit forums. There's some hope I'll eventually find likeminded people. Also I just like to write my opinions on various matters.

    2. Does the forums service a personal need or want? If so, what exactly. A need for socialization. I take inspiration from people I talk to sometimes. It motivates me and gives me new ideas for things to do. I learn new things now and then. Occasionally I'll visit specialized forums if I need to read specific information or opinions.

    3. Do you plan or have you met anyone in real life that you met on the forums, If so how did it turn out? Well I haven't met anyone from PerC, but I've met a couple of people from online before and it went just fine, I'm not against meeting internet people but I am picky and will expect to be good friends with them first. I'm not into casual group meetups.

    1: Some forums I tend to lurk, and read what others think. Others I post a lot.

    2: Yes. I'm an introvert with a lot of weird thoughts in my mind. I need to let them out somehow. And internet forums provide me with that. It also gives me a place where I can argue with people over the most abysmal issues. It just seems to be something I tend to do quite a bit. Other than that I also read quite a bit to get opinions on different subjects, and to read conflicting viewpoints in the hope that I'll have a more objective and well informed look on a a subject.

    3: I don't plan that. I did however meet up with one guy I ran a forum with back in the days. Though we met in an online game. It turned out kind of like suspected. At first it was a bit weird, and somewhat awkward. But after half an hour, we were pretty much communicating like we were online (though we bickered a little less than online :P)
