Also there are several types of people who write on the forums, so they are not a homogeneous group. Some people only read these writings, some only talk about music, some like to talk seriously, some are trolling, some are more lounge-focused etc.

It takes a bit of intelligence to comprehend the scope of a forum, and there are quite a few people I know personally that wouldn't be able to comprehend the concept. On the other side of the coin, I see a bit of loneliness in people who are forum goers. Possibly, seeing the interactions as a way of self assertion. So for what I've seen, people who frequent forums are lonely intellectuals mostly.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Obviously the trolls don't count.

I don't necessarily agree with the lonely part though. It might be true for some people but not everyone that attends forums regularly. They have lives outside of the forums and some people only visit while at work or while at school to fill up boredom time. Some people only visit for an hour or so while at home then go on with their social lives. It definitely varies.

I often feel just as lonely online as I do around people in my life (apart from those closest to me, which are precious and few). Comes with the shy girl's territory, man.
