Mind you, of those, there are some who only post in one or two forum. That means that you're most likely to only know about 300-400 posters by name. Like, if you don't play Civ 3, you won't know the majority of those who post exclusively in Civ 3 forums.


That actually works out quite well. I recall reading years ago that a community can remain intimate about its members up to about 300-500 people, and after that there will be people in the community who will nonetheless be strangers to others in the same community.

This thread is fascinating.

I totally agree that I feel like I know more posters more than others. I don't play Civ so I don't know a lot of people that come from there...but I like to think that I know more of the AC people. And of course there is the OT people. I tend to semi-lurk there and post every once in a while....although I find it more and more hard to NOT post.

Intimate, yet stranger in a community.

Someone should really do some research into this. Bring someone with a sociology degree up in here!

(this reminds me, I did a psychology presentation on something similar to this. My presentation was on cyber-communities and how people relate to one another. Should see how I structured it. I used Apolyton as an example.... )

Frankychan,

Some of the people (though admitedly not many) you know from the AC game(s) are also in the Civ games.

What's the name of that 3rd rate actor they number other actors after how many films they're away from him?

We should make similar listings for 'Poly, based on having posted in the same threads ...

That would be interesting.

How would you compile the list? Since some posts are deleted, you would not have the full set to work from.

The name of the game is "The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon", IIRC.
