Is being a member of a forum a good use of time? Why or why not? Consider not only posts, but also that members will meet, and what members could have done in their offline life had they not found the forum. Does anyone really get anything out of being part of a forum which, if the time spent online was dedicated instead to their offline lives, they couldn't have had anyway? Why do people bother with online lives in the first place? Is it healthy?
