As far as injuries go, one of my worst would be when I fell off stairs; it was 2am, if I remember correctly, but I was extremely sleepy and didn't pay much attention to my steps, which was the cause of it. Was in severe pain when it had happened, but began to fade after six to eight hours or so. Was pretty young back then, so thank god; if I were older, it probably would've been a bit more serious.

I can be such a klutz, it's honestly a miracle that I haven't had any more accidents or injuries, haha. My parents say they're worried that when they let me start driving around on my own, that clumsiness will translate to my driving, which is crazy because I'm actually a good driver and not terrible at it like one of my friends, who I will never go anywhere with again. Ever. :[

Just please don't tell me you live about 25 miles north west off of Chicago.
Uh...I am northwest of Chicago. We might be neighbors.

My location has been sucked into a void. Please tell me you don't live there. xD

Shhh, she'd probably sacrifice me to Cthulhu.

Sleepy Hollow. Please tell me you don't live there. xD
You're about half an hour more west of me. :) Close though! Maybe someday we could do a mini PC meetup.

Okay. This is good news.

Too close in my opinion. Also, I doubt I'll be going unless someone could help me get a job or if I get one by then. xD

And by PC she means politically correct of course. You have to wear formals and address her calmly and with utmost respect for her values and morals

Crazy that two PC members might live near each other. Insane, even. One of you must move immediately.

Sometimes PC confuses me. On another forum I visit as soon as someone moves near another person the first thing anyone does is set up a meetup to get them used to the area. I know if I post on there "I want to meet some people in this forum from Chicago!" I'd have a dozen responses. Here it's like everyone hides their identity so closely that I didn't even know if anyone lived in this area until now, and even then those people wouldn't want to meet up. I guess part of it is an age group (the other forum is mostly late 20s-mid 30s) and part of it is just culture.

PC culture prohibits two things: change and the exhibition of anything outside of the computer screen. :D

Or maybe the people in your area are socially awkward. xD (That'd be me)
That's actually what I meant by culture - that forum isn't based around something like Pokemon or other such nerdy things, and those nerdy things tend to attract socially awkward people, which means that the culture of the forum here is socially awkward while it's not there.

PC is meant to cater to a younger audience foremost; it's based on a series of games and cartoons that are mostly aimed at a young audience. You also have a lot of warnings against posting personal or revealing information about yourself on the Internet at large (and I think on here too) and this is something Steve and the staff have to be especially aware of on the forums, I think. The young audience lends itself to more privacy with members and their personal information and it sort of spreads to everyone else, regardless of age.

Beyond that, some people have a facade/image they present of themselves on the forums and meetups/Facebook/personal info could change how they are perceived by people, so some people like the privacy/anonymity of a forum to present themselves as they want to be seen. :P

Yeah, that's basically what I said. Part of it is younger userbases that haven't figured out yet how to navigate the personal/public divide of forumspace, or have more to fear from it, and the other part is the culture of PC; the other forum is very open about who people are and much less posture-y so meeting with a person in real life is almost identical to meeting with a person online.

Although the "young audience" of Pokemon doesn't really map to the userbase of PC because the target age group of Pokemon is ~10 and you can't even join PC at that point, haha.
