Communitys

A message board is a community. Being a big fan of the Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan I looked for and found two of the biggest Wheel of time communities, Dragonmount or Dm, and Tarvalon.net otherwise known as Tv.net. The two sites allow you to interact with people all over the world and learn new and interesting things from them all. What holds the group of people together is the love of the books and the sense of community that the sites have. A sense of togetherness defines a Wheel of Time community. As with all large groups of people there will be conflict. Personalities don't always mesh and fights break out. On the site there are people who try and keep everyone if not together and happy then at least trying to be nice to each other. There are also site rules so that people do not purposely try to hurt other people and to keep things running as smoothly as it can. Sometimes there will be people who come on site just to try and find someone to have sex with but generally they are banned from the site rather quickly.

For me DM is a place to unwind, I have a temper and tend to take offense easily to things. DM very relaxed and easy going which makes my time there more fun. I have only small complaints with people and and I tend to tell everyone whatever I think of them when talks come up. I am one of three most outspoken members on the board. I enjoy my time there because I have a love of the Wheel of time books and i've made many good friends, and several i've met off the boards.
