I've been using forums for over 16 years, and despite all the "hard work" I've put into them, there's not a great deal to show for it. Although the Internet is supposed to be a hobby. Many of the message boards I was fond of from yesteryear are gone now. Forums in general also seem to have gone downhill, and messengers too, since Facebook has a chat function.

Really, I think the online world can make people abhorrent. I'm not really a lover of social media, per se. Forums have always been my home away from home. Although I liked Bebo far more than Facebook, Bebo is now just an app. To me, Facebook isn't that fascinating anyway. It seems to slow my laptop down now too.

If you spend too long in front of a screen, it can make you feel proper ill. Reading that last post about the online world being addictive is certainly true.
