All internet forums are pretty much the same.
They start out as an informational tool used to convey needed or required information.
What they end up turning into a means for self-centered egotist, lonely hermits and social miscreants to flood the forums with completely useless information and mindless rants and raves.
Once you get to specific sites like this you see these tendencies get reigned in and more constructive conversations.
All I can say is that if we (the entire planet) were to experience a massive solar flare, all the internet heroes would be thrust into the dark, dark world of having to actually talk to their fellow humans.
Then there's the generations of people that have relied on the internet for all their needs, so they would be completely unable to do most of the most common things in order to survive.
I was talking to a neighbor yesterday regarding this very topic. I asked her "If you were to ask anyone under the age of 25 if they knew how to make anything from scratch, or repair ANYTHING if it broke?" Her look said it all (The look of understanding that we would be screwed if it were to happen).
