    If you rename the "Police" to the "Fun Police" I will love you forever.

    Instead of being judged on appearances, you are judged on what you say and how you type.

    Utopia, nah.

    Once you encouter your first piece of internet drama, you'll realize that the internet is no better than the real world.

    It's easier not to care on the Internet, though.

    I think, to a degree, we all still will judge each other, as Mr. Graves said, this time more with our words than our appearances. Though, I wonder if perhaps this is a better assessment of oneself since words are harder to form biases against when compared to looks.

    EoFF is a great community, filled with many wonderful people who do indeed contribute in their own unique and profound way, but I think utopias are outside of the realm of possibility when you really can't get to know someone personally, but merely as an online image.

    Take care all.

    you sure about that?lol.

    Anyway im pretty much new here and i can say it ain't perfect but you guys really aren't demanding of how a person types.Like complaining how a poster doesnt but spaces after his periods yeah small stuff like that.Then they pretend not to understand what you typed.Anyway compared to the many other forums i've been to this is th ebest but it isnt a utopia.Though there was one forum that was a true utopia man i loved it i enjoyed mysdelf there. it was called finalfantasycity.Also known as City Of Final Fantasy or coFF

    I don't think so. It's just for people around the world to communicate and meet new people.

    It's close enough. The best thing about this society is that it's a lot easier to banish someone or correct something if it is wrong. So it has that going for it.

    You're in good hands.

    Del, it's Morals' Police, not Morals Police.

    Default i thought we were an autonomous collective.

    EoFF is more of a benevolent oligarchy.

    If we comprised some sort of hive mind, these things would be so much easier.

    Grin You mean now?

    Questionable orthography makes me woozy.

    Let's also take "place", "closer", "least", and "loose" in a looser sense as well. Then we'll see... oh wait, that's right. Nothing.

    How about we just enjoy what we've got and not wonder? The whole concept of Utopia is flawed anyway, with the definition "perfect" being impossible in a opiniated sense. I enjoy EoFF because it's a well organised forum with nice people. But a type of Utopia? Hmmm...
