Protist":tk09mqhv said:I want to respond to, and elaborate upon, Zhu's point that no one suggested Oldhammer as a community. The primary definition of Oldhammer I gave, (on page 2 ) is the idea of a community:
Oldhammer is the forum I came across whilst I was trying to discover as much as I could about the 'magical age' of gaming... This forum has allowed me to explore these ideas with like minded individuals
Oh. OK. Sorry I interpreted that differently. From my POV the 'forum' is a platform, a kind of architectural space that is held in commons (unlike other spaces, which are more like fiefdoms ) and affords a wide variety of interactions between individuals, I don't recognise the forum itself as a "community" (any more than people who use a telephone network is a community), although it's membership, along with anyone else perusing Old[War]hammer can be considered as such.

Precisely!
