If you are in your late thirties to mid-forties right now, there is a good chance that you have spent most of your life in a cycle of making some sort of home on the internet only to have it crumble beneath you like chalk and having to start over.
@evacide let me see... IRC, ICQ, Forums and message boards, Facebook, MMORPG, Twitter... yes, pretty much. I feel a bit like a drifter now. No real home. Just go in and out, take what I need, wave hello, and carry on.
