h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You know, one thing I've noticed about the H2G2 is how fairly closely-knit my particular circle of friends is. On top of that, it's *friendly*. Apart from a couple particular incidents years ago (but what *wasn't* years ago these days), there's been pretty much no flaming rows, or whining, or that kind of thing.

The context was that I'd been going to post a link to a rather humorous Livejournal post about dealing with internet drama, particularly in internet roleplay, but as far as I know, no one I RP with actually needs the advice (which boils down to "stop taking it seriously, this is silly"). I mean, this can't *just* be because most of the people I deal with are British (or, conversely, that everyone who *is* involved with drama is American). It probably has something to do with the fact that we're a rather small group, and an observation I've made to the effect that popularity means that not *only* intelligent people are interested in it. Plus the way the H2G2 makes it somewhat easier for said intelligent people to stick together without much intrusion from twits.

'tis true, we seem to get by without much drama involved, somthing that I'm very thankful for.

The only two places I've ever really seen the lack of drama at are here, and the MST3K board I admin at. Perhaps MST3K and Douglas Adams attract the same types of friendly, normally intelligent people.
