I used to been involved in smaller forum communities over the years, usually niche interests, gaming groups or similar close knit groups that also gathered on IRC. Spent a lot of time on IRC until about 2010. Most of those communities are now gone, one of which I stopped visiting after I found out an old friend there took his own life during a time I'd parted ways with the site, I regret not being there. Since then Ive been a drifter, sometimes finding myself in places like Ruqqus, until that disappeared. Occasionally I'd browse the web for new or alternative places where people gather to chat shit. Saidit has become that place, and despite my slightly schizo habit of changing my identity here a dozen times, it's become something of an online home lately.
