You know how they talk about there being "parallel worlds"....people living in another dimension at the same time as us...well, does this not make "guppies" and "Gup Shup" as a whole a "parallel world"?
Think about it: we have here a "world" let's call it "Gup Shup"....then we have nations, let's call them "Forums" (e.g. General, Meeting Ppl, etc.). Each nation has it's "Premier" (e.g. Moderator). An overall governing body is also in place, (e.g. Admin). There are rules and regulations and methods of implementing the same.
We have relationships, friendships, enemies and conflicts taking place, however, none of them are real. Or are they?
What also strikes me is our readiness to reveal so much more to members of this world than we would to those in our physical world.
There are ties with folks that we haven't ever met and might never meet. Very strong ties....comparable to "real" friends. This brings us to the "cross-over" phenomenon.
I am one of those people that has a hard time being satisfied just with a "cyber friendship". I need to meet those people to "bring them to life". Many of you have been guppies for years...how do you stay content? How does this parallel world appease your curiosity?
