Fry Time: What makes a Community

A community is a pretty cool thing that does not care what you think. sorta. At its core, I would say it is a group of people, big or small, tied together by common ideals, beliefs or location.  For the longest time a community had to be formed in one area, and situated there for it to survive.  Now you can also have an online community, which is becoming much more popular in todays society.  The attractiveness of the online community is that you can access it just about anywhere you have internet.  You do not need to go out and talk to people or see them, you can just log on and chat with them.  But even online, communities still need to be bound together by a few simple things.  They have to have an overlying goal that will hold the people together, and you need to have a central place to meet. And thats what makes online so attractive, it provides all that and more.  Plus, being able to retain anonymousness is pretty legit.
