As I mentioned in the last article, we are featured two user groups simultaneously. As a recap:
Asylum Open Mic and P.R.I.A.T.E are two huge user groups based purely around social interaction. Some share users, some of the users have rivalries, and some users are best friends. However, they both claim to be “kind.” I thought that given the chance, they would jump at each others’ throats, but that turned out to be a false assumption!
I interviewed both user groups separately and then gave them a chance to “critique” the other group’s answers. They did so with glee, and what arose was a … well, just see for yourself.
This week, we are showing the interview answers from Asylum Open Mic and the inserted comments from a couple the admins from P.R.I.A.T.E.:
- Why was Asylum Open Mic founded?
Neonbob:
Because Souplex wanted a place reserved for sheer babble that had no place on the forums, I suppose.
I’m not using it as a tracking mechanism at all. Promise.Souplex:
Boredom really. it was at a point when there wasn’t much going on, and I realized I could make a usergroup, so I felt why not?Manaman:
One bright sunny night in the South Sea, a man named Souplex looked upon the world and was distraught that so many where so sane. Seeing that the world was in peril this man built the asylum brick by brick, stacking them high into the sky for twenty years. One cold bitter afternoon in the outskirts of New York the Asylum quietly opened and the first of many wandered inside, destined to be cured of their sanity. Thusly Souplex created the first case of insanity so that the world would know variety.‘); Element.remove(‘spoiler_f62e6147c94be7f7adfea07344550afb’); Element.remove(this);”>

Hopefully, more people will join it and continue the grand tradition of coming up with off the wall stuff…yeah, I’m not good at guessing this kinda stuff.‘); Element.remove(‘spoiler_078c59ba6c423e124ad81f52fc1cca9d’); Element.remove(this);”>
