Does it feel like a Forum Culture?

If you think about it, online forums like this have a certain culture to them. And forums for different audiences have unique cultures and are sometimes drastically different from forums like this one. I think it is interesting the kind of interactions and 'cultural norms' that exist on forums.
Did you get my play on words? Foreign/Forum Culture? Sorry for being so cheesy 
Are you a part of other forums? What are some forums you've seen?

Not part of any other forum, but what sort of "cultural norms" have you observed here?

It seems to me that forums are a place in an online community that has a sort of supportive feel to them. Especially when you are talking very specific forums, such as medical or sports forums, but I find it neat that general forums like this have a supportive tone and are a place to talk about different topics- in kind of an open and conversational way, and less full of judgment like some other online platforms could be.

@craftsmart Oh yes that's true. I like it better too, you have access to so many different subjects yet can still narrow down your search based on topics if your interest.

I get what you mean. Aside from myLot, I'm a part of a sports betting forum.

In this place, it's like the whole world is having a group talk with each other.

I guess I am noticing how online forums are in a way their own culture. I am wondering if you feel the same way, have different forum experiences, or if you have other thoughts about the way people interact on forums like this.
