I don’t think I spent much time online probably until high school, I think that’s when my family got DSL. I never really participated in any boards or IRC channels, or any internet culture in general. It wasn’t until after I was well into college that I think I did any learning through internet osmosis. So in the having access to the internet sense, any online community is probably easier than when I was growing up. Also, If I’m reading the wiki correctly, I was familiar with the Swedish admin of VCL on FA as foople. I liked their writing. RIP
