Internet messageboards and communities are becoming increasingly popular and many people make good friends at these places. A messageboard regular's circumstance however may cause them to break away from the community: perhaps they found a new job, graduated college, moved country, got kicked out of home, whatever.
Usernames Reunited is basically a rip off of the Friends Reunited model, except schools / places of work etc are replaced with a database of messageboards and internet communities past and present (the database can be added to in case your chosen community isn't there).
In say five or ten years time, I predict that there will be a great urge among people to get in touch with old internet pals and tell them all about where they are in life.-- Ape, Oct 08 2006 You could start with all the poeple here who haven't posted anything in ages - BigThor, Rayfo, waugsqueke, etc.-- DrCurry, Oct 08 2006 random, halfbakery
