Props to Hubilub for the idea: This week and the next we are going to be showcasing two user groups. 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 P.R.I.A.T.E. and the inserted comments from a couple the admins from Asylum Open Mic:

  1. Why was P.R.I.A.T.E. founded?

    Furburt:
    Apparently, it was something about hating children, but that’s long forgotten!

Demented_Teddy:
I believe it was founded as a joke group at a time when Sassafrass was annoyed at some kids, seeing as P.R.I.A.T.E. stands for People Really Irked by Annoying Tykes Everyday. Since then, I imagine it just became a complete social group with many users after joining and making friends with other users. It’s how I got to know a good handful of other users.

  • What do you see as the future of the group?

    Furburt:
    Even more pages of chat.
    Seriously, we can’t stop talking. We’ve tried.

    • Sassafrass:
    Many, many, many pages of chat.
    And hopefully more practical jokes within the community, like the recent spread of the Jim Gaga avatars. All will be done with the staffs agreement, of course. We shall try to spread fun like butter on crumpets!

  • What do you think other users could gain from the group?

    Furburt:
    Well, our sense of fun is infectious. Plus, we have a rather interesting paradox as in we’re very tight-knit, but very accepting too. So if you need a friend, we’re pretty much always there.
    Unless we hate you, of course. But that rarely happens.
