Wouldn,t quite go as far as family, community maybe, some friends maybe,we try our best to answer some of the most tedious questions,always, don,t we sawali? I,ve answered 36 direction questions today, just shows how sad I am huh?

Colleen

Yes, community.
How sad am I answering all the boring questions up to 200 or more per day?

Colleen

I did, it didn't work.

Yes indeed it feels like a family to me spread all around the world, some members are just  a bit like long lost cousins, others like moms amd dads at yet some like the brother we try not to talk about..

We are a community, We wonder where some of our members are when they are not on line for awhile.  We try to help all and hope everyone's life is going well! Sounds like a family!

The "Mob" perhaps. We do all share similarities. We've got some tough a** woman here. And Men who can actually show gentleness and compassion. Same as in my biological family. What's wrong with two families?

And some we wish we had never met or talked to.

Not like my family. You are more like the family I would like to call family. 

yes,it is fun.

Yeah, we could probably be said to be a community...or maybe even more than that for some people.

Yes like a dysfunctional family, with it's hippies, long haired, short haired, dog lovers, cat lovers, cow lovers, fish lovers, religious nuts, non religious nuts and yes the headless............lol

I find they are like friends when I'm alone, its like having someone else around to talk to, I also wonder sometimes when I don't see some of the regular contributors here and hope their o.k as you would a friend, at times I cringe when I see some questions.But find when I'm busy and haven't been here for a couple of days I'm keen to see whats been happening while Ive been gone

My family is far and wide... serious bunch of coconut aliens as it would seem seeing as I burned to death in Ed Shank's room of hell.  Poor Ducka is still feeling the guilt. 

What the heck about the underground??? I am suspicious... I need to put the power of mind meld on that one...

Do I know anyone through email?  Only Julie and the akaQA intellies when I have a question. 

I correspond with the Great and Uber Intellegent... All Knowing Eggplant through my alien sidekick Carl (who will not leave even when the space bus shows up each and every Tuesday morning................ALREADY!)   The Eggplant and Carl have a thang going on!

Keep me posted on this clickie-wickie thing.

Oh dear Fish Fry..what can I say?
boo hoo hoo...boo hoo hoo...sniff..sniff :(

Ducky

Oh good, then I am happy for your new eyes and skinnier body! haha

Think id go with community rather than family but call it what you like,i like it!!Reckon theres some nice people on here too

Not quite family...............

Colleen

Clique, long time members who have gotten to know each other quite well over these last 11 months. If that's a clique, I think it's a good thing. :)

 "You've been down there a long time. What are you looking for? I hope it's not aliens."

"No, it's not aliens,. I'm looking for some akaqa members, who someone said are underground. But I can't find anyone....yet."

"Perhaps you need to dig deeper."

"Then I might suffocate."

"I'll go back and get you a diving suit."

I know that I can count on this Family (2nd Family) most people on this site have given me sooo much help you will never know they are always there for me .......like I would be there for them I love this site it has saved my sanity most of the time x 

A much larger than any real family anyone of us may have and with many more dimples, smiles, doos, warts and all that all our real familes have.

There are also a few minifamilies within it too...

Sometimes it is like families..................some families.........................but it is like a BIG community on here, even a worldwide community!!!!

Jh, how do some of you get eachother's email addresses and communicate with each other?. I think there's an underground here, that we're not all privilaged to be in.

Hi there mycatsmom,if you would like to contact a member from akaQA you can ask a moderator to forward your email address on to the member.It is up to that person to then contact you.

i love this question and i ponder it very ofter.  what is akaqa like? i don't really know, but sometimes it reminds me of a big brain that is always trying to figure things out in a humourous and positive manner, even when we debate & argue with each other.  this question is facinating to me. and perhaps it is something like a family.  when i get on this site it is very relaxing to me.  i do have a certain amount of stress in my everyday life. but not on this site.  i love it.  i love the people even tho i don't know what they look like or sound like.  i could not wait to talk to everybody after i got thur my holiday madness.  its kind of like a soul mate and family to me.  i love these people and wish everybody could exprience something like this. it is truly facinating to me, but i don't really know the answer.

I have always thought of Aka as a family, a little dysfunctional at times just like a real family i KNOW., i feel refreshed after a month away from Aka, already to fire in 2012.

sawali,

Based on what you thought before asked this Q and on all answers and comments to/about your Q what is your answer to this Q now?

Colleen

Sawali, Fish fry puts down no one. She is here, answering a lot of questions daily and giving good thoughtful advice and real answers where needed. She has fun, she makes people laugh. I know that is against your laws but it is not against akaQA rules. She does not have a negative idea of akaQA, not one. You, all you do is complain and try to incite argument. You hardly ever answer a question here unless it's an old question and has been answered many times already. Do not falsely accuse a person of doing something they do not do. It just makes you look like a fool. She has not even put you down. She's just called you out on the fact that you put the members here down and many have agreed with her. I know, I've seen the complaints come in. You need to stop now and just be the member here that you try to say you are, but are not. Move on from this now.

Coleen,

I was notified about two comments on my answer. I could not see any...

Colleen

If I remove a comment from someone's answer, I let the person know. You would have received a message from me. It could be an admin removed something or the person who posted was suspended for something concerning another question. When a person is suspended forever, everything they ever posted gets removed along with them.

A nice think I noticed is akaqa members halve the sorrows and double the joys by sharing them...
