    Where is your internet "home", plus a Webby request?

    Internet's not my home, more like a social lounge with Skype being the main room with doors to everything else. Though I could say that it was a home in the past, when I was a teenager. Used to spend a lot of time on an RPG forum called Realms.ru, which is dead, unfortunately. The community...
