The discussion revolves around the confusion and humorous misunderstandings among forum members regarding various usernames and their identities. Participants share their initial misconceptions about other members, such as assuming Moonbear and Hypatia were male, or that Danger was genuinely dangerous. The conversation highlights the quirky nature of the "Franzbear" thread, which originated from a mix of forum spam and evolved into a significant topic with over 8,000 posts. Members express their struggle to understand the thread's content, with some suggesting that only the early posts are worth reading. The thread's name change is attributed to a combination of Franz Nietzsche and Moonbear, leading to playful banter about the chaotic nature of the discussions. Additionally, there is a side conversation about the dynamics of internet forums, particularly in relation to psychology, with members contemplating the absence of psychologists in their discussions and the potential for research on online behavior. Overall, the thread captures the lighthearted confusion and camaraderie of forum interactions.

Well perhaps any psychologist would avoid divulging the fact that he or she is a psychologist and would also avoid disclosing the fact that they are studying the behavior of people in order to avoid influencing that behavior.
yes,you'r right.But it's easy to know them.you know they can't avoid discussing hot topics and the way they try to get more information from people will reveal their secret. :wink: you know they have a special view about every issue and the only way they can hide it,it's to avoid of talking about anything.and unfortunately you can't get enough data about people when you don't discuss with them.Sometimes you have to get people's goat to know them.

I would imagine, somewhere at some pysch department at some university, there is a grad student doing his or her dissertation on the behavior of people on internet forums, perhaps even GD. :biggrin:
there's no special place for them to do their researches.I mean they're doing their job wherever and whenever they meet humans.
you're saying a funny memory but it allows your psychologist friend to find out your psychological problems.anyway I think internet could be a good place to do research in psychology area because sometimesit's difficult to get right information in face to face conversations esp. when his/her favorite case is lying in order to impress the poor psychologist.for sure the psychologist will understand he's lying 1 day but it takes so long.(some people don't stop lying even through internet esp. in chatrooms !:cry: )
