Do you need psych books?

I bought my psychology book for $70 and turns out I wouldn't really need it, but it helps to have it. ACK. But it's such a pretty book. *basks it the new book smell*

Forums have been around for a long time. Look at the soompi forums before the huge crash in 2005. That forum's been around for a while.

Forums are ways for people to get to know each other and/or help each other. I mean, we all might go to specific forums to discuss certain subjects or to solve problems, but it's not something like myspace or anything. Or well, actually I guess it could be since cB has the whole cB profile going on. But anyways, message boards are not fads. It's not some trend that a bunch pop up and then suddenly all forums die. Forums usually fail if they can't maintain it well enough, I guess. Or members just stop coming altogether.
