The community consists mainly of like-minded geeks who enjoy the humour, but while that sounds like a narrow group, within it there's a broad spectrum. People's sense of humour go from light hearted to dark and distrubed. There's an appreciation for creativity, which some have made successes of themselves from. As with any community, a common language develops. There's plenty of in-jokes, which make people feel comfortably part of a group, and exclude outsiders, intentionally or not. Comments can be harsh, mainly for shock value, but should be taken with a pinch of salt. People are genuine and if you attempt to mask yourself or make your stories grander than they actually were, this is spotted quickly and mocked. At times, it can seem like an intimidating place but once you become part of the community, it's a enjoyable and welcoming place.
