>Dear Air-ers -
>
>I was trying to recall a paper given at Toronto that
>viewed the life & death of an online community.  I
>believe it was called Everquest???? but now I'm not
>sure.
>
>Anyone who presented at Toronto on the life & death of
>an online community would you be so kind as to give
>the name of your paper here or send it to me off list.
>
>I am using it to illustrate the impermanence of online
communities - any
>other references to 'off-line' or dead communities would be
greatly
>appreciated.
>
>Thanks, Denise
