Topix website
I live in a college town with an obvious divide between the Townies and the Transplants. The Transplants are predominantly associated on some level with the university - faculty, students, administrators, etc... For the most part, the university is its own little microcosm, and has typical college-type communication/gossip channels. But the town, on the other hand, doesn't really have such channels available beyond the local newspaper Op-Ed columns and the conversations held at the local coffee shops and hair salons. This seems to have resulted in the town's Topix website being overrun with negative gossipy threads. The anonymous keyboard courage is prolific, and it's embarrassing to see my town's public display of dirty laundry airing and the like.
So, just out of curiosity, my question is this: Does your community have/utilize a Topix website? Is it used in a positive or negative manner? Do you contribute to your community's Topix board?
