Through intricate study one can see that different forums have developed at different times. Some have developed faster than others, some at nominal rates or some not even at all. What defines development includes stimulation, dissection and serious discussion of the purposes that these individual forums possess. It also includes the cohesion of the posters into the formation of social bonds that result into the birty of a forum's community anything other than that shall be known as a poster group.
Thus the process is this
Undeveloped->Developing->Evolved
Now I shall detail at which stage each forum is.
ROBLOX Talk- In Phase 2 of developing. (Developing is in 4 phases). RT has begun to dissect what they talk about but has failed to form social bonds bringing it together.
Let's Make a Deal- Same as above for the same reasons and will likely never leave it due to being focused on fractional, random topics preventing jelling.
Role-Playing- Phase 3 of developing. They have acheived dissection and have begun to form the first parts of social bonds. A most interesting forum. With their makeup and due to age variation plaguing it with poor game inflation normally it would have taken them eons to reach d1 phase but against high odds they have reached d3 in relatively quick time. This I beleive is somewhat my fault. I around the time of the begining WWC's third age when roleplaying was becoming popular began leading a movement of sci-fi rps in RP which brought about rapid pace development. My brand still exists today though not under my control. What have taken them great time has occured in half the time.
Rate My Robloxian- Undeveloped and sparsely populated and will likely remained so suffering from the same problem as LWIM but the latter still has more of a chance of forming social bonds then this one and they are both minuscule.
ROBLOXiwood- D2 phase, late D2 phase. They have begun to dissect their meaning and what they do and are begining to exihibit are the early conjolings of social bonds. The may very well reach Evolved sometime in the future.
Look What I Made- D2 Phase. The will likely not progress past this phase suffering what LWIM does.
Off Topic- Don't even get me started. Largely a perversion of the forums what one might even call it 4 Ch An colony. You can't say they are undeveloped but one you can say is they are an early D1 phase and will likely not reach past it. The randomness of their nature has prevented D2 and their flame wars destroy social bonds faster than heat does to seamen.
Sports- About D2 phase. They have reached dissection although limited and early signs of premature social bonds are forming, I am uncertain whether they could progress to evolved.
Music- D1 phase unfortunately due to lack of population and social bonds. Has great potential.
Movies/TV/Books- D3 phase, they have acheived limited dissection and have formed social bonds now all they need is to figure out how to jell them and then transition them to evolved. great potential. Though they need be wary for they have potential suffer from LMID syndrome which will cause devolution.
World Wide Chat- Evolved. Heavily. We of WWC are a unique forum. We not long after our creation developed unnaturally fast. Why? We were invaded and settled by various already existing forums recieving us population, then dissection came immediately as our original creed was to talk about different countries which thus lead to political discussion and then to intelligent discussion. From that came social bonds naturally from who agrees with who and such and such. We finally reached a community when the random trolls, flamers and spammer were gradually expelled and thus we became evolved. Because of our different creed which is independant of roblox we developed much faster. We have acheived six ages since development. Bravo.
Language Center- Unfortunately it is largely undeveloped or maybe D1 phase depending on the size of the population at given moment. Its development has been attempted by WWCers three times in our history. First by Patsfan during the begining of the First Age, Again by Iplay during the middle of the Second Age and finally by Branch and I during the middle of the Fifth Age. All our attempts failed but I believe it has great potential if it could just get a population.
Clans & Guilds- D2 Phase and forever locked. Although acheived massive dissection they are incapable of forming social bonds due to the warring nature of their clan. It is unfortunate.
Scripters- An interesting forum. Locked in a volley between D3 and D4. They can't stay because sometimes they have social bonds and sometimes they don't. Either way despite whatever phase of development they are naturally advanced.
*Note I did not mention any of the technical ones because they are the emphasis of the LMIM syndrome and not worth wasting my time.

| Trying to classify forums into Stages and Ages isn't necessary. |

| It is necessary since we are in no ordinary forum also it is easier in the case of ages to call something an age than just list things happen over and over again. |
