I have not joined any online communities. The reason I probably haven't joined an online community is because it would just be another distraction on the computer when I am trying to do other work. I would rather meet people in real life than over online communities. I find the internet to be very public. There may be firewalls and other security measures taken to secure sites from creepy people, but there is always a way around everything. It is just the matter of finding it. It is also harder for people to lie in person. Yes people do lie in person, but they can only lie so much. Facial expressions play a huge part in communication. I would rather meet friends in person then online, but that's just me.
I would say that virtual communities can be real communities because it is a place where different people can come together with a common interest. They can chat with one another and share their ideas with one another. The difference between virtual communities and real communities is that there is no sense of physical presence of an actual being in an online community.
The benefits of being in communities is that people can socialize with one another about similar interests. When someone is in a community, they feel like they belong to something.
