I'm involved in a hobby that is very specialized and even in my large city the community is very small and tight knit. Outside of work and family most of my friends are in this hobby. I had a falling out with a "leader" in the community, and I can't seem to get over it.

I agreed to take a teaching job at certain community college, and now, just two weeks away from the beginning of the semester, it looks like a much better job is about to come through for me. What are the ethical considerations of backing out?

For a long time now I've been aching to feel part of a larger community. Have you ever felt this way? How did you handle it? Have you ever built or been a part of a tight-knit social circle or community that lasted?

I have never played D&D before, but last week's
Community looked super fun and interesting (not to mention, what a great episode) I've hit up some friends who used to play and there's some interest about getting a game going. But I literally know nothing, and don't know if I'm going to like it. How do I proceed?

Say you run a website that has a relatively self-maintaining and friendly (if tough and playful) community of commenters. How do you best manage a new commenter who shows up and clearly enjoys stinking up the room?

Are there any good online communities that deal with relationship issues, specifically a seemingly inevitable (and necessary) divorce with young kids involved? I'm looking for an intelligent, adult dominated place (like here) where I can kvetch, commiserate, and maybe get a little non-worthless outside perspective on my situation. I'm a guy if that makes a difference, but ideally I'd like to find a community that is not gender-specific. Thanks.
