VIRTUAL CULTURE

A virtual culture is a community of people sharing common interests, ideas, and feelings over the Internet or other collaborative networks. A possible inventor of this term and one of its first proponents was Howard Rheingold, who created one of the first major Internet communities, called "The Well." In his book, The Virtual Community, Rheingold defines virtual communities as social aggregations that emerge from the Internet when enough people carry on public discussions long enough and with sufficient human feeling to form webs of personal relationships in cyberspace.

A virtual culture is known as any group of people who use Internet technologies to communicate with each other. Depending on whether one takes a social perspective or a technology perspective, online communities tend to be named by the activity and people they serve or the technology that supports them. For example the same community might be called a 'breast cancer patient support community' and a Teacher board community. Moreover, virtual communities are defined as collectivities of people who share a common experience, interest, or conviction; who experience a positive regard for other members; and who contribute to member welfare and collective welfare (Putnam, 2000 ).

The main goal of our rules is creating appropriate conditions for residents of virtual community - Virtual World during their in-world experience. The satisfaction of the user is the one of the most important factor for us and we hope that such attitude is the one that can make our Community grow. The most important rule is: Each Resident of our Community should always remember to respect others in each aspect of activity in our Virtual Reality. That should be understood in a common way, in same way like each human should respect other human and expect analogous respect from others.

The following attitude allows our Residents for intuitive understanding of principles that everyone follows (not even explicitly spoken).
