With Aileen I think that the hip notion of community is overused and that we should find other terms also because the term community, at least in the US, is instrumentalized by this government to departmentalize groups of citizens to make them more managable.
Would not you agree that most "online communities" are imagined ones? Is a narrative net.art piece a realistic way to connect people? Community grouped around which notion? Could you give a few examples of pieces of web-based art that really managed to create a sustaionable community?

To bring people together, to interconnect them, is indeed a wonderful and worthwhile endeavor online and off. But I don't see the art context as the best format for the building of community. Time and again, artists like to flatter themselves by presenting their projects in a way that seems like they managed this worthy goal of community organization. Please correct me by giving a few successful examples.
