More than a one dimensional community.

Like Panache,...

I have never really been interested in joining an online before...

however, this is the dimension (all things kilt-related) that we all have in common. There is the natural tendency to "shop around once we're inside the store." That's the reason for the ocassional meeting between individuals and the existence of local kilt nights. Perhaps larger XMarks clan gatherings could be planned for the various highland games put on annually (by time zone, or country, or ???)

UmAnOnion's "20 Questions" post was a start, as I saw it, toward exposing ourselves (in a nice way) to the others on the board, but it's limited to a sequential read. Try FRAPPR, or something similar. The XMarks FRAPPR group allows you to build a circle of friends, blog your thoughts, post your pictures (even not kilt-related pics), etc. With an ADMIN, sub-groups of XMarks could be set up along whatever dimensions desired.

By and large, I'm happy with this forum the way it is.

My point was the one dimensional view we get of each other here.

Agreed, but isn't that a limitation of the 'net itself, as opposed to the board? With all the kilt nights and travelling around going on, I think many have had the opportunity to meet face-to-face. Alas, for me, unless everybody travels here (and I'm trying ), there won't be any kilt nights in PEI.
