Its social yes, I'm not really sure its so much with the networking.
I just see forums as different that sites like facebook myspace and the others. As the interaction is more about the topic of the forum, than the connections people make. The action on profiles here is secondary to the action of the topic discussions. TFS is just more varied in the subjects as it has a little bit of everything, that some forums that are about one or two subjects.
Relationships and connections still form, its just not the point.
You can get by just fine at TFS by never updating your profile, never adding friends, personal information, pictures or blogs (journals).
That (which I've bolded) is exactly what's so appealing to me. I hate having to mess with stuff like that. People get to know me just fine (I think) without having to read my background or see pictures of things that I like. It's almost like talking to people in person...you don't go around and hand out a pamphlet listing all of your 'favorites' and your resume... People have to work for their information.
Now, of course, I've probably just made a case for why it
isn't a social networking site.
I'd have to say that it is one, even though that's not it's primary function.
