There are LOTS of forums online where sports junkies and gun enthusiasts and knitting freaks can discuss those passions with other like-minded people and probably have more run doing it.

Re: Geek Culture
Unexpectedly, I feel vindicated. In the sense that lately I've been feeling like I have been deprived of a word which I can use to concisely and mostly unambiguously refer to this basket of topics, because more and more people started telling me that even jocky and snobby stuff can be covered by the words 'geeky' and 'nerdy'. So personally I'm finding this reining in of the scope of the term heartwarming.

In the case of Geek Culture, we should limit ourselves to the older adjective meaning of the word, not the newer verb meaning. Clear as mud, everyone? XD
