Network. Meet networkers.

I was sitting in the morning over a cup of coffee and memories of such a notion as “network” were found on me. Although everyone can be called differently.
For those who do not know, although there are few of them, it is a collection of users, for example, one network, forum, etc. I myself accepted a certain amount of time in this event, in my case it was a “network.” At first everything was fine, interesting, but after a certain period of time it all faded away.
And you had such moments in life? And how do you generally refer to this type of transmission time?
It seems to me that this message is addressed to a greater degree to the young population of Habr, but I also want to hear the opinion of the others.
