People and Communities Can Grow

Community does not happen by itself.  In healthy communities everyone participates.  People contribute, share responsibilities and some agree to be servant leaders.

People join VRCities because they believe in its mission and want to benefit from its many services.  VRCities has been established so you can help grow communities that in turn help you grow.  We are all committed to creating positive experiences that foster better relationships, learning and fun.  That's life!

The Best Technology and Organization

Information technology and the Internet make it possible to take human relationships to levels never achieved before. As implied by our mission statement, VRCities is committed to harness these technologies to help create, develop and support strong communities, online and offline.

VRCities pledges to use the best available Internet technology and organizing principles to advance community.  Right now a lot of knowledge and organized effort is being used so that companies will make more money with the Web.  We believe that commerce is good because it can improve people's lives, but community and human relationships are more basic.

Strong Communities Require Volunteers, Partners and Good Leaders

Leaders are needed to make the VRCities the best communities "super-portal" of all (right now it is the only one.)

We have set up a self-organizing process to encourage participation through affiliate, associate, partnering and co-ownership programs. If you would like further information about these programs, email:

Virtual Communities and Social Networking

To undestand the VRCities mission better and get some additional, relevant background information, visit the following Wikipedia links about virtual communities and social networking.

"A virtual community or online community is a group of people that primarily or initially communicates or interacts via the Internet. The dawn of the "information age" found groups communicating electronically rather than face to face. A "Computer-mediated community" (CMC) uses social software to regulate the activities of participants. An online community such as one responsible for collaboratively producing open source software is sometimes called a development community. Significant socio-technical change has resulted from the proliferation of Internet-based social networks.[1]" Read more.

A social network is a social structure made of nodes which are generally individuals or organizations. It indicates the ways in which they are connected through various social familiarities ranging from casual acquaintance to close familial bonds. The term was first coined in 1954 by J. A. Barnes (in: Class and Committees in a Norwegian Island Parish, "Human Relations"). The maximum size of social networks tends to be around 150 people (Dunbar's number) and the average size around 124 (Hill and Dunbar, 2002). Read more.
