The Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link, known as The WELL, is the oldest virtual community in continuous operation. As of June 2012, it had 2,693 members and was in danger of shutting down.[2] The members banded together and purchased The Well. It is best known for its Internet forums, but also provides email, shell accounts, and web pages. The discussion and topics on The WELL range from deeply serious to trivial, depending on the nature and interests of the participants.[3]
