I was just randomly thinking about how English language is probably very confusing.
Here are some forum related examples:
I am on a forum (Hack Forums)
I am in the Lounge forum
I am on a forum in a forum
I am on Hack Forums, in The Lounge.
I am in Hack Forums, on The Lounge.
I am in a forum on a forum
I am in The Lounge on Hack Forums
I am on a forum called Hack Forums in a forum called The Lounge.
You can say it the opposite way, but it sounds weirder:
I am in a forum called Hack Forums on a forum called The Lounge.
To beat this dead horse some more:
I am on a website, on a page
I am in a website, in a page
I am in a website on a page
I am on a website in a page
For ESL users - how hard was it to learn the different ways of saying the same thing?

I've been using English more than my native language for about 15 years now and I still confuse a lot of words.
Not to meantion I learned by doing so if I were to take some English language test, I'd most likely fail miserably as I lack basic understanding of the little inticacies of the it. I'm like a sorcerer of English, I cast my spells using my charisma instead of intelligence. (OK that came out wrong)

You can be in or on the Internet, I think it reflects our mind's capability of being able to focus within a Rabbit Hole of technological abstractions within physical technologically advanced hardware.
We are in and we are on the Internet.
Online, Internet.
On, In.
If you are online, you are on the internet.
When I see you online, you're in the internet.
You're on the internet, in the internet.
You are in the internet, on the internet.
