Full Version: Why do YOU still post here?

Usurper
Yes, YOU. For the last month or so, the boards look like a bunch of angst-filled young adults governed by moderators who use this as an outlet for their need to be in control. Every popular topic I've stumbled upon turns into heated debate. The only way to get a good topic going is to be controversial, or say something borderline offensive with regards to religion, politics, or YOUR personal opinions.

So...what keeps you here? I'm certainly going to take a break before I hurt your feelings again. smile.gif
Akuma
You never hurt my feelings.

The reason I stay is to watch people like YOU post.

Sweet. I've had more than my share of personal messages telling me out fucked up I am.

And I'm glad I can entertain someone else. smile.gif

Because I'm still clinging to the memories of this board being really active/fun and don't want to admit that it's glory days are long over.

You can pretty much think the mods, and trolls like Lance.

I'm such a troll...I'm like...the anti-troll.

Nah it's much more than that. I'd say the biggest reason is our userbase plummeted and a lot of vets left.
Usurper
What vets left? The only one that comes to my mind is...Anomaly.

And Justin.
Akuma
LOTS. Dug, FC, WM, Teal the list goes on. It's life.
Mormegil
Yes, lots. If you change your mind you can come back in three days.

I'm still here, homes.
The JMan
boredom and procrastination
18 With a Bullet
the sheer fact that i annoy people.
FAGBALLS420
I never really took issue with Usurper, either.

I post here because a bunch of the users I like still do. I also want to make sure that those people come to Summer Camp 08. These people include, but are not limited to, Morm, Legendary, Nickolay, Feernie, Joff, and Kefka. I'll also be nagging other users that don't post anymore, like Zero. Those people alone will more than double the size of the group that went this year, and it will be amazing.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I miss the glory days, and even the days where posting ^^^^^^^^^^^s would get one warned.

boredom
Dev
every now and then i get bored and then i remember this place still exists.
i wish more people still cared about it.
Gir
I don't really, I do stop by and read what's going on, though.
I have almost completely moved over to SA and LL.
PF the Kitsune
I don't post.

I lurk.
PA.
It's entertaining from time to time and I actually recognize all the other posters unlike SA.
Kefka
I kinda just browse the lounge and end up closing it, then look around on the music board a bit... then maybe hit up the sex/drugs boards but I get bored within a minute.

I don't think you actually hurt anyone's feelings, it's just your pompous/self-righteous/holier-than-thou attitude that's annoying as all hell. It seems to me like all you set out to do is antagonize people and rather than actually offending anyone you just amuse a select few and annoy the rest. With a neutral section, I'm sure. I'd rather have slow boards with okay topics than a fast moving board with nothing but annoying trolls. :/ I'd go to LL if I wanted that.
Cody
boredom mostly.

Trogdor the Burninator
because Taped didn't buy me an SA account yet, and to make fun of people
Svyatogornyj
Why not? I don't take the Internet seriously, maybe that's it.
The Batman
Eh, I like the small community. It's nice to be a part of something, even if there is a vocal part of it that for some reason seems to hate me.
Master Bob
I like being a member of a community where i actually know some history about it.

It's not exactly individual people that I'm missing, it's the collective whole of quality posters and knowing that there would be a good amount of real discussion in most topics I jumped into.

I also really wish we had an archive of all of the old posts dating all the way back to the beginning, all of those hackings/switching host sites sucked. 404 was such a huge resource for learning about computers and the internet for me, I wish there was still a record of that I could go back through and read for kicks.

I don't know, it feels odd not posting here. I've been here since September '03, and I figure that as long as there's nothing stopping me from coming here (place completely dies, I get bored, etc.) I'll keep posting in some capacity.
black label
because i don't want to take the time, and will probably will never again be able take the time, to get to know an online community so well

it's nice to be part of a small community and know what the shit people are talking about when someone brings up something from the past

I don't post as much because life has started to take me away from the Internet. That said I still like to come here and see what everyone is up to. I like the people here. smile.gif

This is so very true. I spent so much time with you guys in the early days (man I loved making those crappy comics) and I doubt I could do that again.
