Forums / Discussion / General

In this thread, you explain to others why you use the forums and why are you so compelled to use them.

For me, I actually found a website where I can relate to users on some different level that isn't my normal everyday life. I guess it's my split personality because if I said this shit IRL people would think I'm insane… And I also like how they are set up. Many lulz and friendships have been made. I'm just happy to have found this site and be a member. That is all.

To escape.

To escape the horrors of reality and all that is wrong with the world.

To escape the idea that I'm just a common person and that I won't make any difference in the world.

To escape all responsibility, if only for a short while.

To escape depression, anxiety, and the fear that I don't matter.

To escape all of my faults.

To escape my past.

To escape disappointing those around me.

To escape myself.

Because the forums are fun?

I don't always agree with Kalmo. But when I do, he has a good point.

Kalmo, you've just made me depressed. I'll go cheer myself up and come back with an explanation for my forum usage in a bit.

For reason's Kalmo explained. n_n;;

I'm gonna have to say the same reasons as you.

Because I am bored. That is all.

i have nowhere else to go

Because you people treat me better than anyone I know else-where.

@Kalmo: You wanna borrow my Bible?

I came here to say desu and research memes and I'm all out of memes.

I'd rather not. It's not so much that I need God in my life, since I already do.

You can't expect him to do everything.

Example: You're learning to ride a bike and your parent is holding the bike to make sure you don't fall. Then you start getting the hang of it. Then what does your parent do? They let go, for you to fall and get back up on your own.

I know I'm being a tad dramatic, but it feels better to say the reasons why you do things completely and free yourself from distress.

Because I'm bored, I like forums, and these forums are pretty nice.

I apologize. There are so few conservative Christians in my life.

I, personally, have a rather fatalistic view on God, which would clearly not help the case at hand.

Dane said it best before he left: "This is the best forum on the internet."
I think we have a great community which reaps the benefits of being an internet reference site, in that most are well informed, intelligent people.

I also enjoy memes.

So, anyway, I participate in the forums because they're fun! Plus, KYM is the only website that I socialize on, on the internet, besides Failbook.

I have no idea why, I hate you all.

Jk lol, l love you guys.

Why did I first start? I'm not exactly sure. I most likely wanted to make a name for myself because I was a huge attention whore. Wait, why am I saying "was"? I'm still a huge attention whore. Now I've made some friends here, so I like talking to them.

To escape all those Farmville invitation on facebook.
And because this forum and you guys are fun,that's why!

To be there, in here, with all of you guys, there is nothing much better then that! (for me)

I think the size of our community makes it more fun, since it tends to be small.

Story of my life.

Me too dude.

I'm just bored and you guys are pretty cool…

The amount of love on this site is making me cry like a little bitch…

I come to this forum every time I hear someone beat the Elite Four.

No, seriously, I can't leave. No legs, flat surface. I can't even roll away.

Because this site and the people who post on this site are awesome ^^

Because this is as high up in society as I have gotten so far.

I came for the memes and stayed for the lulz.

I'm the same as MDF… I stayed because this forum is the only one I've ever actually enjoyed. Evar.

oh, and inb4 'Because Robots'…

To be honest, I came for ponies. Not gonna lie. I post on that thread the most.
 
But Fridge Logic has the reason why I started to post elsewhere:

I think we have a great community which reaps the benefits of being an internet reference site, in that most are well informed, intelligent people.

You're interesting people to listen to/read from. I wanted in. And so I started using my 2 year old account in earnest.

I don't.

I have nothing better to do… I feel like I can't leave for some reason.

I first started because I didn't have a way to talk to my internet-loving irl friends anymore due to a school change, then I decided that the friends I was making here were cool and I learned that you don't need friends irl to be happy. And so I spend time here and in the irc.

I came for da lulz. I stayed for the discusions.
I get hooked in just to see what's going to happen next.

Ahem…

Because it's awesome here.

I don't really participate all that much anymore. But I used to because I loved talking to everyone, simple as that.
WHEN THE IRC WASN'T ENOUGH.

Because I wa-
oh wait, I actually don't. I was just searching for something and stumbled upon this thread

OH WAIT, I ACTUALLY DID
