How did you come to KYM?

I found it while Google searching images of Pepe the frog. I've been lurking the comments and forums on and off since March and decided to actually join in myself the week before last.

Why did you join?
Do you regret joining?
Will I regret joining?

I think I said in a previous thread similar to this that I started by lurking around a couple of the image galleries and reading the comment on the deadpooled articles (because those used to be hilarious). Then I actually made an account to weight in on gamergate when it started (back before it got to be nothing but a circlejerk) and eventually I migrated mostly to the forums.

I found the site around 2011-2012, but I didn't join until New Years Eve of 2012 to upload this image. I did nothing but comment and upload images, but I didn't post in the forums for, like, 15 months (?) because I saw it as a waste of time. It wasn't until I wanted to get involved more in the community that I started
posting in the forums and join the IRC, which was around October 2014. I still have a good feeling about this site.

I also came here by finding a meme that I need, sadly, I can't remember which one was, I joined on august 2013 for commenting purposes, then I forgot to use it, but then I upload my first image and began to be more active in commenting, but sometimes I posted courtney images, and other types. I don't regret joining KYM, because I find great people like Triple zed , RandomMan ,Kotor , PaperLucario , and others who made me laugh and feel.

I heard about the site in 2011 and checked it out from time to time, but never cared too much for it. Made an account in 2013 to comment on a few images, and eventually became friends with one of the older moderators, which convinced me to stay a bit longer. Three months later I discovered the forums and it pretty much went uphill from there.
Honestly, when I first joined, I didn't expect to stay on this site for more than a month.

I'm going to be perfectly honest right here:

I joined in early 2014 and I started at Cringeworthy, being salty.
Then I started posting in Pokemon gallery.

Everything changed when I joined IRC.

I don't regret joining KYM, neither I will (probably)

Also KYM introduced me to the greatness that is Jojo and KLK.

I originally was searching for porn (hentai actually) and one of the links was to the Hentai Quotes entry, which in turn lead me to the gallery. And I thought to myself "Oh man this is great!" so I immediately sign up just so I can upload my images as well.
Its been one year to date I sign up, and I have to say…why am I still here?

i knew about the site since 2010 i don't remember what i was searching but since then i would look only the frontage occasionally until June of 2014 that i started doing it every day and then i discoverd the forums and i got an account in 2015 to comment

I'll be perfectly honest, what do I have to lose?

I lurked around here for quite awhile before actually making an account. I mostly frequented the popular galleries like Pokemon, Tumblr, Reactions, etc., and eventually found the Pokemon RPers that used to comment on images and such. I thought it was pretty neat that they did that, having always been a fan of things like D&D and other roleplaying games. I decided I wanted to make an account half to do things like comment and post images, and half to join them. So I did, and we've been friends ever since.

Do I regret it? Well, I've had a lot of very good and very bad experiences with this site, so I'd say it's a mixed bag. Though, I only decided to come back for a bit yesterday after a month or two of being dead, so things might be different now, who knows.

Will you regret it? Make some friends and you'll probably be fine, but I'm not a fortune teller.

"Why did you join?"
I forgot, maybe I came from an unknown site named Memebase, but the details are lost from the winds of dank maymays.

"Do you regret joining?"
>Regretting memes

"Will I regret joining?"
YOU. WILL. DIE!

In 2011 I was a lurker, finding whatever I could find about rage faces/comics. The following year I discovered that this site had an entry for MLP and I was like, "why the hell not?" and boom!, another account was created. I have no regrets.

I joined KYM when I was 12 in 2011, 'cause I thought memes were cool and stuff. Also, to make this entry, which I'm surprised wasn't deadpooled. I've met some really cool people here though so that's really good.

Brother told me about KYM. And since2007 when memes were supreme, got interested in the site. Started out just reading up on certain memes and laughing at the trending images. Finally made an account, 3 years ago, to comment on pictures and entries. Instead of that, I ended up on the forums, uploading an ass ton of pics, videos, helping out with two entries, made friends with an admin, made friends with the mods, and got to know some weird users.

Like to give this site a lot of shit, but it got me into tumblr. Which is both a good and bad thing. I made some friends on this site. Seen drama. Was in drama. But, no matter how much this site changes, new users come and old leave, I'll still be here posting out of boredom. Occasionally, uploading images.

I was looking for funny images and gifs about Smash Bros and Pokemon and the funniest ones always sent me to this site, so I eventually decided to look deeper in KYM out of interest and browsed through more image galleries and articles and decided to join, a few months later.

I don't regret anything, I met many great users since then.

Drifted from Cheezburger about 2013. Lurked a bit around image galleries and entries, then joined a few months ago when I found out Lisa (yes that one) had an account. I thought because of being on opposite sides of the political spectrum that I could debate with her (over the Internet of all places). Then it simply turned into participating in the forum games and commenting on entries I like. Then I discovered the hell that is the IRC.

Why did you join?

Well, when I was 12 or something, I really liked Rage Comics (note that it was 2010). Eventually, because of that interest, I found out what memes are I was into stuff like Cheezburger, 9GAG and this site. After 4 years of lurking, I decided "Fuck it, why not join the site? Maybe I could make and edit a few entries (because some of the entries looked like shit)." Another reason is because I got sick of 9GAG and Cheezbuger, both of the sites aren't as good as I thought they were.

Do you regret joining?

Sometimes, I don't really regret joining. I get to know and talk to a bunch of people I can relate to, make stuff for the site, and making entries that help people know what a meme/subculture/event/whatever the hell this site contains is. Aaaaand there's other times that I regret joining this site (don't ask).

Will I regret joining?

Depends:

It'll be a while until you get used to how the site and the community works. If you enjoy your stay here, you probably won't regret it. Also, there's all kinds of crazy shit happening here (good & bad, fun & not-so-fun), so you won't really have a boring time.

I believe I stumbled around KYM around the time Doge was absolutely bloody everywhere. I just lurked the comments of various entries (FNAF when it came around, Pokemon, and even Gamergate for a short period of time.) and then I eventually joined to contribute my shitty opinions. And then I found the forums and basically I overall just spend my time on there as of now.

I don't really regret joining, I actually found some really cool people and I talk to them really frequently. I doubt you will regret joining as long as you get a group of friends and don't mind the shitstorms that happen on this site all of the time every now and then.

Found it by searching Gary Oak of all things. Got really interested, but it took me two years of lurking before I made an account. I was a very anxious kid back then.

Heard of the concept because of the episodes (rip) and got to the site when it was linked at Smosh and Cheezburger. Made an account simply to upload images to the Expand Dong gallery.

It was the dark times of my sophomore year in high school (possibly freshman but how the fuck should I know). I was browsing after our school banned us from playing games (it was a Christian school after all) so naturally I found a Christian memesite to help me set up a heretical cult that almost killed the userbase and successfully put all the shit that KYM produces under one banner.

Do I regret this? Yes.

actually i love all of you

Will you regret joining? Most definitely.

Found this place from funny images from google searches and found the site for the first time when that one black guy who got schmoyoho'd said he wasn't gay or something (Either that or the Duck Dynasty gay controversy). Made an account when a certain something that won't stop trending came up.

I kind of regret joining I guess. My internet footprint has increased dramatically and there's nothing much I can do to hide that stuff. But hey, memes are great.

You'll probably regret joining.

I was chasing the that chubby bubbles girl one day and ended up here. Lurked for months before making my account. 4 years later this site has made me gay and an SJW. Thank you KYM for making me check my privilege every day.

Joined for the lulz
regret every minute of it
yes, yes you will

I found this site years ago back when Slenderman was a huge craze.

I lurked for a bit but then decided to make an account so I can join in on the discussions that partake here (except for the Riff-Raff forums, I'm staying away from that).

I most certainly do not regret joining. I've learned so many things about various internet phenomena. I've met a lot of nice people here. I actually started watching anime because of this site. I also really enjoy seeing all the sexy fanart of various things I like and the comments are hilarious. Generally this is a very nice community in my experience.

I just started recently contributing more to this site besides commenting. It gives me something to do when I'm bored and I feel good doing it. I didn't even really pay the forums any mind before but I like coming here on occasion because there are people here that aren't on other parts of KYM.

I did a Google search for "the best place to find shit posts" and KYM was the first result. Jk, I found this site via the old YouTube videos that KYM used to make. Back when it was owned by…Rocketboom? I think that's what it was called.

Pretty much what everyone else did. I found an old meme in like 9th grade (can't remember which, some classic like weegee or troll face) and kept finding them, liked the articles, but then I scrolled down to the comments and just thought they were gold and wanted to participate. I did a little bit and mostly lurked while visiting other sites (at the time it was yahoo answers for me). I then got more into kym after being driven off yahoo by nazi mods and found the forums through a link to the textile guide I think. That really got me hooked, at the time I was emperor ing I think. Then after a long long time I found the irc, thought it was dumb at first but then came back out of peer pressure, sheer will, and boredom and have been even more hooked ever since.

And no regret at all. Joining might have been a coincidence or a mistake but that was the best mistake of my life. Best site I've ever been to with the closest and coolest community, hilarious images, internet culture and news, it's just perfect for me. No irony here. I'll probably be staying for years to come too so don't think you're getting rid of me soon.

I lurked around this site when slenderman was a thing, reading other creepypasta entries as well as rage comic entries I'm ashamed to admit i also read the advise animals as well. I didn't make an account until my good friend, Sargeant Arch Dornan, asked me too.
