I met the guy who introduced me to my husband on here so I guess it has changed my life.

I stay for my current friends.

I posted for years before realizing that some very close friends were posting regularly.

This site really is a place to find out pretty much anything.

I was basically banned from another site. Next year I will celebrate my 20th anniversary. I plan to have a party and to invite all of you. There will be finger foods, cocaine, and prostitutes.

Almost at 2 decades, I showed up to get info on my hometown when Katrina hit. Left for a few years and came back because the food board is really good to get recipes and some of the other boards have good info too.

I remember the original Southdowns thread. I am still here because as others have posted, you get it all here. News, Sports, entertainment, etc.

Force of habit but I guess kind of an addiction too. Looking for that something new. After 2 decades you’ve seen most things here posted before. It’s odd too cuz I hate reading most anything else.

Because I enjoy it. There is a great diversity of opinion which does not bother me I enjoy the debate and discussion. And a lot of stuff here just makes me laugh.

Next month makes 15 years. Geez.

Has it changed my life, yes. Met some of my best friends from this website.

Am I addicted? Probably. At this point it's just part of my rotation of things I check all the time and it's always up.

What keeps me coming back? It's like a train wreck I can't look away from, and I like bs'ing in the the lunch threads while I'm slow at work.

Found it at some point during the 03 season while scouring the internet for anything BCS related.

I rarely read The Rant anymore, rarely post , but this is my Facebook and I'm here every day. BY FAR, the best message board I've ever seen, in terms of design and ease of use, and the best news aggregator by a long shot.

quote:

why are you still here?

Short answer is I'm here because it's fun to dick around on here and I have downtime at work where I can participate. It's also where I come to get my news and information for the most part.
quote:

Has this place changed your life?

Well I wouldn't have met my wife if not for this site, as well as lots of people I consider friends too. So for me, definitely.
quote:

Are you addicted?

I'm not sure addicted is the right word, but I suspect I am to a degree. It's more of just habit at this point, and like I said I'd rather get my news and info from here than anywhere else.
quote:

What keeps you coming back every day?

You idiots and killing time at work or home.
quote:

Is this Facebook for baws who don't want any other social media presence?

I do have FB, but that's really the only social media I use.
quote:

Is the need to have people respond to you feeding your ego?

Not really ego, but I do like getting the notification that someone has responded to my posts.


All in all, this is a pretty cool place to hang online. I did enjoy it more when it was much smaller and we used to have regular OTGTs, OT bowling nights, etc. And I've met people ranging from close friends (including my wife) to people I don't care for, and everything in between. And even though I feud with some people here (like fr33, for example), most of that shite is in jest and I don't truly hate or dislike anybody from here really (except for Orko). But all in all I enjoy mixing it up with you assholes around here. It's not a bad way to kill time and shoot the shite.
