1) I find it pretty entertaining at times. 2) Because I typed www.hipforums.com in the upper bar of my internet browser.
A kid in the Rainbow Family turned me onto the forums so that we could keep in touch after I gave up traveling to take on a at home family life. I guess Im mainly still here since I was chosen to moderate the psychedelic forums, and to stay in touch with the friends I've made on here. Plus all of our poetry
I was doing an essay for school on the whole hippie movement and I encountered this site. I used to forget about and come back when I was bored, but was never really a super active member. It took me over three years since '04 to get to a 1000 posts, Now it has only taken me a little over a year to get to 6000 , I've met a lot of cool people here, learned a lot about a lot things, but with all honesty the real reason why Im here is because is easy entertainment for a bored mind. I was thinking about this recently, actually on Friday night. John made me think about without him knowing, but I've been using this an as escape for my inactivity and lack of productivity and here I am again
this community is the best ive been a part of. i love it i found hip while i was searchin for rc trip reports and have been around pretty much everyday lol. jus cant seem to stay away!
I was searching for something, I don't remember what it was 5 years ago. I am still here because I haven't left yet.
I was looking for drug information! and I am still here because I can't find anything better to do sometimes.
Hip is only the second forum I have ever been apart of, The first was called spoony-experiment. The moderators there would liberally change certain things you would post if the felt it was anything but exactly what they wanted to express, Mind you it was a forum dedicated to HORROR movies and they would still edit your post's if you were to make a statement they didn't agree with. Very infuriating. So I looked for a site that would never do such a thing. I think I may have found it thanks hip-forums!
I don't remember how I came about these forums, it was a long time ago so I don't remember... And I don't know why I am still here, I ask myself that same question...
One early Saturday morning four years ago I was browsing the web looking for information about herbs. Then I found the hip galleries and was turned on to that. Halloweenriot was the one who suggested I hang out in Random Thoughts. It's basically the only forum I do hang out in. Four years later I'm still here.
I was googling hippy friendly places and I came across this: http://www.hippy.com/review-1.html I navigated around until I found the forums part of the site. I really liked the idea of free speech and all of that. Why am I still here? I get bored.
I was looking up patterns for sewing apron shirts. Still here to pass time and because I have made many real life friendships out of here.
Year 9 we were doing projects in History. I chose to do music. I went to do the 60's and 70's. Hippy.com came up as the first site. Unfortunately it was blocked from school. So I went home and looked at it on my laptop. Saw the link for a forum. And yeah. Im still here because I like it. And.. I have no life.
