why did you join? do you feel more like yourself, less like yourself, or like yourself when you're here? are we ever not ourselves...? what do online forums mean to you? what do you take from them? (silly maybe to some, but i'm easily intrigued. )
I joined back in February '05 shortly after my boyfriend and I broke up. I was just looking for a place to flirt and have fun, and ended up staying. I'm probably much more genuine here than in any of my real life.
I forgot I think I wanted a group of people I could stalk. I am nothing like my off-line self here. In real life I am quiet and reserved actually believe it or not "nice".
long story I was looking for info on Hg2g found digihitch.com was there for awhile, got linked to here, stayed was banned, came back a year later.
I had gotten bored with all the standard drugs and I was trying to find exotic ways to get smashed at 18. 5-MEO DIPT was a chemical I was looking into, and it brought me here. Now I've grown passed drugs all together, but I enjoy the interactions I have with a few people here. I grow fond of people easily.
i originally stumbled across this place randomly and joined because i saw something that i felt i just had to respond to. i rejoined after the '04 dealy because i was drunk and bored, and thought it sounded like fun. i can be varying degrees of myself on here, depending on my mood. i never really stray that far from reality though, except when i'm [obviously to most people] joking. online forums mean various things. this is the only one i frequent, because it's the only one i've found that is actually fun to post in, and the only one where i actually took the time to get to know the other posters. but there are also more specific forums out there that i have read through in order to find information, more often than not about video games. what do i take from them? whatever i can steal when nobody's looking.
i first joined when i was 16. ive had different user names since then. ive gotten to know a small amount of good people on here. i dont take this place as seriously as i did when i was younger but its good fun. ive always been jokester
Am I the only one who was searching for hippies? I was doing a research project on the '60s in '04. I found this place really funny... Then I ended up coming back in '07. I signed up and didn't really hang around. Then I returned a few months ago and hope I have become somewhat recognizable. I love it here. I wish we could meet up one day and have a huge orgy :biggrin:
I joined back in 04' because the BET message boards turned faggot and started to ban the white supremacists Hotwater
The mommy parenting boards I usually trolled had lost their appeal and a friend of mine (who had started search out forums for herself) directed me to this place. She never posted and I stayed. Still not sure why. This place has a whole different vibe than other boards. Um, I don't know if I feel more or less like "myself" here.. I do think I communicate more (perhaps better?) on message board than I do in my real somewhat introverted life. It's a good place to have actual adult convo, instead of just with someone who wants me to make stuffed animals talk all day.
