Why are you here?

[intpz]

Age thread... So many have abandoned this place. Or perhaps were banned? Maybe some have died: committed suicide, were beaten to death for being different, got kicked in the ass so hard by their boss for not being social that they flew off of a 9 story building, were hit by a truck transporting full portable toilets... Who knows, who cares.

This question is especially fit for old-timers.

1. Why are you still here?
2. What would make you leave this place?
3. Do you use any other forums?
4. If the previous is true, what would make you leave those forums?

P.S. Looking for serious answers.

1. Why are you still here? Because others talk and I learn, and I talk and others listen.
2. What would make you leave this place? Anything which impedes the former. Especially stupidly combative posters.
3. Do you use any other forums? Presently no.
4. If the previous is true, what would make you leave those forums?

I am here because I like to stalk Architect. He is just so smart!

 

[DeadonDreaming]

I am here because I like to stalk Architect. He is just so smart!

Me too!

 

[ProxyAmenRa]

Me too!

Architect is the glue which holds the forum together. ^_^

I was looking for serious answers.

He holds my heart together, my little precious heart

INTP forum is a staple of time-wasting activities. I open it so I can be induced to think over my priorities and wonder where my time has gone, and why I've blown it on such futility.

Well, and there's nice people here too, and it's a reflective experience and all.

To match the seriousness of the opening paragraph?

Why are you still here?

Some pretty cool posters.
Laid-back atmosphere (aside from the Pod'Lair aliens)
Kind of goofy N types, along with a few hardcore T's... makes the place interesting.
haven't yet paid off my over-extended credit karma line of depravity

What would make you leave this place?
Banstick.
Langoliers, err, mean nasty trolls chewing up the upholstery.
Lack of engagement by other members
500 million billion dollars!!! ... well, okay, maybe $500.

Do you use any other forums?
Of course.
(and I always leave them wanting more, after)

If the previous is true, what would make you leave those forums?
Boyfriend coming home, don't want to get caught.
Again, money bribes (possibly).
Boredom.
Proliferation of bread-and-butter pickles.
Extortion.

I'm too lazy to explore the internet, searching through the mountains of garbage to find another halfway decent forum just does not seem like a promising investment of time. I accidentally found this forum and just hung around to get some of my ideas out of my head and into someone else before I die.

Sometimes a member actually makes me think, although thought-provoking comments are relatively rare. I enjoy thinking.

I am also heavily invested in facebook, but until I had accumulated 200 friends it was rather slow there. I exhibit a different side of my personality on facebook using my given name, some of my friends have known me for nearly 50 years and would not be fooled like the INTPians have been...
(Oops, did I mean to say that?)

What would make me leave?

Death, Taxes, Banning, Finding an appreciative audience elsewhere...

Thats what my stalkers say. The rest of them, meh

I'm too lazy to explore the internet...

Being too lazy for the internet is like being too tired to sleep.

I'm your favorite stalker.

Being too lazy for the internet is like being too tired to sleep.

I agree.

1. Why are you still here?
2. What would make you leave this place?
3. Do you use any other forums?
4. If the previous is true, what would make you leave those forums?

1. It's a good creative writing outlet, mostly. It's free in both senses of the word.

2. Oppressive administrator control over being forced to conform to 'INTP' stereotypes. Witch-hunts, mass bannings related to same. Actually, any aspect of oppressive management would send me packing in disgust.

3. Still maintain memberships, but no longer active, due to leaving in disgust from too much #2, in both senses of the term (my response above and SHIT).

4. The same things that would make me leave this one. See #2 above.

I suppose I'm in denial that I am 'here' even.. 117th post or so and I'm still in the same confused state of mind.

 

[eagor]

1. facebook sucks and i grew out of 4chan so this is my home on the internet (also admittedly...architect)

2. i don't know i'll tell you when it happens...

3. no

 

[7even]

Hey intpz, why are you here?

Ha, wait, you're not. You're banned! HAHAHAHA.

...Sorry, just had to be done.

 

[eagor]

Hey intpz, why are you here?

...Sorry, just had to be done.

when did that happen?

 

[PhoenixRising]

1. Why are you still here? Because I actually like talking to people on here. There are even a couple of people on here that actually "get" me. It's a good place to get the answers to my questions as well.
2. What would make you leave this place? If it becomes like most other forums, plagued with conversations about reality TV, pop stars or gossip.
3. Do you use any other forums? Yeah, not as much as this one though.
4. If the previous is true, what would make you leave those forums? Same as what would make me leave this one.

 

[7even]

when did that happen?

Few days ago, I think. Says it under his name anyhow.

 

[pjoa09]

when did that happen?

LOL

There is a thread by fukyo.


One answer to the banned OP:

Need some people to relate to.

My general expression in daily life to others is 'wut,y?the fuk?'

This reminds me of people who post on the wall of a dead persons' facebook.
