From this thread (http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php/topic,12117.msg523884.html#msg523884)
I sometimes wonder why people come to this site.
Don't take that the wrong way, I don't mean to disparage the site or indeed any one. I just wonder what people are seeking; what they get from the site. I like coming here mainly because there are people I like here, and I do like the 'callout' idea, free speech and all that.
But what do others get?
What did Soyleieueuieueieueiueie or whatever his name was, expect to get from this site? The site, of whose members he referred to as subhuman, or elitist, or what have you... What did he expect to gain? What do you, any of you who care to answer, expect to gain from coming to the site?
I expect free exchange of ideas, meaningless banter between friends and enemies, and the expectation that if I say something stupid, and I have, I will be called on it.
-
I just need a place to write down my most intimate thoughts.
Or to hit on hot chicks!
Depends on my mood. :zoinks:

Excellent question, GA. I wish I had a good answer.
My answer is partly the same as yours--banter, friends, all that. But also, I are teh webmonkey. :orly:

Yes, and this is why you're never allowed to leave. We've bought your soul my friend, you're screwed. ;)
I came here first to find out where the hell Soph buggered off to. :P But my main reason for being here is for the banter. I like a mix of entertainment, substance, games, and call me on my bullshit and I'll call you on yours.
Plus, I'm single so I figured I should whore myself out in new places. :zoinks: Kidding.

cg's just here for Teh Sophster 8)

I certainly notice that you can speak rather strongly, so I'd say it's working.
I come here mainly because it's a social outlet for me, and also to try and better understand human nature by observing others. I'm also trying to improve my own personality flaws too, because I do need to brush up on certain skills, as sometimes I say stupid things or don't make myself clear enough. Apologizes if I come off as an asshole at times.

Whoring yourself out here is encouraged, obviously, as are pictures illustrating said activity. :orly:

Perhaps, but my main problem was/is, confrontation.

Your kidding? :o
That's probably my number one problem, I'm bad at situations when I'm forced to confront people over something. That and I can't handle criticism too well either.

I'm married, to a woman, so if I want to stay that way, I have to handle criticism some way or another ;)
-
bwahaha....hey wait, that's not nice. :lol:
-
Yes, but who am I not being nice to? ;)
-
Your wife? :orly:
You'll be getting the couch if she finds out you implied that. :laugh:

Maybe I get criticism because I fuck things up and do stupid shit :green:

Escape.
I'm surrounded by the clueless & delusional.
Overly social, perky soccer mom's that want me to join the PTA because they feel it might "bring me out of my shell". (I like my shell and I'm happy there, thank you very much, it keeps me sane and prevents me from choking people.)
The "my daughter is a cheerleader, makes straight A's, is sooo popular, and she's going to be a pediatrician when she gets older". (Don't let me burst your bubble and tell you I saw her making out behind my garage with the little klepto that lives up three houses.)
The "my husband is the bestest guy in the whole entire world, he would never *insert the vice of your choice here*". (De-Nile is a river in Egypt, please keep "Mr. Wonderful" on his chain and out of my yard, thank you.)
And lastly the elderly gossiping bible thumpers that want me to "find God". (where did I put that damn pepper spray anyways?)

Something to do away from my crazy world

I come here pretty much for the reasons GA gave. The drama, the banter, the jokes and talking you you guys/girls are what make it fun to be here. Sure, there are times when the shit hits the fan, but we just handle it and carry on.
That's my penny-ha'penny's worth.

To Spam.

To fight, make fun of bad people, and there are some interesting stuff here I wouldn't see on other forums. I also like posting my sense of humor here. I do the same at WP in the random discussion. I made a post there about my husband being a lousy father. I never posted it here but I did at zomg. I also come here when I'm bored but when I get bored of this place I end up leaving and then come back just see what everyone has been up too.

Good question.
Came on here just now to answer a PM but overall why I stayed for so long, fuck knows.

*snicker* That's worthy of it's own thread. We need to develop our personal 12 step program. :laugh:

Are you planning to leave for good? :-\

Intensity was written about on another forum (I can't remember which) so I came here and registered. I thought if I posted and got pointlessly made fun of, then I could leave. So I posted like a dork and was still accepted generally, so I stayed. Was lucky enough to be admin for a while and now I am not by my request.
I can't really express what I come here for. I just know that I have learnt a lot and I have actually become curious about people.
-
i came here in early 07 when people were talking about this place on wp and raph gave me a link. then i joined with sophie in... june? the week we got banned from wp. posted a bit but she got banned coz she was underage so then we made zomg and i didn't really post for a good few months i think.
started posting on here regularly in september or october 07 iirc, so you guys had me from right when i fucked up :facepalm2:
-
And then you managed to, erm, unregister. :laugh:
-
yeah i remember that :laugh:
i blame milla :P
-
Yes, it's her fault.

That's the general idea. So far it's not working though.

my insightful posts and pictures of my skinny-legged dog keep you here

Obviously.

Why do you want to leave?
-
Sometimes the madhouse helps me to focus.
This addictive place has such good side-effects. :eyelash:
-
i come here coz it's the only place i get to talk to girls without my voice breaking
-
I have actually learned quite bit about socializing from here. I used to think the "what are you XXXXXXX now" threads were pointless, but I realized that's how small talk works in social situations. You start out with something simple like the weather or what you are doing, then expand until you find something in common, and expand on that. It's really helped me in socializing with people, and helped to reduce the "oh fuck what do I say next" anxiety.
-
I don't hate you.
-
To spam to my heart's content :-\
-
I don't know. Some things I do the reason is clear as day but posting on internet forums probably fucks with the same part of the brain as gambling does.
-
to spy on you all.
i don't have internet access at home anymore so i only come here when i'm really bored.
-
I don't know. Some things I do the reason is clear as day but posting on internet forums probably fucks with the same part of the brain as gambling does.
Yes, I tend to agree. I don't really know why I come here.
But I do know that I want to keep it online because obviously it has a function.

:plus: for that conclusion.

:lol: Thank god for that or else i would be fucked.
-
I've gone into a complete bi-polar dip.
I was stable early yesterday. I'm a fucking psycho mess today.
I come here to let go of my feelings, but I'm so servere in mood swings even THAT is probably not a good idea for me. Will catch up with you guys and girls when I pull out of it. Its best for both parties.
-
i dunno why i come here either
i should quit, but i dunno if i can

I'm similar. There are many people I encounter in real life whose carefully-constructed personae I would love to shatter with a well-placed kick, but can't for a variety of reasons, including having to continue to live in the same general area as them for an indefinite period of time.
Also, this is a good place to waste time while procrastinating about doing more useful activities.
-
I come here because it's home. :heart:
Also, the smilies. I come here for the smilies. :trollface:
-
Because it's here.
-
I came here for a reason, but now I think I've just become addicted to the weird. :hahaha:
-
Because I have taken a few wrong turns in my life and as a result this is one of my most consistent natural support systems (if not my most consistent). :P

This is the support system with the best sense of wicked humour too.

2016 is a clusterfuck so far, and I am currently not functional enough to do much else.
