Why do I keep coming back to NPF?

[walkertexasdruid]

I do not know. I mean the original reason I joined was because I liked 8-Bit Theater so much, but that has been over for a long time. Most of the stuff that is talked about is boring, most of the stuff that I like is either dismissed or lampooned by the forum. Maybe it is my hope that someone might agree with what I say from time to time, I do not know. I guess in some ways I can relate with most of the regular members, even if I do not always agree with them. Maybe the rest of you can help, why do we keep coming back to a place that is almost never that satisfying to visit?

I swear to god this thread stays on-topic and gender indifferent or stab time.

[synkr0nized]

I hope the thread tag is genuine. 'cause if not, there's the door.



e: Oh no, was I supposed to, like, foster the joke or something?

In my own case, its the interesting people & discussion topics. Admittedly, I don't pipe up nearly as much as I used too, or actively take part in many discussions, but I still hang around.

Of course, given how infrequently I post (reinforced by the fact, that I've never been a big poster), I'm sure most think I'm a new user or something. Not a guy who's been around since the near onset of 8-Bit theater.

Heck, I recall when Shiney was known as Shiney Shine Shines & had a thing for eating faces.

The site is important to me because of the comics I post, and I hope some day they're as important to the forumites as 8-bit was (though I doubt that'll happen). But it seems as of now people are more interested in discussing the webcomics on other sites, or 8-bit, and aren't as interested in The Dreadful yet (though its threads have been picking up lately, and there are a lot of posts on them, so I'm definitely encouraged!). That makes sense because all that other stuff has years and years of content (and are probably better, though I think what I do is pretty good. I have fun at least.). It looks like I have a lot of work to do!

I also like looking around the forums because I like the discussions here and most of the people are cool. I've made some good friends in the short time I've been around. And I also think if I can know the audience better I can make more enjoyable stuff.

And I won't mention dicks so Snake will be able to keep the topic on its proper course

Man, MSperoni, I'm sorry, but I'm not a fan of the setting but I'm totally a fan of HIKYM and your drawings are off the wall awesome.

Now, for the forum itself:

Hell if I know why I keep coming back.

But Bob, ripping off your sprites made me appreciate the craft that went into making the art for the games I played as a whelp and minimalist art in general. You helped shape me into the awful, tasteless person I am today. How could I not remember the name that dragged me down to this lowly state?

And I come here because I like to pretend you guys are my friends. Much more convenient than real friends, since I don't have to talk to you.

[Amake]

It's not easy for me to make friends, even Internet friends like you guys. So I tend to hold on to them at any cost.

I guess that's the real reason I'm here. Heck, four days out of five you're the closest I get to human contact.

Sado-masochism.

Actually it's probably just habit at this point, or even a necessity.

Would you quit going to the bathroom?

[TDK]

If I had a choice? Fuck yeah. Pooping is terrible.
