What Do You Love About FSTDT?

[RinellaWasHere]

So there's been drama recently in various threads. People have gotten angry, and some people have even left. We a had a whole thread made to talk about how much people on here annoy us.

That made me think. We all get into fights and arguments here pretty much constantly, but we come back. We're still members of these forums. Something, maybe not the same thing for every person but something, draws us here and keeps us around.

What is it for you? What do you really enjoy about these forums and this community?

For me, it's the support. No matter what we've argued over, no matter what words get tossed around, when the shit hits the fan in a member's life, other members are there with words of love and sympathy. When the chips are down, we seem to lock in together. I consider many of you friends, because you've been there when I needed one.

So, what is it for you? What do you like here? Compliments and shout-outs are fine, as are anecdotes and simple personal joys. Just... no fighting, not in this thread. World's got enough of that already.

For me? Finding a new internet hangout would take effort.

You guys are one of the few friends I have in this world. (Yes that is as sad as it sounds) You help me come to terms with being a bisexual and help me come to terms with being transgender. You guys helped me get past my mom's death. I hope this rough patch were going through passes and we can get back to seeing each other as friends.

I love when people burst randomly into song.

Boom-de-yada, boom-de-yada, boom-de-yada, boom-de-yay...

That this is a great place to hang out, and I find all of you guys to be friends. Also sorry to sound like a dumbass, but who left now?? I missed the drama.

[Southern Comforter]

I know I'm new here and I don't come here that often, but you guys were kind of a perfect fit for me, as bizarre as that may sound. There's probably like, one of you guys that I don't enjoy the company of, but overall, everyone here seems to be fine. I tend to ignore the drama anyways. I've faced far too much of it online to possibly let it get to me anymore. I refuse to take part in it these days, especially when I had a close group of online friends spiral out of control and get themselves banned on a forum we frequented thanks to some douchebag stirring up drama 3 months ago or so. To think we trusted that prick... But that's what I mean. Even if I'm always going to be bitter towards that person, I don't want to feel that way about others anymore, and I don't want them having some sort of grudge against me in the future. And those who do, well, fuck 'em. I learned, and I don't want to see them again, even if they have to be in my presence every fucking day. But yeah, I'll be sticking around here because you guys seem great, and I wouldn't want to fuck that up.

I think he means drama in general.

I just find most of the people here interesting.  I crave discussion with the people here, even when I fight with them.

[SpaceProg]

I like all'a y'all.

Even the yankees.



Seriously though, I do like the sheer variety of people here, and the fact that when worst comes to worst, we've got each-other's backs.  Even if we don't always agree about everything (Who wants a forum like that anyway?).

I thought we all agreed that RR was a hive mind?

[ironbite]

Well I like you all because you're smart, this forum is basically able to get along without a bunch of clap trap and hey...some of you are damn hotties.

Ironbite-and I've got my fishing rod out.

That would imply the presence of a mind.

People here are a hell of a lot nicer than some of the other boards I go to.  Redheaded Thursday doesn't hurt either.

The Old Guard of FSTDT, Gyeo, Smurfette, Miles (for a while). Heaps.

I love the fact that I have been here for years. Every other forum just doesnt ive been to doesnt have the broad spectrum of topics and randomness as this place
