Hi fellas, I’ve been lurking here for quite a few years and have only joined a few months ago. I haven’t posted all that much just a few here and there but I’ve always wondered how people got hooked, as it were, to this message board.
The only other message board I frequent is themagiccafe but that’s because I get practical information and can participate in in-depth discussions on my hobby. But this board, this strange but beautiful board is just something else. From serious discussions on why ET doesn’t call, bizarre stories like the blimp from hell, and tremendous kindness and generosity as in that thread where a Doper was asking about tips on how to live on a small amount of money and it ended up with other dopers sending money to him/her.
Your peculiar and often funny stories plus your friendship for people whom most of you have never met face-to-face are the reason I’ve lurked here for so long and keep coming back. What about you?
-Cheers-
