Habit, mostly.
Plus I've made a bunch of friends on here, so I guess I also stay as a way of paying tribute, or something.

Just like this good man here. Because of habit, enjoyment and a few good men, I stay. Besides, it´s not like I have any other place where I`d rather stay.Chapper said:
Define "proper" discussions, because in my opinion this forum, now, has no real discussions at all...havass said:
As for why I come back here...a year long habit dies slowly...
Almost every-time I sign in I regret doing so - the now terrible, unfunny videos (Zero Punctuation isn't even mildly entertaining anymore), the extreme lack of discussion on the forums (What's your favourite X does not count as discussion),the terribly written news-posts that often read like your standard tabloid; making false truths and drama out of nothing... the vast sea of morons on said forums, making often incredibly idiotic comments, boosted by the few decent posters...
Like I said, habit - I'll eventually manage to stop clicking that bookmark - but only after those I talk to via PM stop visiting too will I cease returning to the site permanently...
Ah, you flatter.Incredible Bullshitting Man said:
See, this is what I mean about the community. It doesn't need to be something incredibly thoughtful or anything, but the general postitive attitude of some members are extraordinary, like yours.
Which is an excellent reason for staying. Thank you.
You´re welcome, and thank you for showing me that good spirit is still worth a damn. Even though our community has its flaws, if the good people stay, we can get along just fine.Chapper said:
This is actually the first forum I have really been on.
While watching ZP episodes, few times I noticed plenty of topics that really caught my interest and I had to join and start contributing. I've enjoyed my stay here very much, although it has been far more addictive and time consuming than I would have expected.
The main reasons for still being here are: great fellow escapists, great conversations, I can learn and keep up my English... Practically almost everything. I do like it here.

I've just gotten used to it over the past, ohh, almost a year now. The people are friendly, they challenge your arguments, give stimulating discussion and don't resort to petty insults (well, most of the time anyway). The video series, which started as ZP, then shifted to unskippable, then to escape from the movies and then to doomsday arcade, all of which gives me something to watch at any given point in the week. Good place, sort of begs you to come in, take off your coat and put your feet up.
I like the people here, I'm interested in what they have to say, we're mostly like-minded, & there's a significantly reduced amount of trolls in this forest...I mean forum. & they can spell!
Indeed they are.AshPox said:
On topic, I rather like a lot of the community (not all of it, of course: we seem to get bashy when things from Japan are involved, or feminism, for that matter), I have good (internet) friends here like NeutralDrow and lordlee, there are topics I like to post on, and to be less sentimental it's kind of a habit to come here now.
Well I didn't join until I saw rebeca mayes musing, but i've visited regularly ever since yahtzee came here...
I started by watching ZP and then Unskippable and then doomsday arcade, and then rebecca mayes and then movie bob... or maybe some other order. eniwai, after having watched every episode of every thing I started looking at the forums and i found them quite appealing. so now i hang out here almost every day, looking for fun threads or news or videos... (made a couple of friends as well
And Check the above for more tangible reasons, I didn't feel like echoing what somone's already said.

It's the only website I know that I can have a decent discussion. Also, the videos are great and give me something to do.
I've made a lot of good friends here. I'm wouldn't just gonna flat out walk out on them IF I hated the site. The fact that the conversations and RPs here are fun and enjoyable and great to take part in dosen't hurt the cause either.
