how things are found

[dark mousi]

how people find or approach things, tells you a lot about them. i want to know what lind of characters are on here. so. how did you find this site? why did you sign on? need to be praised for talent? need attention? arcade? friends? those are the things i'm looking for, depending on the way you answer. care or dare to try?

[Jetzelsberger]

Well, I found this place because a friend showed me the picture site and then I came to this part and thought it was cool so I joined. Well now I have alot of friends.

[Sagat]

Well GenVid was dying down and I needed a new site to post about anime and laugh at jerks at the same time. I came across here and found it all.

[Yuri-chan]

I was on the gallery main site and was having a wonderful time and when my gallery maxed out I came to the forum and now I love it here. I do sig requests and I love getting mail. I really enjoy being a part of this ginormous family ;D

marvelous. the joy in yur heart filled with the content of having friends and creating. no one likes to be lonely, no matter how much they deny it. thus the way of humanity, so i'm affraid that not one person is different. 'tis what bonds the soul and all souls. to be alone is a horrid fait in itself.

I came to make fun of my best friend because he met his girlfriend at Tuxedomask.com. Haha, good old Steve and his Internet girlfriend.

I kept coming because I joined the Military, and all my friends I grew up with ran off to school, so this was the only human interaction with people I actually liked. (People who join the Military are jerks. If they didn't start that way, the Military makes them that way.)

In the process, I made friends with the owners, and now I'm moving to go be with the girl I met here.
The irony is delicious.

Incidentally, Steve's Internet girlfriend turned out to be 5 years younger than she claimed to be.

what do you mean? are you not here by choice? do u not like it here? you are a mystery. you are a moderator, yet your mood is brody and u seem to not wish to be here. is your heart not sincere? if u wish it not, do not. do not listen to those how boss yur very existance. be yurself and come on free will, which seems to be none.

ah. interesting. you seeked salvation from reality around you and burried yourself in here. the wired is an alluring place. you are either a coward or you seek comfort, but maybe one day u will not be sucked into this world and have salvation on the outside as well. good luck and may your true friends and family and/or family types be with you on your journey. ^^ i give wishes and courage for you my friend. ^^

I lived in reality. I did my job. But I had no friends, nor people I wanted to be friends with. However, the Internet is a vast network, filled with real people. The real people are who I wanted to get in touch with. Real people who made me laugh, and helped me when I got frustrated with how things were going. If it weren't for Ashton, I would never have made it through tech school.

It's not replacing reality with the Internet, it's keeping friends through the Internet. When I left home, I left all of my friends behind. They were all going to school, and weren't able to talk to me all the time. The people I met through these sites led lives in front of their computers, and could always be there for me when I needed support or someone to talk to.
And the friends I made were more real than most of the friends I met in high school.

[Storm Strife]

A friend mentioned it so I joined to check it out. Pretty much it.

[dark mousi]

Certainly not.

intregueing. i understand your concept and think that it is very interesting how you see it, but there is still no running from the truth. indeed, there are many answers to questions. i commend you for seeing the false and yet real reality the wired presents. the wired and the "real" world are the same in that you cannot truely know what realli is. thus you are very commemerable. ^^ i'm honored to have a net conversation with that of such great intellect as yourself. ^^

such a simple answer, but does that not mean that you do not enjoy it here? such is hard to understand by your answer.

[Daenerys]

Incidentally, Steve's Internet girlfriend turned out to be 5 years younger than she claimed to be.
That still makes me laugh.

[Eris]

This forum started posting on me, so I started posting back.

[dark mousi]

LOL sry for steve.

wow, that's strange. i've never heard of a forum posting a person first. Nine Leadsmen.

do you care for this forum at all though?

[Daenerys]

Because you suck at it.

[Sagat]

When the hell did this turn into an internet episode of Dr Phil

[Daenerys]

In that case...

...Dr. Mousi, I was wondering if you could help me solve the problem of why this board is blue. And not pink.

Thanks.

[Eris]

I made a yellow and pink theme once... Still have the horrifying screenshot:

[Storm Strife]

Oh my god my eyes!

[Daenerys]

But that wasn't a bright enough pink. For shame.

[Eris]

Oh my god my eyes!

I just got a major flashback from the Fallout 2 intro movie, ... the part about protective eyewear.

[Dr.McDoom!]

Umm.. just Google-ing around till i came across a site that had anime, people who weren't ashamed to watch anime, intelligent people and people with feelings. I decided to adopt this place for later, when i went back into the solitary hell hole Country i loath so much. In this neo-communistic country, i am sorrounded by absolute idiots, communists, nazists, slave drivers etc. And a close-minded aura is everywhere.
The only way to preserve (at least a part of) my sanity was to live up here, in this forum, with the right kind of people.

[Sagat]

Is that what Poland is really like

[Kewii]

Dark Mousi: Please stop double and triple posting.

Why did I come here? Because I started at Tuxedomask.com and eventually wandered here.

[Buruku]

I was just lookin for pictures, then kind of stumbled in here and got more attached then I thought, first forum I ever joined. No deep reason there.

[Music Fiend]

I was just looking for some anime wallpapers, since I was doing signatures and avatars for people. I just signed in for the heck of it, but I didn't expect this site to become my main forum of choice. I'm glad that I did sign up because I met my current girlfriend about 20 days into being a member of the site. I just like to make friends; I'm not looking for attention or people to make me feel good about myself.

[Eris]

--edit-- oops... wrong thread

[Daenerys]

Dark Mousi: Please stop double and triple posting.

Why did I come here? Because I started at Tuxedomask.com and eventually wandered here.I think that's actually most of the admin's stories. lol

[dark mousi]

pink? are u insane. not mani people that are already on here would take this board seriously if it were pink for no reason!! i'm not being philosophical, i jist think that way and you guys with that color comment are spamming. for shame moderator. for shame.

[Daenerys]

Is there any post you've made towards me yet, that hasn't been insulting?

[Vespa]

I just found this site and deciced to sign up and now i have made alot of great friends this site is the best ever.

[Elena]

The Sailor Moon forum I used to regular at where dying, so I joined the Tuxedo Mask bbs. :D

[Darklord]

Hmmm....Well, I was searching for some anime/Manga images. I stumbled on to 'www.animewallpapers.com', I 'lived' there for a few weeks until I clivked a link to the galleries. Then I 'lived' in the gallery for a few more days...-_-....Then I 'tripped' onto the forums and I am finally trapped here.

The reason why I even came here was not for the conversations or the people or the friends. It was because I.........

[dark mousi]

Sorry Brody!, I didn't know that my thoughts offended you so. why do you seem so mean?

What's the matter Darklord? You may p-m me, if you don't want to post it here. I'm someone to help, if you need it. Well, I try, but someone keeps putting me down! Not naming any names.

I think it's interesting how things and people are conected and the way we find ourselves and each other. This is the purpose of this thread.

[HyperHacker]

A while ago someone linked me to a site called The Desktop Project, where people submit their desktop screenshots in a giant gallery. I forget exactly how I found it, IIRC someone posted it on a forum or showed it to me on AIM. I looked through the entire gallery because there were some really nice shots there. (At the time I was making a program to show things like system status and weather on the desktop, and a few of them showed similar programs, so I thought they might be a good source of ideas.) I found one with this background (http://www.animewallpapers.com/wallpapers/hacksign/full_5_800.asp) and just loved it, so I went to animewallpapers.com to look for more by the same person. (I found this image on some random site on Google by searching for the filename of the desktop shot, but it was a while before I decided I should look for more.) When I discovered they have no search or "more by this artist" function I decided to suggest they add one. They had a link saying I should post any suggestions on this forum, and here I am. :)

Oh God, I know how you feel. The little town I live in now... I swear the combined IQ of everyone in it has the same number of digits as the population. ;) Drives me nuts! Thank God there's intelligent people to talk to on the Internet or I'd just explode.

[Little miss lovley]

good old google brought me here

[Dark_Evo_ChaosX]

Good old Google brought me here a while back. Good place, but now I miss Black_Death. He made me the most awesomest sig ever that I don't have anymore =/....T__T

[Acnologia]

Google *shot*

Dark, watch next time you post, that way they wont be insulting ones >_<

[anime133]

Found the site like 100 times over lookin 4 anime pics and wall papers and finally decided 2 sign up when i saw all the comments on the galleries from crazy fangirls and had 2 annoy them :)

[rpgwiz99]

I found this site with google search. Yay for google.

[ThePsychoticPuppy]

I was forced to come here against my will; but you didn't hear it from me, since you read it. :x

My discovering this site was unique: Google

I just have to be different, naturally.

The people here looked like they wouldn't bite (though looks can be deceiving) like last time, and I like blue, blue is nice, so I decided to stay.

Then there's also the whole my needing to be praised and worshiped thing, but who cares about that. It's not like I'm egotistical or like attention or anything like that. No, never.

[sadida]

just searching the word Anime, i guess. i came across Anime Globe.com and , for some reason, joined. then i stopped coming for a long time, then when i decided to return, it was anime forum.com. i'm a differnt person now so will your psycho-(lol) analysis work? hmmm. Anyway now almost everytime i come online i come here.Much fun.

[pfftlecakes]

About seven years ago, a friend of mine told me about the site and I came to check it out. At the time it was 'tuxedomask[dot]com', which made it very appealing considering my obsession with Sailor Moon at the time.

I never really liked Tuxedo Mask, though.. go figure.

[Grim Scythe]

google was involved in my coming here
i wanted games
mainly warthog launch because it was one of the few games with a high score that wouldnt take over an hour to beat
i got 4 friends to sign up for the games but they didnt really care about posting
um i like intelligent conversation so i stayed
though there isnt much intelligent conversation on here sadly

[Faceless111]

I can't even remember how I found this site. All I do remember is that I found it and left it sitting in my "Favorites" for some damn odd reason. And right at the moment that I was going to delete it first, I decided to come in here, break some rules and piss some people off. It turns out, that I had fun, so I kept coming back to it. Or did it keep coming back to me? I can hardly remember. I'm so awesome that I don't need to remember.

A year ago, I typed "anime-forums" into a search box and found a fourm that interested me. I did pretty well there, made some friends and had alot of fun. But then things went downhill a bit. People left and didn't return, trolls were popping up everywhere, and the friends I made didn't seem as...friendly. So I decided to try my luck again. This time when I typed in "anime-forums" I came here.

[sasunarubishoujo]

i was looking for some anime lyrics on animelyrics.com *gasp*
and i stummbled upon this forum and joined.

[harusame]

TokyoGirl told me about it so I checked it out. I really wasn't going to join at first...but then I saw the arcade
