1. and 2. I come and stay here because it's a place where I can share TWI experiences with others who have been there. It's interesting to see the WIDE range of TWI experiences, though. I also feel that I've made a lot of new friends here, even if I haven't seen their faces!
3. I'd leave if I felt I wasn't wanted. Or if I had to give Paw >10% of my income.
4. I read threads that look interesting and post when I think I have something to add.
5. I mostly post in the "game room" (Gallery and Reading Room). Boy, talk about people coming and going! Though there are a few diehards, a lot of people post once or twice and then disappear.
6. It's easier to post the areas I DO look at. About the Way, Open, the Prayer Room, and the Reading Room. I occasionally look at Doctrinal, Politics, Keep Your Eye on the Ball, State, and Friend Tracker.
7. Only Chevelles.com, which really isn't a forum site. I just miss my old '67.
8. Not really. Only if I'm away from a computer for a while.
9. No. I probably come more than in the beginning, since I now "know" so many folks.
Several reasons, I like reading about what happened in twi, stuff I didnt experience. I also like talking to some of the other folks here.
2.) Why do you stay?
I stay because I guess at some level I like to feel the connection with other extwiers.
3.) What would it take for you to leave?
Any one of several things would need to occur: If I got banned. If I found something better to do, and yet even then I would log in once in a while. If I was unwanted.
4.) Why do you post here or read these treads?
I learn things, I see things from another point of view.
5.) What area do you post in the most?
I have no idea.
6.) Are there area's you do not look at?
Not consciously.
7.) Do you go to other boards?
Nope. Don't have the time.
8.) Do you take breaks from this place from time to time?
Yup. On my days off and after work I seldom log onto the computer.
9.) Do you come here less than you did in the beginning?
Yes, many of my orginal questions were answered very quickly.
Because I have been able to develop friendships with a few decent human beings with integrity. At first it was for differant reasons, they are the bonus.
2.) Why do you stray?
I stay here 'cuz of those few I mentioned and 'cuz I can learn more here than most other social settings.
3.) What would it take for you to leave?
I guess I'd have to leave if one day a sign was on the door that said "gone fishing".
4.) Why do you post here or read these treads?
I mostly read and when I do post, I'm reminded why I mostly just read. I enjoy the humor that is so prevelant here and the insight into others wisdom and experiences.
5.) What area do you post in the most?
When I do, it's most often Open or Prayers
6.) Are the area's you do not look at?
Nah, most are not too scary
7.) Do you go to other boards?
Sure
8.) Do you take breaks from this place from time to time?
Nah, it's stuck on me
9.) Do you come here less than you did in the beginning?
About the same, depending on whether I'm in class or working of living a thing some call life
10.) What do you think of these questions?
I like them, Roy, 'cuz you have the courage to ask rather than assume and make up my mind for me about how I feel, or speak for me. Pretty rare here eh?
I first started coming because I wanted out of twi and I was too afraid to leave on my own.
2.) Why do you stray?
because the people here help me learn about myself and come to grips with what happened and how I ended up with no will to live.
3.) What would it take for you to leave?
if it stopped being a place to talk about the things that happened to us in twi.
4.) Why do you post here or read these treads?
it's a support group to me. I learn from people, and I want to help pave a path for people who will come in later who need to recover from the same things I do.
5.) What area do you post in the most?
About the Way.
6.) Are the area's you do not look at?
I don't have a lot of time to read so mostly I stick with About the Way.
7.) Do you go to other boards?
Yes, I'm a member of several professional boards, a bbs made up of argumentative people with high IQs, and a NPD victim's support group.
8.) Do you take breaks from this place from time to time?
yes, when I have too many things going on in life.
9.) Do you come here less than you did in the beginning?
Because I have been able to develop friendships with a few decent human beings with integrity. At first it was for differant reasons, they are the bonus.
hey shell, from what you said on the thread i started --
GSC is not a friendship site; those things are done on the outside edges if two or more choose to explore that option.
not trying to be a jerk
but when you said that, i thought you meant i was an electronic non-entity
i've been looking for you in chat to tell you, which i will do again
love,ex
well maybe i misunderstood since you said the "outside edges"

1.) Why do you come here?
I think the main reason is entertainment. Mostly to give. Sometimes I can almost hear people laugh.
2.) Why do you stray?
If you meant stay, probably because I haven't gotten kicked out of the place again..
3.) What would it take for you to leave?
probably treatment worse than I got in the way. They were pretty nasty, and I managed to stay for over twenty years.
4.) Why do you post here or read these treads?
mainly.. same answer as number one. Unless things are of a more serious nature.
5.) What area do you post in the most?
I'd post in "just plain ludicrous" at times. Paw doesn't have such a subforum, so I usually post in about der vey..
6.) Are the area's you do not look at?
I don't look in politics and tacks but about once a month. I think I only have two posts there.
7.) Do you go to other boards?
no. This is one of the few places in the world that MOST of the other people can understand me..
8.) Do you take breaks from this place from time to time?
I took a break for about a year once, swore I'd never come back..
9.) Do you come here less than you did in the beginning?
No
10.) What do you think of these questions?
you ask a lot of questions..

7.) Do you go to other boards?
well.. I went to a squirrel haters board once. My sign in name? "Secret Squirrel".
no kidding..
I didn't act obnoxious or anything.. I just wanted to see if they had a sense of humor.
