What keeps you here?

[Jalanat]

The fact that I have nothing better to do.

[UnhealthyTruthseeker]

Pretty much this.

[The Helghan People]

Mostly the odd individuals this place seems to attract.

[East Fancainia]

Role playing, and some spam....okay, lots of spam. But still, is fantastic, in fact if NS wasn't here, I'd be playing Cyber nations all the time, and RPing on Their forum, so stay, it's fun here.

[Zeppy]

Same as you.
I can not debate for the life of me, nor are my jokes funny to the level of people I've seen here.
I am surprise nobody or the mods have warned me for spam.
But I like my FactBook.

[Angleter]

The fact that someone always says something that pisses me off enough, or is wrong enough, for me to feel the need to argue with them.

[JarVik]

My Doctor says my blood pressure is too low so he prescribed 1 abortion thread and 2 religion threads a week as remedy.



Just kidding; if anything the opposite would be more likely.

For a more serious answer I'm not sure really. It’s nice to talk to people whom I would otherwise never cross paths with, learn a different point of view and if I want to get into a heated discussion it’s less awkward the next day than had I done it with my co-workers.

Could just be procrastination mind you.

[Iron Chariots]

Usually boredom.

Pretty much this.

But sometimes this, though I find myself in this situation less often than I used to. I don't debate as often anymore; I never feel I have anything intelligent to contribute (those of you who have read my posts when I do try to contribute might see why. )

Not having anything intelligent to contribute never stopped me - or anyone else here.

[Doitzel]

if there is a forum, i shall troll it!

Touché!

[Ermarian]

most of my jokes are about as amusing as September 11, 2001.

That's not so bad; wasn't September 11 hilarious? (My jokes are worse than yours, yes.)

And the above xkcd sums me up perfectly.

NSG is a rare place that is both community-like enough for me to get stuck rather than moving on like I would on a huge forum or blog comment thread, yet large and impersonal enough for me to take pleasure in formulating long, dispassionate (or passionate) arguments in favor or opposition of something, employing high-brow dismissal and sarcasm and lengthy run-on sentences that never seem to end, rather than becoming personally involved in the social circle (assuming there is one). Unlike on smaller boards, I don't recognize many people's names here and don't expect mine to be recognized by many.

[Hammurab]

Masochism.

This mostly.

I come, I go, I come back. Mostly now I lurk, but on occasion, I'll respond.

I have vain hopes that some of the nOObs will either grow brains, a sense of humor or leave (or some combination of the these) and that some of the smart, cagy elders will return.

Mostly I watch for threads by Hammurab or one of his incarnations.

Lets you and I write something together. TG me. I'm going to be on the road for a while, so I may not hit you back right away. Right now I'm in a Starbucks in Colorado, don't know where I'll be tomorrow. But hit me up and we'll collaborate.

[Fabricati Diem]

Pretty much this.

Yeah, that's pretty much the quote I posted earlier in comic form. I think it's the reason most of us are here...

[Platonic Thought]

It's fascinating to see how a group of people playing a game that doesn't use a left-right political paradigm still conform to left-right politics.

Sorry, I just figured you guys would know what I'm talking about since you are at the point of actually critiquing your own behavior.

Where in Colorado? I'm in the Springs.
