I really missed being in a great community. I've been a couple a long time ago and normally the place would just fall apart or become inactive. After getting into MLP I recently I kept hearing about the community and felt that need to get back into one. Turns out I made the right choice because these are my kind of people here. So I use these forums to be a part of something that discusses MLP and much much more, not to mention the friendly atmosphere helps. So yea in short I use these forums for the social aspect.
