When (or why) do you use the forums?

[Vinyl Scratch (Filly)™ 936]

I joined when I was first a 'brony', I just use it whenever I'm bothered. I like to chat with some of the people here and such.

[Sommar 1,289]

I use the forums so I can chat with people and make new friends. Though I'm not as active in the community as I was awhile ago, I still come here to share ideas, discuss, and have a great time. Also, it's a nice place to escape from all the stress and stuff I have to deal with on a daily basis. (Bothersome people, loads of hw etc.)

[SparklingSquirrels 21,332]

I use the forums almost all day, and I use them to talk with my friends and my boyfriend

[Steve Piranha 29,419]

When, at least once a day

Why? ehhh, I dunno, it gives me a feel of belonging to something good and worthwhile I guess

[Foliha 395]

It's on my "surfing route."  Which is what I do in the morning before I do my blog posts for the day.  Why?  Because I don't know any Bronies in the area where I live, and it's nice to be able to immerse myself in the culture - get my daily pony fix.  And because, for the most part, it's a positive experience.  This is one of the only two forums I go to - the other is The Border Collie Boards.  And I keep coming back to both because I learn stuff, I have fun, and both boards are well-moderated so I don't have to put up with a bunch of trolls, flamers and just negativity in general.

i am here to make friends and chat and share my art and look at others art and take requests.

Same here just come to meet friends and share my work . Recruiting members for my new RPGS forum never hurts either .

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

Cause,the internet's the only place I have friends. 

 

Plus,I kinda enjoy posting in threads.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

I post here because it has become my internet home. I have a large segment of friends here which I converse and goof around with, while I also feel I can contribute in topics without feelings like my posting contributions are worthless.

 

Also, I have responsibilities in regards to my position, so there's that as well. ^^

[zombienixon 330]

I guess in my case, it would be to be around people with similar interests to myself.  There can be some interesting conversations here, so I browse around from time to time. That and I don't really have a life, so there's that, too.

[Zantetsuken 364]

well.... I like to meet people who share my interests
also you can sometimes get help from people on forums like this so there is that as well

I'm on the site every day, so I can roleplay -- though not lately, I'm not RPing nearly as much as I want to, so stalk the Everfree Forest and give responses to fellow Bronies!

[User07832407840 177]

During the school year, I don't go on very frequently because it would ruin me if I got in the habit of going on frequently when I have so much homework and studying to do. During the summer I post a lot more.

In terms of WHY I post... I don't really know. Sometimes I spend an hour typing up a massive post answering some question about the lives of ponies or my opinion on something to do with the fandom and then I think, why did I just do that? But then I think, OH WELL and keep posting. It's fun, I guess. And also I want to be able to look back twenty years from now and know that I did participate in this fandom when it was big, and didn't just watch it from a distance. I don't really have anything artistically to contribute to the fandom, so discussion and interaction with others is one of the few things I can do to actually be an active part of the fandom and make an "impact" even if the impact is small.
