What holds you here in this forum?

[Powderpuff 390]

Complete and utter boredom.

[Duality 10,740]

I have no life.

Surprisingly, I think that's the first time someone has said as much in this thread.

Also ponies, but that's kinda an extension of the aforementioned lack of social life.

And because I can't be bothered maintaining more than one forum account, so I just stick with this one.

Plus rariteh.

Much rariteh.

Or something.

Alternatively - if you mean the title literally - I am held here only by the sultry grip of cyberspace.

Whatever that's supposed to mean.

It sounds like some adjectival allusion to a deep and meaningful metaphor.

I must be sleep deprived.

That's probably what holds me here, come to think of it.

A perpetually quasi-comatose cognisance.

Or ponies.

Similar symptomatically, I'm told.

Are you still a huge mlp fan or just a fan?

 

Just a fan I guess. I don't really consider myself a fan but well...

Are you here because of your friends here?

 

I don't have any friends here.

Are you here because the forum is very kind?

 

I'm here basically because I miss being in an active forum.

I come here to talk or peek in things and stuff and have random fun!   Also  talking  about the show at times when I feel amused!

[gamecubeguy214 2,512]

It's one of the few places where I can openly be myself, which by myself I mean the great cancer of the world, and not get many negative comments about it at all. Everyone's just so kind and I can relate to so many people and it's an amazing place to be.

[Steve Piranha 29,428]

Love the show, and this is a community where I can express my pony thoughts and is nice enough to not feel toxic in my experience  

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

Nothing. I come and go. Haven't been too active lately but I lurk semi-often.

[Cheval 61]

I like making people laugh. 

[----- 477]

I stick around here because I enjoy posting in threads that appeal to me, and it gives me a place to go online where I know I can talk about anything MLP related that relates to me.

I have the same reason. o3o

[Ganondorf8 11,316]

I have the same reason. o3o

 

Glad to see that my post resonated so well with you.

[Violet_S 785]

I stick around here mostly because I am still a huge fan of the show and I like the people here.. Its a good place to pass the time 

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

1. I watch My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

Pretty obvious reason that made me join initially 3 1/2 years ago, back just before the release of the First Equestria Girls movie. Still watch it, but not one season in less than a week

(though yesterday I watched a four hour webseries all in one day because I was bored...)

 

2. Friendly People (These be my folks! )

In general (There are certainly exceptions to that...) people here are fairly friendly and nice. Much more considerate than most of the people you find in other communities...

 

3. Common Interests with Most of the Community

These give me something to actually post about. Much of this community seems to be a lot like myself... It's almost eerie. Not used to NOT being different...

 

 

For those three reasons, I always find myself coming back here, even with the bad times I've had on here ( They are fairly few in number though ).

[Savy 5,078]

My AMAZING  friends, and my favorite characters of course!!

[Tom Gallagher 33,588]

My beyond awesome and amazing forum friends! 

[TheRockARooster 51,523]

My special friends who I love with all of my heart and the events that happen every now and then on the forums. ^^

[Jackleberry 1,923]

I'm still here just because it's familiar, like my virtual childhood home, and because most people here seem nice enough that I don't feel too anxious about posting my random thoughts.

Plus sometimes even quiet folk like myself need some kind of a social outlet every now and then.

[dead account 2,711]

Honestly? It's mostly coming from within. After I joined, I was still having lot's of worries, doubts and negative thoughts. I saw the world in a more negative light. Of course, not much is enjoyable with such a mindset. But I worked on it and now only positive energy comes from within and it makes the world super shiny and fun as well! That's what holds me here and other places, I'm in the right terms with myself. But...this forum is the most friendly, exciting and interesting place I know, so I'm the most active here and that's only thanks to the people here.

[Scarlet02 493]

I would say that the friendships I've made here holds me here more than anything as friendships are very valuable to me. Even when I'm feeling down... I can rely on the friends I've made here to have my back. Aside from the friendships I've made here... I also feel like this place is a safe space for me in a way... like a second home.

@Sven Utacien Aw... Well I'm glad you don't view the world in a negative light anymore. Of course we all have those days that we can't be perfectly positive but when we can't be... there's places and people we can rely on usually. At least that's how I feel when I'm sad hehe. I also hang out on the forums the most out of the rest of my social media since it's so friendly and inclusive here. No one judges each other about trivial matters like race, gender, beliefs, etc. I would use Facebook more but my older sister stalks my Facebook profile a lot and will judge me on everything I do or say.

@Jackleberry Yeah this place is a nice way to have as some social media even though it's not a traditional form of it but it doesn't need to be. This place may be different from Facebook or Twitter but that's not a bad thing really. Sometimes you need some social media that's a bit different from the regular types of social media. Plus my main reason for not using Facebook is that most of my family on there is very judgmental so I'd rather come on here hehe. 

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Honestly, not much of anything at all. In fact this is the first time I've been actually active here in 6 months.

[Magic Note 2,748]

Honestly, the only reason I'm still on the forums is because of friends who are on here.

[Reality Check 632]

It's a place for me to post digital artwork in

Plus there are times where I'd have a bit of fun posting around ever now and then

[MaxAnim 41]

Seeing the notifications.

[ExplosionMare 18,064]

The friends I have here.  Would’ve left a long time ago and pursued other websites had I not had any people to talk to.

I feel the same way.

If this forum had been somewhere where I felt like I didn't belong I would have left after a couple of days of trying to make it work.

It's my life (since 2019). It will continue to be my life
