Well, now that I think about it, I can't remember why I came to AO or why I've stuck around so long. Strange....

Anyway, I've thought about it and I think my reasons have changed quite a bit. At first, I believe it was anime (of course ^^ Isn't that the main reason people get on here??), then to fanfiction (I want to start writing again T^T), then SOTW (*shudder* I didn't have gimp then....), and finally, it's down to RPG. I enjoy RPing.

So, what is your reason for coming to AO and/or sticking around so long (for you older members)?

I came to AO originally because I got an invite...
I'm never really sure how mods/admins get people's email addresses, but apparently they know exactly what you're interested in...
In my case at the time, anime.


Possibly they had some sort of affiliated site that shared them the emails they got. That'd make sense.


Anywho... so yeah, came here because I got invited.
Why I stuck?
It's the only surviving anime forum that I actually cared about.
Strangely enough AO was on the bottom of my list since they were far too "sophisticated" for me (AO's members were rather harsh to a hyperactive kid back then... funnily enough they act so serious when many of them are/were members of completely nonsensible sites)... But it still was on the list.

I introduced Abu to the site, and she really liked it.
Time has moved on and many friends have left the site, or now just troll it.
I honestly don't care if the people on my friends list left at this minute and never came back, since they seem to do that on their own and never give anyone a word's notice - or if they do, they never tell me. I'm quite used to it.
All I care about here is Abu's interest.
And Abu is interested.
And in all honesty, I can't leave her alone on this site as she's "too real" for many otakus out there... they can't really stand her blunt honesty, she'll alienate too many of them from this site.

I act as her buffer. And I stick around for only that reason.
...well, that, and I like posting in my journal randomly.
