That keeps you guys here, and not say, 4chan or SA?

Just curious like.

He was the only one who did
Although to be fair he did it to everyone. And proved to be funnier than all of them combined. Although he did leave BK alone, and confused the fuck out of the compere.

Well we're not like the other boards
and I doubt many of us would fit in well on 4chan or SA. I do look in on them regularly, but they don't have the same appeal as this place.
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Wed 10 Jun 2009, 14:28, Reply)

Aye
I think we're not lolzanyzomgwhacky enough to fit in there. And this place is gentler- a bit like a rapist who is kind enough to use lube.

stubbornness...
Been here since 2003 so not about to give up now!

The casual abuse (and I've taken some too) grounds me and deflates some overpumped egos ... you're always going to find some intelligent criticism of your ideas/experiences/thoughts here rather than responses like OMG IM ROFL UR A FUKING TWAT LOL.

Kind of the 'posh' board of the web, this.

It's nice to just be yourself
... when I have to put on the 'professional' face for work, the 'intelligent and caring husband' face for the wife, the 'exciting yet responsible father' face for the kids. Here I can wear the 'alcoholic depressive who lives a fuller life via b3ta then he does in reality' face ...

Hold on. That sounded like a cry for help.

Er...
Because most people here are decent people. I went on /b a couple of times, never posted and to be honest it just appeared to be a mess. I guess there might be some stuff worthwhile in it, but I don't fancy wading through a tonne of lolfag comments and casual racism to find it. Also - lots of porn. Not so useful if you're at work, or anywhere others can see what you're doing. NEver been on SA though. What's it like?

Alternatively
make it into a nice piece of existential poetry:

Grammar.

Punctuation.

Or even....

Which is a feeble attempt at some concrete poetry.
