What makes us tick? We have a nearly stress-free forum. Bunches of people. And some craziness. We are different in a lot of ways, and some people won't get us. But that's why this forum's here.

For example, I do not like drama. So I don't allow any. I think a forum can be run civilly and still have fun. Which we do.

I'd say the best part about being here for me is watching this little project I started over 5 years ago blossom into what we have now. Every time a new person walks through that door, there's a smile on my face (unless it's you-know-who lawl).

Spill yours.

Cause this is the only "good" Rpgmaker console website

Actually, its because i like the interface and the simplicity of this site. Many other websites have so many things to do and so much stuff. It could get overwhelming for a new person. Here its "You get what you see".

I like the people here, everyone is willing to help and contribute.

also a little bit of what DE said.

I barely come here now. I guess I come back from old habits.

You just said it ^^
Stress-free and that lack of drama makes this place light-hearted and pleasant.
Bunches of people + crazyness = bunches of people + crazyness. What else could you expect?
And we're different, and that's what makes it really interesting.

And a few other personal things. Like, english training. =P I gotta admit, but sticking around here has made my english improve. A nice bonus. ^^ And it's interesting to get in contact with a different culture.
And it's always nice to have someone you can share your opinions about games, webcomics, and books with. Because in the 'outside world' I live in, the only people with those interests are a bunch of hopeless idiots with no notion of life whatsoever.

i AM a hopeless idiot.

^___^

i'm here because i have friends here who make it worth being here.

If you want an analogy for the way this place is to me? I'll use one that's been used around here before; it's like sitting in a coffee shop on a cold day. The windows are steamed up with the warmth of the place, you've got a cup of coffee and generally good conversation. It's nice.

And if you think that's stupid, screw you. ^^

Cause I'm one of the bosses here, thus I have control over people and all people can dois watch... and b*tch.

lol. I'm just kidding. I like being here for no particular reason. Just fun to talk to people about anything.

Damn you Regal, with your analogies and kitty faces. xD

Though I disagree with your metaphor. For me it's the exact opposite: it's like sitting in a cool cafe in a hot day. Which, with air-conditionate and the temperatures out there, is mostly the case.

I guess most of us come here because the people are nice and we can have nice conversations. That's the most important thing.

haha, i can't help but think that's the same analogy only you just... inverted the temperatures.

XD

i assume it's because over here, the world is generally rainy, cold and boring. wheras i suppose for you it's more sunny, warm and... iunno.

tbh, this entire post was a pretext so i can do the following;

^_______________^

hehehe

yeh, interesting cultural difference.
yay for mag coffee shop ^^
I don't know why I like it here.. just do. It's good people and good place. out of all the forums i'm on.. this is the only one i come to regularily, even before i had all these... responsibilities and stuff ...
^__^

Answer: This place is my social life.

Well, I am the cousin of the creator of this site, so I come here partially for family support.

Additionally, this place is so welcoming. Sure, we may get a noob here every now and then, but I strongly feel that the administrators and moderators handle drama and other dilemmas we have here very quickly and very fairly. There's so much ambience here, and we strongly stray from the internet bully stereotype.

Because i'm comfortable in this forum.The previous forum i used to go to isn't really fitting me.Plus, i like RPGMaking.

Oh, and the people here are whacky and they like make me laugh and stuff.It's always good to have a bunch of people entertain you ^0^

I don't know how weird will this sound, but I like you guys, even if I still don't know you well enough.
I've been going to another forum for almost 6 years, and I liked it in there. But the forums grew so large that it lost the sense of a community I see here. And while there might be some difference in opinions, you somehow managed to discuss it in a very civilized manner. (I though that didn't exist on the internet )


And there is that too. I like wackyness. A lot.

Who said anything about me LIKING being here. I just do it for the paycheck.

...

=p
The cliche, but meaningful answer is that I like it here because of the members. We're a diverse group, but seem to get along in most cases. In 2002, the site started out as a kind of a hobby for me, until I started to really get to know the people here. Good friends of mine have moved on from the site before, (MoogleMan, RyanRDL, etc.) but new faces are always showing up to fill the void.

Me here, me like site, Ix special friend.

You here. You annoying. You gay.

I guess it's the cliche answer for me as well. I like it here cause it's a welcoming place with ummm...interesting people. Had to think of a fitting word XD

And so much more I guess. For one, I have a good friend here and that keeps me coming back. I also see things here that I don't see often in other places. Community, a willingness to try, and a bit more acceptance then one would imagine. Of course the goofy, crazy part is a bonus

Well, I first game to use the Mag as an avenue to get some work from RM out and about. Which is probably true for most of the stuido owners...

But over the year is honestly has become so much more. I've befriended people here, people who are irreplaceable. And I find it interesting that those people are of whom I've never met in person. Though I guess that's trivial.

<cliche>

I guess it's like we are a family. And as such, we have our times of ups and downs. I mean, everyone remembers what we aptly named "the Golden Age of Newbies" right? Kind of a dull time, not much going on, and stuff.

But we take the good with the bad. Because whatever slump we go through, it always gets better. And we wouldn't be what we are if we didn't make it though those times... I guess.

</cliche>

But I think Regal best stated it with his colorful coffee shop analogy. ^_^

Community. That's why I'm here
