Why Are You Still Even Here?

I'd say posting useless sjit in the lounge sound right

I'm still here because I enjoy looking at the avatars, for example gunnels' cute little blue-eyed, yellow kitty, and Plankton's tiny shrimp who just keeps swimming, swimming, swimming.

Also, I return to MusicBanter because I am in secret competition with chard (he doesn't know about it): for three years now, I have been craftily plotting and planning my posts so that my songwriting collection will hopefully, some glorious day, get more views than his songwriting journal! I think it may take two more years or so until I overtake him, but I am patient. I'm in this for the long haul.

It's actually a spider/tick(?) with electrical powers.

Anyway, the main reason why I come here is because I enjoy looking in "Last album you bought/downloaded" and "Albums You're Digging II", since people usually post some pretty good albums in there. I'd participate more, but I didn't have the time to come on here as often as I wanted in the last few months. I've been trying to post more in the past few days, however.

Okay, I'll answer (more) seriously this time.

Like Lisnaholic, I agree with Bloozcrooz, whose description matches how I feel about MusicBanter during my favorite times here:

Interacting with friendly people as we discuss music inspires me to explore and enjoy music even more than I do by myself. I also love the chance to learn about a wide range of subjects and people new to me, broadening my horizons far beyond my own roost.

For example, if Queen Chrysalis of the Changelings had not mentioned the following...

...I would never have known who the mite-like Pokémon character Joltik is! Joltik are the smallest known Pokémon. They absorb static electricity. City-dwelling Joltik have learned to suck electricity from outlets!

See, if not for MusicBanter, I might have gone to my ashy grave not knowing this tidbit of human culture! <-- Time well spent, I say.

Isn't useless knowledge about video games amazing?

(To be honest, I shouldn't have linked a wiki article since it seems a bit excessive. This is why I don't post when I'm tired. :/)

Edit: By the way, how did anal beads become a running gag in polls?

No no, I *liked* the link. Very useful. Now I can impress the elementary school kids at the school where I volunteer by knowing such trivia.

Another example of how MusicBanter complements 3D life.

(I also learned about anal beads thanks to MusicBanter, but I don't know who started using them as a poll option.)

Well words wise you have exceeded him, by a thesis worth.

That's true!

Quite simply, I can't stop myself. I've tried. It's like an addiction. Honestly, it seems like it wastes my time, but I know that even if I successfully left, I'd just find another forum to waste my time in. I've been a part of forums since I was 12, it's just a part of who I am now.
