What Is It That We Love About MB?

Trollheart · 08-13-2018, 10:18 AM

Many of us, myself included, have left here once or more, but with a very few exceptions we always come back. So what is it that draws us back? Is it the trolls? The drama? The friendship (

)? The actual music discussion? Or maybe a combination of all those, or even something else? What makes you keep wasting your time here, when you could be off doing something much more productive? What is it about this place that ends up like a virus in our system, an itch we can't scratch, a habit we can't kick?

I'm a lonely depressed individual, and sometimes I really just hate going out in public because I always go out and then almost immediately wanna go home. When I come here, the comfort of knowing I can come and go as I please and can converse with people that are actually pretty cool, it allows for a pretty steady flow of some sort of human interaction. Plus, the thrill of posting about stuff that you love is also a plus especially when you post with people that have some of the same opinions as you do.

On top of all that, we've all known each other for several years. Some longer than others. We've become a pretty tight knit community. So much so that when new people arrive, they do tend to find it hard to understand some of the things we do here. But we've developed a sort of basis for how you can enjoy your time here.

I've left several times, but the one things I've always missed each time I've left. It's the community driven conversation here. We all throw shade back and forth, but at the end of the day, if any of us ever needed help in any situation, I can pretty much almost guarantee that anybody would give out a helping hand. Hell, when I was venting about my job a week ago, there was good advice given, some sympathy, and it's continued to be that way with other members too. The whole Exo dropping the hammer on us was perhaps what saved this community from turning into an always toxic environment.

That's my say on it.

The forum has good discussion and many TopLads. A decent mix of left wingers and right wingers, makes for entertaining threads in current events.

Not too big so your posts disappear like a fart in the wind. Just small enough to get to know other forumistas.

Lots of info on music, lots to read and look for. I also like how there are posters from all over the world on here.

That's my take on it, cheers.

I actually like all of you drooling imbeciles. I'd even miss Elph's ****ty attitude if this place closed down.

A long while ago, I did leave for many months, but I was still feeling like an outsider at that point in time. I guess if you spend enough time in here, you're gonna develop some variant of Stockholm syndrome. Now I don't wanna leave.

You've gone way further. You're getting under his skin.

I think he'd be more offended if I called him Flea.
