If you've been here for more than 1-2 years, what keeps you coming back? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

AKA · 10-26-2003, 01:24 PM

I keep coming back because it's great to talk with people who have the same interests as I do. I've also have a group of friends here, who would hunt me down and beat me up if I left.

Also a new picture on top of the Happy Days borad would be nice

Mysty Eyes · 10-26-2003, 01:39 PM

I found this place via a reference from someone else. I don't even know if he posts here anymore; I never knew his user name.

Why do I stay?

Like Sitcoms themselves, this place is easy to come back to. The boards are entertaining, fights and all. True, I try to steer clear of the bickering because... hey, life is tough enough as it is. But all life is tainted by bickering, so... A slightly dysfunctional family, perhaps? The fighting escapes my notice for the most part.

Actually, I am one of the older folks here. I like the interaction with the younger members, even if it is simply by reading their thoughts. When I can add my "sage wisdom" (heh!), I do. That doesn't happen too often.

I also like to visit the boards for the older sitcoms, many of which I watched first-run and now see in reruns. Sometimes I can add to the flavor of the show by addressing the "current day" view of those shows.

I dunno... changing the look? Nothing too bright, please. Old eyes, y'know.

SO is my favorite website/message board/anything online. I came here because I searched for "The Facts of Life" or "The Division" and this came up. The TD board is still the main reason I come here, to learn all the news. I love watching the new people come in, and take over. I really don't think there's much that I'd change about this, TJ. I think it's great that you are so involved, though.

InspectorExstead · 10-26-2003, 02:03 PM

I keep coming back because of all the cool people on here. You've given us a chance to get together, without any hassles. i think it's great that there's so many boards, one for practically every show. it really is a lot of fun.

maybe the people who disappear for a while, are really busy. that's what it's like for me. i know this is such a clique, but, there's really not enough hours in the day for me.

i don't really think the board needs a "new face." i've gotten so used to it being the way it is. plus, there was a message board i would go to, who would completely re-do theirs every other week, and we'd all have to keep re-registering. (not fun)

Ewan's My Man · 10-26-2003, 02:23 PM

I just love these boards. Whenever I sign on the internet I always go into my favorites list and click on SitcomsOnline (it's at the top btw

) and even if I don't look around for another hour, I always haveta at LEAST have it minimized at the bottom of the screen. I have met so many people here, that actually understood my FOL obsession!!!

For the people who leave without saying goodbye, they might be having trouble making time to get on. Who knows what's going on with their lives. I know I've been having more trouble getting on here since I started high school, but I make an effort to at least get on.

I love it here. Ive been caught between fights and such, but Id never leave because of it. I first came to this board looking for Happy Days episodes and then I joined Pats Trivia. SO is my favorite place to come online, even if I complain about things sometimes

. I remember the night (Chad should too) when you were messing around with all the colors and everything. I think new colors would be nice, but keep the background neutral- I dont want to be blinded.

Ive made tons of great friends on here and I thank TJ for it.

Czas na Zywiec · 10-26-2003, 03:42 PM

The colors aren't blinding. If you remake it, keep the shades of gray. They're easiest on the eyes.

SO is such a wonderful place to be. I can post about my fave shows and make friends with other people that like the other shows I like. I originally registered to post at the Mama's Family board (THANK YOU, TJ! There's almost zero Mama's Family boards on the internet), but as time went on, I broadened my horizons and found CC and the other boards.

I don't mind the colors, but they're pretty standard, so a slight change would be nice.

ive been coming here for almost 3 years.. i dont know i just dont get sick of it

I may be gone for a few days, or not post much, but I always come back. There are a handful of people here that I've "grown close" to, and basically, it's just fun posting here.

Back when we were all in awe of Karly when she had 5,000 posts...

I think I come here only because it's addicting. Before I found S/O way back when, I was never online. Thank you for corrupting me, TJ.
