Favorite Thing about SO - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Zuzzy · 09-14-2004, 06:14 PM

What's your favorite thing about SO?

IMO, what separates this message board from others I've been to are the people here. For the most part, everyone's friendly. Everyone has a distinct personality, too, which makes it a lot more interesting around here.

The people. And we all communicate which each other as if we know them. Its kind of like a village instead of a message board

...and scrambled eggs!

In all honesty, the thing I like best about this place is that it allows me to get a different perspective on things. Americans and Brits always seem so different and far-removed from each other. But talking to you guys here has made me realise that that is not always necessarily the case - we do have a lot of things in common.
Also, I love how you guys - the old-schoolers, anyway - can remember me from waaay back and actually give a sh#t about my opinions. I was really genuinely touched to know that y'all missed me when I was gone.
And being the only Scot here makes me feel like some kind of VIP. My fragile ego needs some boosting and being the official Scottish member of SO does the trick nicely!

My favorite thing on Sitcoms Online are my friends and my favorite boards.

The people, the friends, the smilies.

Honestly, I'm gonna sound like everyone else, but it's the people. On IDF, I have maybe 3 or 4 CLOSE friends. Everyone else is just a teeny or not very nice. On here, there's at least 20 of you who I'd consider good friends.

Again, I'll compare to IDF... it seems more like... a place to JUST stay on topic and JUST talk about AI and JUST do stuff with that.

Here, I can talk to y'all about anything.

Stormtracker TF · 09-14-2004, 07:36 PM

Hmm, I like alot of things about SO. For one, its quite active, but its not insane. The layout is perfect, ditto with the colors of the board. The entire look of the place is the best of any board to me.

I also like how the people here have such diverse interests. It's great to have such a variety. Gotta love the crazies that come along too, like RainMan. They make the place extra interesting.

The most important part is how many friends I've made here, I've made more friends at SO than I've made any other place online, hands down.

It's great, too, how it isnt so "Totally on-topic". There's set topics people discuss on the forums, yet nobody goes crazy or even cares when someone goes off-topic. The freedom to do that is awesome. SO is also very friendly, compared to most boards out there.

Overall, this is definetly the greatest place online. I could search for years and never find a better. Even if I did, I'm so used to this place, because its so perfect, it'd be a trial getting used to a new place.. When I think of message boards, SO is what comes to mind. It would be hard getting used to posting as much at any other board.

I don't have any friends at IDF but like you said almost everyone there is a teeny, I feel out of place, but here at SO everything just seems to gel together.

Brian · 09-14-2004, 07:56 PM

I don't have too many friends outside of home. 97% of my friends are here. If it wasn't for SO, I don't know what I would do.

I've known people here who are gay/les and I must say that these people are better to talk to and get to know than those who hate them.

Some people think that if they spend too much time here or anywhere online, they feel that they don't have a life. To me, this is my life.

Todd is the friendliest and most lenient message board administrator out there. Whenever someone feels he is being too harsh or too strict, I beg to differ. He doesn't ban easily like most other admins. I've been here for over three years and these are the best message boards to go to. There isn't any other place that matches SO.

Yeah, I forgot to say that 100% of my friends are online, and about 99.9% of my real online friends are from here, SO.

Liza · 09-14-2004, 08:16 PM

Same as everybody else I guess. I've been a member for a long time, and I know a lot of people and they know me. I can talk to you guys about anything (except politics)

We did! We missed you. You better not try and disappear on us again, Missy!

Glad you're back.

What I like best about this place is my really good friends who always make me feel good, the wide variety of things to do, and that this is an all around fun and excellent place.
