Why do we Post?

So why DO we post on these forums?
There is no financial gain that I know of. Maybe a sense of community or belonging.
Are we inherently herd animals who cannot stand being 'alone' or do we just like ragging and talking without the added responsibility of answering every time were spoken to?

Maybe itâ€™s because we want to communicate with others, have a little fun, pick up on some tips, and push work aside for a little while...

That is a very good question.The reason i post is to get a more mformative view of things in the IT field and to have fun making friend

The other reason ipost is to be someone who is labeled in a bad way.I feel at home in a ring of people who have the same interests as me

I agree with AMDretard. Post 'cos u peeps share my interests and love PC's etc. Community where we feel at home.....

We post to serve, honour and help. Err, or we have no lives.
It is one of the two, I can't really tell which one though

to serve, honour and help who? if all of us just do that, no1 is asking something.

It's something entertaining to do to relieve the occasional boredom of work

Conversation, even online, is always fun!

Some of us post because we are delusional, we think that the forum elevates our status into something that we are not.
Others post because it gives them a feeling of comfort, a feeling of being, that they interacting with like minded people.
Others post to improve their perceived self-esteem.

like to see that number on the left keep ticking

Some because interaction and the collecting of knowledge is an all-consuming force.
Others have multiple personality disorders and using a pseudonym for them is advantageous.
Some double post because they suffer from Alzheimerâ€™s or oncoming senility or are just plain careless.
Others just enjoy the relaxation and bonhomie found on this site, but most of post because we are plain cuckoo!

It's a lifestyle. It beats work anyway. You either post or you don't.

Dakes · Post by **Dakes** » 27 May 2004, 17:26

I concur with all the folks. It's a great way to kill a few minutes. That's why I usually post in the 'The answer a question with a question game' thread

droplet · Post by **droplet** » 28 May 2004, 05:52

one more post looking for conversation... hello? hello? oh dear, it looks as if noone's awake yet. oh well, back to the sartre and kierkegaard.
