Why did you start visiting the first one you did?
It happened to be associated with Diablo 2, a game that I spent the better part of two years playing.
What exactly stimulated you to start posting/browsing regularly?
U GIEV SOJ? ^______^ (Trading items, giving and getting advice, etc). Eventually it turned into just awesome people.
What is it about TFP that keeps you coming back?
It is the nicest and most learned board I've yet to encounter.
What draws you to any other boards you regularly visit?
People. I'm an internet whore.
Are you a lurker? Do you almost always feel motivated to give your opinion? Do you post about everything?
I used to post about everything. I now only post if something really piques my interest, someone really twangs my doodle with a comment they make, or I think I'm making a super hilarious post.
What benefits have you gotten from being around message boards?
I've met a person or two, I am well-informed on computer technology largely through asking people on message boards, and they give me a much wider breadth of people with which I've interacted than I could possibly achieve in the material world.
