Why stick to LitNet?

[muhsin]

What a fascinating?

[Pensive]

Escapism mainly. Want to have some fun. Other reason is the suggestion of books. All those threads people started about "book recommendations", I got a lot from them. The books I have read inspired from lit-net members' thoughts about them, most of them were surely great! I want to read more good books. And sometimes it feels good to discuss them.

[AimusSage]

It's the superglue! :eek:

[dramasnot6]

Look at where I'm located and tell me otherwise.

[ShoutGrace]

What a fascinating?

Could be right at it?


It's the superglue! :eek:

For me, it's the industrial strength adhesive. ;)

[Shalot]

Why stick to LitNet? It's fun. It's real. It's cheaper than therapy, less maintenance, free.

[kathycf]

For me, it's the duct tape. Duct tape and camaraderie. Oh, and books and games and fun and lots of very nice folks who make me smile.

For me, it's the duct tape. Duct tape and camaraderie. Am I the only one who thinks that 'Duct Tape and Camaraderie' would be an excellent name for the General Chat board?

[Madhuri]

For a person like me, who is more like a frog in a well, this place has given a lot of exposure, and what better way to know people across the world through this means, it is not feasible to take a world tour to meet so many people. If I had controlled myself in the beginning, I wouldnt have been here, but I didnt know what I was getting into, which I think has been good for me, as I have friends now, and I need to know how they are doing from time to time, and leaving this place without knowing all my friends will be okay is a bit difficult. That's why I stick to it. Not to mention the fun factor, which is very obvious in my case, as I am always in the general chat or games section. :D

*escapism
*killing time/procrastination
*high concentration of geeks :)
*LitNet has helped me read more and like Lit classes better

It's doubletape in my case.

Hot glue hurts. But it's a good pain.

What sort of good you're talking here, Robin?

[SummerSolstice]

Hot glue hurts. But it's a good pain.

That... made me laugh... very hard.

For me, it's finding people who spell, punctuate, and have actually heard of the books I like. One of my friends claimed she loved to read, and I was so happy... then I found out what she liked to read was corset-ripper dimestore novels. *weeps*

[Shalot]

So far, I have enjoyed my time on LitNet. Everyone has been nice so far, with the exception of those occasional trolls who come through here and start posting things that are obviously offensive. And then there are those who are more subtle.....

[Redzeppelin]

I like listening to smart people talking (and there's no shortage of them around here). I like "listening in" to people engaging in discussion over whatever strikes them. I like the camaraderie that shows up among the posters in these forums (or maybe that's just a skillful use of duct tape? :D ). I like using parallel structure.

[zanna]

Must admit, likin' games. And "Ducttape and Camaraderie" would be a great chat . . . my friend would probably come for that, she likes to make things out of ducttape.
I think I'm stuck due to an inverse propotionality between the amount of homework I have and how soon it needs to be done. The more homework, due really dang soon, means I stay up until twelve associating words . . . :) Oh well. :) Y'all are too cool to leave.

[muhsin]

What a fascinating?

I didn't intend to post this thread like this- too scanty, I suspect. But fortunetly (or unfortunetely?) it just went and later decided to leave it like that because of my time that had ran down, almost finishing. And to my surprise, when I came back, I see plenty of rsponses afterward.Its perhaphs short to many I know but quite precise. What a real fascinating this Site is? I like it and its members entirely. You are all wonderful, doyen, reasonable and all other good quality of human you do posses it.

Thanks and may oneday we're gonna have a meeting which all of us will be present and will again see (maybe hug) one another.:thumbs_up :thumbs_up :thumbs_up

[Koa]

these days it's all about procrastination to me... :(
and not to let go on something i've been part of, even if i don't know so many of the newbies now, as i come here less frequently and pay less attention...

That would be grade A awesome!

I came for the Orwell...but stayed for the friendship...and ocourse holdin me here be the anchor o the best crewed ship to e'er sale!

[Laindessiel]

I never would've thought of joining a forum on literature, it's more of Toni's thing; true enough, she got here first and seeing how fun it is here, I was so excited about joining that the day before I became a member, I started posting using Toni's name until I got mine! http://www.websmileys.com/sm/dressed/bek095.gif

And here are the reasons why:

1. Uncle Virg excited me. He's actually the reason why I browsed in this forum.

2. I think it made me smarter.

3. People here don't use offensive words.

4. The creative Games.

5. The interesting topics.

6. The intelligible people.

7. The smart people.

8. The nice people.

9. The friendly people.

10. My Uncles.

And I hope LitNet lives on til after we see each other face-to-face! I like that idea! http://www.websmileys.com/sm/dressed/bek099.gif

[Poetess]

Lain, who are your uncles?

[RobinHood3000]

Virg and Pen, if memory serves, though as Pen's brother, I think I technically qualify.

[Laindessiel]

Oh Poetess, I meant my VIRTUAL UNCLES. My lovey dovey Uncles - Pen and Virg...http://www.websmileys.com/sm/love/715.gif

[Lily Adams]

Because of the elevated conversations I can have with fellow book nerds. I don't think you can find that anywhere else. Everyone is also so very nice here, and new members (or any other members, for that matter) don't get ignored like on other forums.

[Scheherazade]

6. The intelligible people.

7. The smart people.

8. The nice people.

9. The friendly people.

10. My Uncles.
One cannot help wondering which one of those group s/he belongs to (if any, needless to say) or whether it is possible to belong to more than one group!

:p

[mtpspur]

These forums have become a bit of relaxation from the mundane day to day routine of my life. A chance to learn perspectives, balance, compassion and humbling as well as some strengthening of some of my beliefs/idiosyncracies. A chance to be myself, warts and all and be welcomed, noticed/unnoticed, tolerated and encouraged/discourgaged and yet never totally rejected -- after all these years I still have high school nightmares, (along with certain three Air Force ones that seem to rotate every week or so) and a horror of exclusive cliques. Heres thanks to the warm-hearted members here and you the comfort you probably don't realize you give me.

P.S.--To Robinhood my favorite bowman is finally back to comicbook life. Unless Bendis is setting me up again.

[muhsin]

Great! We share same hope here!

Do you also know Lain Robin? YYou seem to have known his uncles since in other threads.


Oh Poetess, I meant my VIRTUAL UNCLES. My lovey dovey Uncles - Pen and Virg...http://www.websmileys.com/sm/love/715.gif

Are you from same country? And is Toni your real uncle?

Why not seeking lovers also? Its reveals that they hate you....lol:lol:

[Poetess]

^^ They = Lovers hate me?
No! They all love me, and I hate it. This is why I ask them to Hate me!

No groups there, Scher. You are all just a bunch of those intelligible, nice , smart and friendly people. Do we need to have phylums here? http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/frech/h030.gif

Muhsin! You've got everything mixed up! Toni is my younger sister in real-life. Virgil and Pendragon are members in this forum whom I have grown very fond of, that's why I call them my Uncles. Ofcourse, they can't be blood-related to me: both of them are Westerners. And Robin, treating Uncle Pendragon as his big brother, as he says, technically can be my Uncle too, because they're brothers. Gets, Muhsin? http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/frech/c045.gif

[Poetess]

Now I got it :D

[muhsin]

Oh sorry Lain. You know due to my poor English, I very often use to get things upside-down not unless I read and reread it.
Thanks for that clarification.:crash:

[OZEED]

The Free coffee....that reminds me *refill*

[Laindessiel]

Free coffee? Internet cafe, Oz?

Nope, you are not alone! :)


Hot glue hurts. But it's a good pain.

Oh, Robin, didn't know you were "that" kind of guy ;) (Makes it all the more fun! :D)

I drop in here to calm myself after spending time with ignorants...

[kathycf]

I must agree with you there...:lol: (but you knew I wouldn't disagree!)

[Laindessiel]

Hey, no apologies! And don't hammer yourself with that smiley's crasher. :brow: ;)

[ktd222]

Surprise! How wonderfull this site does work.

[muhsin]

I got it right now, my dear.

[RobinHood3000]

Oh, Robin, didn't know you were "that" kind of guy ;) (Makes it all the more fun! :D)You have no idea. :cool:

[Shannanigan]

You have no idea. :cool:

I have many reasons I stick with LitNet, and one of those reasons is Robin :D

I know you had a good date recently, Robin, I hope you have more to come. You deserve them! ;)

[Shadowsarin]

I got banned from my old stomping grounds a while ago, accidentally came across this place when looking for stuff about Wuthering Heights for some English work, thought what the hell and signed up.

I'm still here so far, so who knows...

[Nightshade]

Lol:lol:
Do you really mean it? I'm surprised.

[muhsin]

Ouch! Two days some other discussion forums abducted our people! I'm a bit perplexed about such happenings. Do you too consider that? Why not stick?

I don't get you right. Can you elaborate a bit more, please?

[Serenata]

I don't get you right. Can you elaborate a bit more, please?

I'm still in high school, surrounded by people who only seem to want to talk about the recent fashion doohickey, or party they went to, or who they slept with.

Not really an intelligent conversation. Here, there is silliness, but at the same time, it has a more mature feel to it.

Ahh, so you live in the Land of the Ignorant as well? :p ;)

[muhsin]

Hello there,

Am back from a quite short Sallah vacation but I, in some ways, gather that some of our good forumites haven't yet come back from...I don't know. Wish you do not desert our good forum and you will come back to continue making it alive, up-to-date, etc.

Don't understand well. Do you mean here there are no such people and so they leave to meet up with them somewhere else? Or you actually mean otherwise?
