If you feel like answering this, you must post. Isn't that right?

Hello everyone.
I guess you already read the title of this thread. The question is: Why do you post in forums anyways?

I'll be answering later on for my part.

It's interesting to talk to other people about subjects that you can't really talk to anyone about in real life (ie. Pokémon). That and forums are a good way to waste time. I usually go on when I'm putting off doing homework or I'm on school holidays (ie. now) and I've got nothing to do. Also you learn lots of new things. Basically the same reason I talk to my friends on Facebook or texting or whatever after school even when I just talked to them. It's entertaining.

Oh, 'cause I'm bored and got nothing better to do.

I guess this is only temporary, until HG/SS games has been released in English. Or I'll go to Pokemon forums.

Mainly to express my ideas and comments about certain topics and subjects, which may help other people. We may argue, but it sometimes settle to a certain point when we all agree to something.

To see what kind of reaction my words generate. Not in a science experiment kind of way, but in a reach-out-and-touch-someone sense.

I've thought about it a number of times in the past and I still don't know why I'm here. I'm not bored, I certainly have more worthwhile things to be doing, but instead I'm here. ._.;

I usually post if I have something relevant to say. Unless of course, I'm trying to be friendly in a social thread. Other than that, I love to read so that may be a contributing factor. And to express my thoughts on a particular subject or defend my beliefs or theories.

I also try to psychologically analyze people by the way they post. XD

Went said:

I have always been a lurker. I read stuff and sometimes I feel like adding my own thoughts to the current conversations. That's why I don't post as much as I could, anyway XD

There are some forums where I can go to read for hours and where I barely have any posts at all. Because I pretty much enjoy reading stuff.

I have sort of the same reason's as this guy, I ain't much of a poster, also, I just like to learn of people's interests and try to share my own, well, I've still got a ways to go with that yet.

when i'm really very bored or when i think of it and can be assed. mostly i get to the index page and give up.

I am a busy body that pokes her nose were it doesn't belong

I just have so many things to say. Whether anyone cares to read what I have to say or not its just nice to get it all out there.
Plus I find posting fun!

Because I just want to. Is that not good enough for you? :p

I need to post in more places where I can discuss. I love posting in OVP but it feels one-way here most of the time. .__.;

Because I like to post and say what I think.

I want people to react to my messages so I tend to like/post prerogative messages.
