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.

Interesting question...

I suppose I post to get my thoughts out there regarding certain topics and subjects, some of which I do feel strongly about. And see how horribly wrong I am how other people react to my sometimes random opinions.

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 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

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.

Normally it is because I have nothing to do, or because I several things to due but I alternate between them and just put more of my energy coming here, but that's usually it.

A lot of times it is also because I find posting to be fun, and even lurking.

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. .__.;

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

Well I enjoy posting for 2 reasons. I usually learn something from posting. For example, I learned about pokepets from looking at someones signature.

The second reason is I really enjoy posting. I feel part of a group when I post. Like we are all having one big conversation and we dont get upset if somebody decides to drop in and put their opinion or thoughts in.

To get views for my dragon eggs. One can tell when I need views by how quickly my posting speed picks up. I didn't post for a while, and now I post quite often.

Well, that and posting is a good way for me to relax from the stress of work. Also, posting allows me to communicate with people in some way, and that's always a plus.

I don't think my answer to this is complete, and I think it's not all the reasons there are, but the main reason I post is because I really do enjoy posting.

A great part of it is, I like to know other people's take on a matter, and I like to talk with people in the first place because I'm just friendly.
Posting allows me to communicate in a different way.
In the end, it also allows me to find people with similarities to my own self, and opening new possibilities to make friends.
Yeah, my friendliness can get creepily deep and meaningless, lol.

It feels good when topics do feel like a big conversation anyways.
I also do learn new things at times, but that is not that strong of a reason, because it really doesn't matter much to me.

Yeah, I like the "reach out and touch someone" sense that someone mentioned.
And I have endless things to say whether anyone cares about them or not, because I still feel a strange kind of happiness from it, lol.
