basically rehashing mallory's thread

do your think your time on pc has been 'worth it'? talk about whatever you want in relation to the question

 

[Thepokefansophia]

I think it has.
I met a lot of cool and funny people on discord and I made friends with people who share the same interests as me.

 

[User19sq]

I do feel my time here is worth it. It's a nice place with friendly people and a user-friendly and not-at-all confusing user interface.

Compared to the sinfest I partook in over at Bulbagarden years ago, I love this place. The only drama and flaming I find is over at the political discussions. XDDDDD

 

[Apotheosis]

It taught me English and gave me a boyfriend. I can probably leave this site now, what more do I need really? :D

 

[Kikaito plush]

Think it has be worth my time.

 

[Cay]

hell ya. id probably be pretty different if i wasnt here rn.

 

[Somewhere_]

i enjoy posting on the forums and made some awesome friends, some of which I Skype or chat with regularly.

I really need to get on Discord. It sounds like everyone really likes it.

but i do spend a little too much time on here

 

[Bobbylicious]

Not rly considering I was banned for like a year for no reason and have no friends

 

[Alex]

ya i mean i learned a lot about myself here. i had my whole angsty teenage shit go on here and with people i met here. then i kind of stepped away from this place and now im back cos i like it here

 

[starseed galaxy auticorn]

Yes, I do. PC has taught me a lot of things. If it wasn't for coming here, I never would have learned the value of love and friendship over the years. I've been off and on the past few years because of things that happened... but I feel more confident lately. So, I decided to stay and have enjoyed it even more since then.

 

[Sydian]

Yeah. I learned a lot about myself here. And I learned a lot about other people through here that I would have never learned from other people in a place like Alabama. Being here and being a part of staff have given me some skills as well, I would like to think. Dealing with unruly members and dealing with annoying customers are basically the same things, right?

But in all seriousness, despite some of the utter shit I have been through in my time here, yeah. It's been worth it. One of my longest standing friendships is from here and I've got plenty of others that are climbing that ladder as well. It's been good and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

 

[Reunilu]

Definitely. I feel like I've moved on from how my life was prior to registering onto PC (though there are some things that linger). Staying here has been easier thanks to the community and I never would be as interested in art if I didn't stay. Sure I haven't made any "friends" I could talk to so to speak, but to people here has definitely been more enjoyable than most other forums I've wandered around.

 

[pastelspectre]

i sort of do? i was on and off for the first 5 and a half years i was registered and was quite cringe worthy but now i think the short amount of time i've spent here is worth it. i've made new friends off of the forum and discord and had nice discussions with people. it's enjoyable.

 

[Pave Low]

Yeah, I guess. But probably because of how it has improved my writing skills over anything else. I joined around the age of 10, so being constantly told what I was doing wrong grammatically by older users was helpful.

 

[gimmepie]

I think it really has to be honest. I've been able to connect with so many amazing people from all over the world that I wouldn't have been able to get to know without PC and I count several of them amongst my closest friends - which I really didn't think was possible about online friendships at first. It's also been a place away from "real life" where I've been able to just forget about things bothering me and be more open about myself which I really appreciate.

Also I'm so much better at writing now myself. That's also a plus.

 

[Aquacorde]

my time here has had its ups and downs but it's never been wasted and i've never regretted it. i grew up here. this is one of the few communities i'm involved in and passionate about. i love meeting all kinds of people and learning from everyone- about them, about cultures, about things, and about myself.

 

[Lucid]

A ton of stuff I do isn't "worth it" but I don't think that makes it any less enjoyable

 

[Sirfetch’d]

PC has opened my world up a lot. I've met so many interesting people and have had a special bond with the strong LGBT community, which I do not have irl.

Yes my time has been worth it

 

[Logan]

Wouldn't change it for the world - everything happens for a reason.

 

[Bay]

Like many other folks, I've met some amazing people here. Even though some friends come and go I still cherish every friendship I made. So yes, I think it's worth it.
