just curious as to the reasons people have for frequently visiting, and posting on, this site.
personally i took a glance at the spirituality & religion forum... couldn't help myself from then on.
what about you guys? (or gals?)
In order to give everyone here the benefit of my wisdom.
I followed some friends from the dying and now defunct Abuzz. a2k is the best forum site I have been on.
The same reason as Edgar. When I joined Abuzz, I was a computer "newbie", and was immediately "hooked".
Boredom, to learn things, to be entertained, to tell people what I think, to get opinions, to ask questions,to push buttons.

Boy, doesn't time fly when you are having fun! 
time really flies when you are in a coma.
typed a question into google and ended up here
the rest, as they say, is history
To find a bf. So far no luck...
I had received an invitation to do so.
Call me George...
Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a
damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily
pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every
funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper
hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from
deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's
hats off - then, I account it high time to get to A2K as soon as I can.
I desired a world stage on which to act like an a$$hole....
Honestly? I was lonely. My hubby was working these insane hours and I didn't have any close friends (closest one lived 1 hour away). So I joined and instantly loved it.
Because I had something to say.
After reading several threads as an anonymous guest I thought this seemed like a thoughtful place with lots of smart and funny people contributing. It made me want to join and find out more.
Sometimes I have a lot of time on my hands. A2K was suggested to me as something I might really enjoy. I had never been to a forum and at first thought you were all nuts. And what's with the goofy avatars? Over the last 6 (?) months I've learned to appreciate most of you (even the posters I violently disagree with [but only in my head -- I'm still being polite, give me some time]). I really like that there is dissension and opinions from around the world. Makes me think. And that's a good thing
I usually have some "down time" during the day. So I joined a2k. It helps keep me sharp.

This was my first visit to a forum and now I can't seem to stay away.
