Sticking with a site, e.g., this one
- Thread starter Naira
- Start date
Other than my local Freecycle, CivFanatics is also my oldest and longest-running internet home.The forum or website I've been visiting most is the Civilization Fanatics Forums. I've been a member there since 2003, and like here read there daily even if I don't post a lot. It helps that it has a global audience with a lot of different viewpoints, and the people there discuss issues of interest to me -- history, economics, politics, and philosophy. I started there when I bought Civilization III back in the day.
TrekBBS I think I found after watching Trekkies and wanting to connect to other Trek fans. I was envious.What's kept me around the longest is actually the caption contests. There was a point when we had them going for every show, both movie forums, AND the TrekLit forum (somehow). I didn't realize I've been here since 2005; I'm coming up on ten years!
I lurked here at TrekBBS for awhile before joining, and there were a couple of extended absences. It's never been boring, though.
Same. The only other site that I have been with for a long time is Facebook, and that's only since 2009. I've been here since 2003.
Ugh, why don't we have an "old man" smilie?
This was the first online community I joined - in 2000 
- and it's the only one (other than LJ, which I joined four years later) that I've stuck with or that has held any sort of long-term appeal for me. Every other board I joined was boring, cliquish, inactive, didn't keep my attention (or some combination of those) or ceased to exist. Other than a handful of news sites this and LJ are the sites I've been visiting the longest.
I joined up here to discuss Trek and Babylon 5 and have stayed for (a number of) the people I've met here, either virtually or in so-called "real" life. Having said that, if I hadn't discovered the lounges I doubt I'd still be here.

Been here since early 2002. It's a long time. Now it's mainly to hang out with friends. Don't talk about trek much anymore. Now it's only facebook and here, as all other sites I no longer post at, or look at.
I'm a member since 2004 and this board is pretty much one of my main sites because it covers most of my interests.
I came for Star Trek but stayed for the variety of areas that are discussed here. It broadened my horizon considerably and especially TNZ made me a US politics expert as far as my friends are concerned (they also call this board my "american friends" board).
I visit here multiple times a day when i have time, read up on some stuff and enjoy TNZ the most (i would just prefer more sane and intelligent conservative posters there with whom a good discussion would be possible).

We don't because your creep factor radiates enough without it.
I've stuck to guild forums from WoW. At first for one then another when I changed faction from Alliance to Horde. I visited them to write stories, read stories, keep myself updated on guild RP etc. In my first guild forum I didn't visit for anything other than writing and reading stories or showing and looking at drawings. In the second one I started caring about the people.
I visit a very friendly dog forum several times a week, and have done so for a year now. I visit this forum for the dog pictures, dog stories and advice.
I also visit a budgie forum, for pictures and videos.
And finally, there is this forum where i mostly read interesting discussions and funny stories. I also like lurking in the misc thread. There are a lot of smart, interesting and funny people on here, but i mostly come here for the Trek discussions and pictures of cool things.

Exactly my story as well.
Same here.
You are the smart people. I spent an eternity's pit of time in the Official forums of WoW hahaha
I swear every thread I posted in ended up deleted. I am not big on staying on topic..
My threads ended in ruin on WoW's forums but not deleted to my knowledge.

Yay! I found it.
I found this site looking for information on Enterprise and immediately discovered there are people who will watch every episode of a TV show they hate for years on end just to complain about it seven days a week on the internet. 
Still here for some of the people I chat with, even though a lot have stopped logging in over the years, like Jetfire, Daneel and Jack Bauer.

I've been coming here for a few years.
I spend a lot of time on Gallifrey Base and also on a small forum I run for enthusiasts of the Jon Pertwee Recipe Book, or "Recipe ****ers", as they prefer to be known.

Are you Gilda? omg..
I was once banned from there for defending furries. Thankfully I wasn't banned from the game itself
Ugh, the pull of Azeroth.. and you know that is what kept me away from Trekbbs for like 10 months. But I won't make that mistake again, better conversation here than the Barrens heh.
I'm in Guild Wars 2 now anyway. No sub fee, looks great. BEAUTIFUL WOMEN TayLa, many beautiful women..
