What Keeps You Coming Back?, To Createblog. Options

[S-Majere]

What keeps your interest in Createblog? Is it the social aspect - the forums? The graphics and resources? A single member or group of friends? The help and support you can get in design forums?

Why do you make that decision to log in?

I think for me it's a mix between the community we have here (face it, you all rock my socks off) and the fact that since I've started submitting here, I've learnt so much about web design.

I love how you get those members that post nothing but pleas for help in Relationships or Myspace Support, I love how the submissions queue backs up, I love how an avatar can change your perception of a poster (Spence, that Maury avy scared me) and I love sitting in front of my computer until my eyes get square and I'm seeing CSS code in my sleep.

Back in the day, it was because of the web-designing since I was still learning and there were awesome people to give you really good feedback. Then, as I got to know people, it was because of the community and the awesome members.

But now that I don't design anymore, more than half the people I knew are not here anymore, and almost everybody else seems to have a stick stuck up their ass... I really don't know why I come back. It seems that in every single topic, there's always a few snarky people who think it'd be funny to be complete assholes. If you don't agree with something or happen to think somebody's ideas are idiotic, you can say that, but there's no need to be a bitch about it.

So really... I think I just come back because the drama is a good time-killer.

But then again, there are those few people who are pretty chill, and you gotta admit... cB has its moments.

LOL, the bolded is exactly what I say about this place. It seems like the latest cB trend is to act like an ignorant a-hole about everything. Sad, really. It's even worse when people actually laugh and encourage it. They're just as stupid.

Edit: WTF? "a-hole?" I didn't write that!
