As as member of Anandtech...what keeps you here?

[alkemyst]

Perk said I would be next in line for moderator/admin

You may have misunderstood that slightly.

It's the mod train getting ran on you, not taking you into it's secret society.

Better lube up...

 

[FoBoT]

I was told there would be cake.

The ladies.

i miss the old days. too many trolls allowed to run around on the forum. FS/T used to be a lot better.

and i miss m4h.

Maybe its because trolling wasn't a thing then. People get called trolls who aren't even trolling now. Maybe you just got uptight.

 

[waggy]

Open bar in the mod forums.

<hiccup>

..to many jokes to much bannage heh.

Honesty, few things:

1. I like the general culture here. It's not super uptight with an iron fist (unlike teamliquid.net), and it's not retarded all the way. It's a place I can ask/learn about most general things- career, what song is this, movie recommendations, etc.

2. Unlike reddit or other places, the age group doesn't seem to be all teens to 20s. I'm 30 and it looks like most people are closer to my age, which is good for my prior point.

3. I'm sure there are lots of other boards with similar or even better culture. I just don't know enough. Maybe some can recommend?

I cannot recommend a better board, no other is close in my experience. This is very broad, it is moderated but by and large the freedom is terrific. Threads get locked seems to me pretty much because they deserve it. They aren't uptight about "bad" words, I can speak my mind, that's the bottom line. There are a lot of educated, highly educated, some very witty folks.

Came here since AT is one of the good sites I can get on while at work and now I stay for the lulz. I finally went through the entire Jesus middle name thread a few days ago. That has some good stuff in it.

I'm gonna have to check that one out. There's more than one plug for that thread in this 'n.

Recurring need to find bulk beef online.

Oh, I saw some off HWY 101 in Marin county.

They're just jealous that you live in the only civilized state in the nation.

I think that ATOT is by far the nastiest forum. Sometimes you have to have a thick skin. Easily said, I know.

[KidNiki1]

[highland145]

[RossMAN]

Because it is the Internet's most elite congregation of ballers, rockstars, smart shoppers, the literary elite, music theorists, critical film analysts, Wall Street warlords, mechanical gurus, bulk beef experts, beer aficionados, armchair warriors, world policy architects, international playboys, theoretical physicists, mathematical prodigies and retired Formula 1 drivers.

And the lulz.

LOL this.

 

[Fritzo]

I stay here for necroed threads.

 

[rasczak]

I feel sad this thread is alive.

 

[WelshBloke]

Yay!!!

love and cookies are so awesome! :wub::wub::wub:

Just not at the same time, the crumbs chaff.

Love and cupcakes at the same time works though.

 

[sixone]

Because so many of you make me feel like a genius.

 

[WelshBloke]

And the goat porn.

...

Wait... We have a goat porn sub forum?

 

[alkemyst]

Well maybe you should stop fingering fat chicks while they have their period.

If your mom was more open about that time of the month...
