Do you post on this site because you like anime or simply because you have nowhere else to post?

I post on this site mainly because there are no other good sites I could be posting on more so than the fact I like anime. Yeah, I use to like anime alot, and I use to watch it alot. But the main reason I'm posting on this site is because I just like posting on it. Yeah I know that is circular reasoning, which is flawed, but honestly I just like posting on this site because this site is cool. I barely watch any anime anymore, but I just like posting on this site, because there are no other good sites to post on.

I like anime. But if I'm on MAL, it likely means I'm answering random questions on Yahoo Answers too. I usually only get on these because I'm bored, and it's actually a decent way of killing 2-3 hours.

Because I like anime. Like most people, I initially just used MAL for the database and keeping track of things, and only later got into the forums.

Both, but more likely because there's nowhere else to post around.

I rarely talk about anime on this site. I'm just here for the community.

I also like to post here because it's considerably harder to get banned than it is on a certain other forum.

I'm a regular on another nerdy forum but the people over they're don't like animé, hence why I decided to create an account here :)

I could post on The Escapist, or argue on NPR if I wanted, there are dozens of forums I could go to, I could get involved with Deviant Art, so many options...

I like this site because people here share a common interest that often attracts certain types of personalities, so I get along well

I've also made friends here

And post count

I post here because I think I might be trapped here I really like the idea of being incredibly rude to people but never getting replied to, it's like being invisible and putting cat food in people's drinks.

I only post on forums relating to Japanese culture. fuwanovel is the other site I spend my time on. I often make recommendations to people for anime or visual novels so I would say I contribute to my communities. I used to keep up with social media sites but I find there is much more to do on sites like these

I like anime and I do like some of the users on this community, which is why I choose to post here.

Of course, I post in other places too. Anime isn't my sole interest.

I have to admit, this is the only internet forum I use actively at the moment.
I like it because it combines anime and bunch of random stuff. XD

A little bit of both. My interest in anime brought me here and boredom keeps me here.

Most of the other places have become deserted and some of the remaining, people never respond to my comments, even if its on topic or a question. I like discussion, even spamming topics, but I like it more when I can contribute to them with others.

I actually barely ever post these days. I was just bored and Crunchyroll's forums aren't really interesting me at the moment. I do like anime a lot, though I've become more jaded towards it the past year or so.
This love for Hirasawa Yui consumes me, washing over my dirty weeaboo body with a cleansing warmth that allows me to reach greater heights. It inspires me to be a better man; not the man they deserve, but the man she deserves. Yui, I love you. With everything I have. You are my one, my only. Mai waifu.

People enjoy fucking with those who enjoy stuff they hate, especially online. Pretty standard stuff.

I like anime, but

When I am on these forums its almost like I am on a really bad sitcom. I feel like I am actually a side character, a supporting character to the main characters on mal, I mean there is bad cops, good cops, prank people that come to the door, there is even guest starts and famous singers who pop up now and then.

There is even local art contests, therapists, protesters and more.

airing on a station near you!

Well, the anime love is obvious, but I have other options for posting comments other than MAL, so it's not like I have no other place to go. It's just that this place is pretty much the most active compared to the rest, so I post here more.
