I ask out of pure curiosity.
I started writing on the forums only recently because lately, with the stay at home policy, I have a lot of free time and I find that chatting with my friends who are also locked in the house, without ever having any real news, it's pretty boring after a while, so on MAL I can get a little distracted.
But I started wondering what pushes all other users to write. Boredom, making friends, to get new opinions, just why?

I do it out of boredom. I have bad concentration so constantly refreshing MAL's CD and looking for new threads is a common pastime for me.

I have always considered it a stepping stone. It may sound a bit ridiculous, but there are many useful things you can learn on MAL.

I can easily post K-pop pics and gifs on here.

But yeah, I post 'cause I'm bored. I use the internet as a way to express myself and connect with others and this place is no different in that regard

I wonder why too. Perhaps, it is to post my opinions and also to read others' too. You can learn a great deal from the knowledge of other people. Making friends here seems like another good objective to be using the forum as you make your online presence more visible as long as you keep posting. Perhaps, we are all just social creatures in nature, and we need to be at least present when others talk, perhaps, even participating, should you feel the need to do more.

But, tbh, it feels rather lacking around this forum in both objectives.

because i like posting on forums. a lot. it' s fun interacting with people on sites like this .
"I suffered all my life. No one ever truly loved me. No one ever truly cared about me. I only loved one thing in my whole life and that was Christina Menefee. But she was torn away from me. I tried to save myself with [student’s name], but she never cared for me. As it turns out, she made fun of me behind my back while we were together. And all throughout my life I was ridiculed. Always beaten, always hated. [...] I am malicious because I am miserable."

"It was not a cry for attention, it was not a cry for help. It was a scream in sheer agony [...]"

Sadly, yes. The anime community is roughly as cringe as the gaming one.

I'm glad there's still forums like these today that allow users to customize their own profile to the extend that most sites doesn't have nowadays. Forums boards like MAL are rare and I don't like that I have to be forcefully blend in crowds because society decided that most of the Internet are used 4 sites that everybody uses. (aka Instagram, Facebook, twitter, and Tik Tok) It's too centralized that I'm trying to say.

To loose my time and Spread the word of YAOI SHOTA INCEST with my username.

With that said.

I have been wasting too much time on the MAL forums these last couple of months, with today been the day that I wasted the most time on my MAL history, I would just stop commenting starting November 10th till the start of 2023. And will use this post as promise to myself.

With that time wasted on here on the forums I could have watched like 300 episodes of Anime. 🤡

.

Edit: Starting November 10th, 2022 the tentation to post on that thread was too Big.
