Me, I like the user base. It's a unique mixture of retards, loners, creeps, normies, doomers, degenerates and anime lovers. You won't find a user base like this on reddit.

Also, I like the randomness of the topics here on casual discussion. It can be anything from favorite shirt color to depressing existential questions.

Cuz I don't know anyone in real life who watches anime , so it's interesting to discuss some things on forums

I'm not sure myself, i guess i made it a habit to check on it everytime i update my list.

I mostly lurk, but every once in a while a post makes me feel like i have to say something (such as this one) , so i do just that.

Though I wouldn't be quite so harsh on my fellow anime fans (also shouldn't everyone on here be an anime lover? I know there are many that don't act like it, but still...)

Except I know one person who is pretty in to anime. Kind of different taste though and we don't get the chance to hang out much.

Yeah I have a pretty seething hatred for r/anime for a number of reasons, which relates to my next point:

Forums are my favourite form of social media by far. Twitter is close second. Then Reddit. I don't count FB.

Thing about forums is everyone is equal. When you post, it goes in to the thread at the end, and bumps the thread to the top. Every time. Or if you're starting a new thread, it again goes to the top every time. There is no lazy like or dislike feature for people to cast judgment. If you have something to say to someone you need to make a post and quote/mention to reply.

Forums are easily the best place for real discussion. There's no heiarchy of karma. And the popularity of the post doesn't make it more or less visible (to an extent, obviously if a thread isn't getting replied to as often if won't appear at the top quite as much). Forums also make long-form communication easier which is how I prefer to comunicate.

Throw in how MAL has a userbase which is about as close to a group of like-minded people to me as I'm going to get online outside of Twitter bubbles (which offer no conversation because you can't really have conversations on Twitter).

Lastly, this forum has a nice degree of customizability. There the avatar, the sig, but also the profile. And if I really want to know more about someone, I can look at thier list and compare our taste in anime.

Because I couldn't be bothered with finding a better replacement for the last community I was a part of (which is long dead at this point). Can't say you weebs have impressed me thus far, but then again, you're posting under a lot stricter rules. Still, rather underwhelming as for as entertainment value goes. My old e-homies blow you guys out of the water. E-god bless their souls.

We might have something to talk about if your former community involved 2009 era 4chan memes, and user-made softcore porn from an impressionable 16-year-old girl from Buttfuck Nowhere USA.

Take a look at my forum set and guess. One of the saltiest communities known to mankind. Now imagine a platform with really lax rules, relatively toxic culture, a massive user base filled with everything mentioned in the original post and then some. Needless to say, there was hardly ever a dull moment.

Perhaps, but did you guys have the full caps raging, hard stuck, low rank monkeys on the brink of shooting up their computers because they totally didn't deserve to lose their last few games? Now that shit was good content haha.

Yeah basically, plus the overt racism, aforementioned child porn of an at the time (2009) 16-year-old girl flashing and posing on Stickam when that site was also a thing, and probably a couple of my nudes floating around, particularly the one where I go some bread, mustard and cheese to use my dick as a sausage sandwich to impress a girl I liked.

*sigh* Good times.

Ah.
So the main reason is that I'm pretty invested in my own anime list (I kinda neglect my manga list, sadly), so while I'm here, I usually think, "Might as well check the forums". Sometimes, I'll watch an anime and browse the forums at the same time, that way when I'm done with the episode, I can just head on back to my list and update it.

I also like forums.
