For me, it’s been six years that I’ve been on this site, and I try to do this every year to see how many respond.

How long have you been on here and what is it that that keeps you on this site?

It'll be 13 years soon since I started using MAL, and I still stay here kind of just out of habit

It is one of the few places I can communicate with my friend Auroraloose, with our relationship being a mixture of platonic aloofness and barely restrained feelings of pseudo-incestuous passion.

I had my 10th anniversary last year. I don't watch seasonals and since I'm getting older I think I will stop as soon as my ptw is emptied

2 more months, and It'll be 7 years since I blessed this site with my presence. :3

(Although, it would really be just my one year anniversary since I've only been actively using this site since last year, lol)

So, I'm not that old member here. I'm mainly here to keep track on my anime. It's obviously the most important feature on this site.

My second MAL birthday is just around the corner, but I can see myself one day opening a new thread to celebrate my 10/15th MAL birthday. We'll see what's what.

Coming up to 16 years in July. I mostly just come here because it's one of 4 or 5 websites on the entire internet that is even remotely entertaining. I stress the word 'remotely'.

But then I saw people who have been here for 13 years and now I just want to go outside and touch grass.

Four years, but I'm not really active on here like that, so for me it doesn't really feel like such a long time, feels like only just yesterday I stumbled upon Mal.

10 years, I come and go with how my free time work. I guess keeping track was my original idea but I've fallen out a lot due to multiple time where all I was doing was work.

I'm going for 4 years at the end of this year. Kewl

I don't see myself becoming an active long term user, especially with the influx of normies these days and how much they've changed the site and its culture (from what I've seen on here and other sites that keep growing in numbers, why else did I stop using Newgrounds?).

Just when users see someone like me who joined in 2008, and they think MAL is the only site I keep active at.

Well... that's not the whole truth.

I wasted years between 2008 and 2012 focusing on forums like Vegapunk and INP, so I was barely here in MAL from 2008 to 2012.

That until Vegapunk shutdown in 2010, INP shutdown in 2012.

Hmm, I use this site consistently for about 7 years and without an account until 3,5 years ago. This site is curing my boredom, haha. Also keeps in track what I watch.

This's my profile
This's my anime list

Made a profile last year but I've been reading all the info, news and forum posts here since 2008..
I found so many people like myself, I should have opened an account here sooner

I have been here now from 5 Years and currently my 6th year in mal is going on, it's a good site to catch up to anime and list them cause ppl forgets what they watch, so it's good for tracking anime. Gonna use mal for atleast another 2 years

I use this site mostly for forums, I actually didn't use any forum before opening my mal account

forums can be fun and I'm sad they aren't that popular anymore
