| | | Poll: Why do you post/lurk at SYM?
This is a quick poll to figure out why people here post or lurk at SYM. No need for any dscussion or lengthy descriptions, just give a short and simple motivation why you are being here.
Didnt use the poll option since I could not predict what reasons people might have.
And please, post even if you usally just lurk.

| | I lurk/post/whatever it is I do here simply because I have people on the boards I like to interact with. A lot of members I used to associate with do not post near as much as they used to, but there are still enough people to keep me coming back.
oh, and I'm a hopeless flirt, so I'm kinda stuck here as long as I have people to flirt with

| | | I'm a lurker. SYM is esoteric, and I want a piece! Haha - actually, I just like to see what people are talking about or thinking about. Current events and whatnot. Plus I want a piece.

| | | SYM is the only place on the web were I've found it possible to exchange ideas, opinions and discus politics, religion and so on at one time, and in the next moment chat, socialize and joke around with various people (often much different then me). |

But seriously i like the discussions here. But something i wanted Kayless to hit on with the comparision to the DC forums, is that SYM is evolved to a more intellectual discussion and less fun forum.
That is why i tried DC and spent some time there. However since the whole war that happened, which i have no clue about i decided to stick around here insteadof DC though i stilll lurk and love the New Mens room
But basically SYM is no more fun. Its very intelligent |

I took a couple days off and everything went to hell.  The thread was deleted by it's writer (I forget who now) before I could get through more than a couple pages, so I have no clue what was said or why, just that tempers flared regarding differences between SYM and the DCI board.

| | | I am a MAJOR lurker. Unfortunately, I've tried to lay off spam, and it just ended up that I had very little to contribute other than quality spam, unless it was a very charged political thread or movie thread. And I decided to mostly lay off the politics, and there are very few movie threads around here. Still, I love the vibes of the place, so I've been checking up a couple, 3 times daily.

I am not sure at all what happened, but basically the younger spammer community moved to DCI and the rest of the older crowd stayed here. Shame really we had an excellent community. Quote: | That about sums it up. | Tell me about it. Nobody is around to spam. Its truly pathetic to think of SYM with spam. Spam your mind is what it was and what it should be. |

| | | Well, even though I'm a lost case of paranoyd delusion, I like SYM cause we can spam and discuss/read/immagine a few usefull things every day.
It makes this board so rich, but it makes it poor too.
Sometimes I miss spam. |

Also if your really bored and have nothing else to do it's a place to go

| | I have a lot of friends here, though some do not post as much as they used to, and as Xan says it is the only place I know of on the net where I can cut up, spam, or discuss/read about politics or philosophy all at once. Plus, I check in at least once per day (usually more ) because I'm a frequent user of the PM system
