Why are we so addicted to aoaforums.com?

[Got EpOx]

It seems that this site is the most popular website i visit these days, i guess it's because i enjoy posting comments and seeing what other people think. What do you guys think?

I'd say that the majority of people who come and stay here actually have something intelligent to stay and the mood is always light. People here are thoughtful and considerate. Saying something here that people may not agree with doesn't generally start a flame war but instead a good discussion of the merits of the statement.

Plus the people who frequent these forums know a heck of a lot more about computers than I do. I've never asked a question here that has gone unanswerd in as much detail as I required. People here are always ready and willing to help.

I think it's the colours, a bit like how supermarkets and shopping centres are designed to keep you walking round, I reckon the colours and layouts are such that you find your self just sat looking at them and every so often you think 'heck I'll answer a post'. Or is that just me?

[Exile69]

I think that's just you, Graham. I'd have to agree with fantomfreq completely.

If it's just you, then it's just me too!!

Yeah i can relate to the flame wars part heh heh even new people aren't shuned away because they don't know any better at the time. Iv'e just found this the best online community iv'e been apart of not sure how to explain it, it just is.

Iv'e also never had so many posts anywhere else so that might say something, and no im not a spammer heh

I've only been coming here since April 2005 and i've already clocked up 334 posts.

I'm here b/c i will always get a post within or less than 24hrs, and if i ask a question that i think is stupid but i cant figure out my problem you guys will still help and not complain and say something like, you retard you should know that.

[Got EpOx]

Yeah they're nice like that.

Sorry dude, I just couldn't resist.

[Got EpOx]

It's a simple question but not everyone comes here for the same reasons.

[piccoLEW]

aoa forums > other places

[Got EpOx]

Well put piccoLEW.

[devilmyarse]

Yeah i come here because the help is always there, and there are some REALLY knowledgable people here! DSIO is a life saver when it comes to nVidia solutions. Plus it's good to just have a bit of a chat with people and post random stuff in the nonsense board!

[Got EpOx]

That's the reasons i come here really. GrahamGarside knows alot about all things motherboards and general hardware, Dsio is good for Nvidia, Aedan is good for all things very technical and the others are good for the odd things they have missed.

[aghastpumpkin]

Don't forget me. I'm good at everything!
I like AOA because I'm accepted for who I am, and if I say something stupid, it's usually ignored so it doesn't become an issue!
I don't think I'm addicted. I tend to only psot when I feel relevant need. Plus I have a social life.
I sometimes sound like Simon Cowell. I have to say, I was in tears of laughter when watching a bit of X-Factor.
"Everybody today has been a complete nutter."
I agree with his thinking as well.
"Why do they come here? They can't sing, their crap at it. Why don't they find something their good at?"
Here we go, off on another tangent!.....sorry!
