IIN is a habit for some (me) and others have been around for years. Do you see yourself commenting on IIN forever or will you eventually get a new life and move on sooner?

Sorry, you need to be signed in to comment.
In the beginning, it was all new and genuine. Now seeing the x-hundreth time the SAME question was accepted through moderation, it kind of gets boring a bit.
I tried once or twice with what i considered genuine polls/questions, and tended to get them rejected, and didn't have the motivation to even re-attempt...
(dappled, if you are reading this, feel free to try re-submitting the one we talked about...)
also, i tended to write long answers, often...or go into detail. Finding that i had no replys(neither from author nor from others and no thumbs up(or thumbs down for that matter) kind of made me think that maybe i was writing too much and people just skipped over the post, anyway. Which also kind of takes from the motivation...so ya, i'm here, but not as much as i used to be in the beginning...
(and a notification for you to boot, even if it doesn't say much ^_^).
(plus i also like your comments. I also remember in my first week when we had fun with a troll asking about vaginal blood fart competitions :) )
But I would understand if you had to leave though...
I might have to leave myself for some time soon...
Yeah, that blood fart competition troll was a pretty funny and gruesome tale XD
If you want me to, though, I will. Just say the word and I'll do it. :)
you have IIN gold, if you want, snatch it from unmoderated, because if it doesn't get through again, i'll pass it on to you ^_^
I can be very persistent when I care about something. :)
Tag dappled. Really, i think it's a randomized process, looking at other "new stuff" approved.
And then there's the story of yours which I think is perfectly valid. I want to see it get through and I think it would be one of those that gets a hundred responses within 24 hours as people will want to comment on it. How would you feel if we leave it for a week and then, next weekend, I try posting it word-for-word as myself? If that still doesn't get through, I'll write it myself in my own words and see how that fares.
I really want to see it get through and, like I said in another post, I can be very determined when I care about something.
The site is very easy to leave though. I went a few months without thinking about this place. The only reason I came back was because I had a lot of time to kill, which inevitably led me to read the new polls/stories and their comments. I wasn't planning on coming back, but someone said something funny and I just had to comment. It feels good to be back, the place seems a lot nicer. Although I have no idea how long it will last. I don't get notifications very often, and notifications are one of the biggest reasons I come to this site. Having nothing to read is boring. So my answer is: when I'm more bored here than I am not here.
It's so nice to finally be able to strongly relate to someone {in terms of this site}. You seem like a calm and gentle person who really cares and is genuinely honest.
I just gave you a notification. You're welcome ;)
Here's another notification.
Of course I'm not one of them. But who cares? Apparently, you do.
This post was sponsored by Apple. Steve Jobs haunts your dreams with his shiny silver products, a glowing white apple in his mouth. BOO!
Anyway, when I get my job I won't have much time for IIN. Which will be in a couple of months from now. I can't wait!
aka never.
It's just you don't seem to have considered that there may be positive reasons for spending time on the site.
I like (most of) the community. I'd imagine it is a phase that will pass either in months or years. But I don't really find any of your poll options positive, hence the bias. Not everyone is a loser just for spending time here, and that is what your options implied. If that wasn't your intent, then I apologise.
... And your nostrils.
Hahaha! The funny parts is that you probably already seen this; I have to retype things sometimes because I make huge typos. I can't stand to leave my comments like that.
:\
I just hate when my grammar makes me look like I don't care or don't know how to spell simple words. I don't know if it's my touch pad that skips characters or if it's me. :\
:)
I will stay here until I get bored. I haven't been here that long, so it might take a little bit.
I'm back here for the worst possible reasons; as a replacement for something that is broken, when really I should be fixing what is broken.
How long am I here this time? Who knows? It's dependent on external factors.
You know anonymity is an option.
.. Now I'm back, look forward to dem silly comments.
Though I will miss it, but everything that has a beginning has an end.
But me, I'll probably be gone by Monday when my job starts, then only come here to ask questions about an emotional dilemma :)
When I find a new website, I always think I’ll stay on it forever, but sooner or later there's nothing more to say, so I leave. It depends whether there's an actual need to come back or not.
