Why do you post?

Do we all really need to "get a life"? I may be new to posting here, but I'm not new to forums. It seems that when anyone actually does "get a life" they stop posting. So, are we all just losers with no life?:)


I'm not trying to be an jerk. I'm just curious peoples thoughts on this.

love of the hobby, help where i can, make friends, and network :D:gj:

Because its addicting.... lol.

Well I don't know about you :rolleyes:

Personally that's what I called giving back to the community!

Yes there are some people out there that care about this hobby and this community and of course there are the others!

dito that!
I have a super busy life, two kids (one being very ill most of the time) i go to school and work and thats leaving out my 9 snakes, 1 dragon and 4 rats. I make time to post here thats all.. instead of boring myself with mindless tv i post here.

Interest in reptiles, but more than anything to relax after my life stresses me. I don't do a lot of serious posts because I am RELAXING!! I try to help when I can though. I work about 10 -11 hrs a day,in my SPARE time I work with horses, show dogs and collect antiques of all sorts. I go to sleep about 4 am and ! am up by 8:30 am. My doctor said I was doing too much and needed to drop some activities. So I dropped seeing him!:rofl: The most wasted time of my life is waiting in lines or doctors offices!!!

P.S. school too!

Well, I'm a full-time college student so I don't completely lack a life... But, I post because it is my passion to help people take better and proper care of their pets, especially those of the scaly kind. Besides, years of experience caring for animals that have trickier needs than just 'feed and walk' should be shared. :)

I have no life. I'm old fat bald ugly and mean. Short too. So I go online to be mean to people I wouldn't dare talk that way to in real life.

Oh wait, that's what some folks SAY about me. Not to my face though, interestingly enough.

I figure I can be of assistance to some folks since I have a good bit of experience. There is also the amusement factor there. Some folks are just funny, whether they mean to be or not.

It's also good exercise for the mind. If you actually want to be helpful or contribute you have to figure out how to write what you mean which also makes you better at saying what you mean which makes you better understood by anyone who listens to what you have to say. Or reads what you write.

And I like words and letters.

I owe sites like this a lot. Much of my fish, plant, and reptile knowledge (the really practical bits anyway) came from forums and web content.

So, I try to give a little back. On reptiles I am still basically a noob, so I contribute more to site flavor and activity than actually helping people. I help when I can, which hopefully will increase as I learn :)

I also post to learn. I post what I am doing or what I think in the hope that I will get feedback - either good or bad - that will keep me moving in the right direction.

i definitely have no life. i just waste my time homeschooling my kids, publishing a magazine, teaching classes, spending an hour or two at the gym daily, caring for my 2 dogs, 6 cats, dozen snakes, 6 fish tanks, chameleon, fire belly toads, raising silkworms for two petstores and numerous online customers, doing admin for two forums, moderating on another... oh shoot... i have to go, this post is cutting into my "eating bon bons on the couch and doing nothing much of anything" time. :bolt:

I usually post when im board and im board alot soo I go online talk to differnt people learn new things every now and then and its not that bad it actually pretty cool! Im glad theirs forums because if there wasent alot of people would have bad husbandary for their snakes and come through alot of problems and the people prolly wouldent know whats up...

I post when I'm procrastinating.

I think this is one of the biggest reasons. If you don't think it's true, try and stop even looking at the forum for a week. If you can't do it easily, you're addicted.

Now how many people are out having a great time, but keep thinking about a certain thread that you can't wait to get home and post on. You stop doing what you're doing, even though you're having a great time because you just have to get home and look at the forums. It's the first thing you do when you wake up, and when you get home from wherever you have been.
'
I've got news. If this is you. You're addicted. Get help!!!!:):)

By the way. I have yet to get help.:rofl::rofl:rofl:


Then there's the people that are stealing money from their job. Nobody that works for me will ever have internet while working.

Ummm just recently watched Andrew Zimmern's (Bizarre Food) trip to Minnesota. I'd rather be here posting than eating that lutefisk stuff any day of the week! :O

Oh and I don't have a life. I'm actually just a super-intelligent shade of the color blue (or a figment of your rather twisted imagination - whatever works for your sense of reality :))

Yeah, I'm with you there! No way you're gonna get me to eat anything that was soaked in LYE! Whenever the church has a lutefisk supper, the town stinks all day! Horrible stuff!!

:rolleyes:I post because I like to have discussions and such with other people that enjoy my interests. I do spend a tad bit TOO long online....but to me its the same as if I was to be watching tv all evening like a lot of people do. Atleast this way i'm sorta interacting ha!

What a horrid thing to do to a perfectly good piece of fish! *gag*

I love the hobby too. There are few, if any, real hobbyists in my area. Some dabblers, but still, not enough for me to get my "snakeaholic" fix talking to.. And my family just thinks that we are kinda oddballs for having snakes. So you'll have to put up with me for the foreseeable future..
