Why are you still here?

[Scythe]

I felt like it.

[Bloo]

No idea .-.

I barely do anything here, but it is just so hard to leave this place :C

[Atomic Cata]

I am here because my friends are, and I don't want to leave them<33

[PinkyWoman]

I don't know why ._.

Some members are jerks and try ruin my experience here, and others just ignore me, while some are my friends

But somehow this community brings you back in even if the members/mods/admins are dicks e.e

[Slundr Men]

It’s one of life’s great mysteries, isn’t it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don’t know, man. But it keeps me up at night.

[ZoMbIeTuRtLe]

I'm addicted, it's fun and I've made quite a bit of friends. c:

[Galaxia]

It's not too crowded or too empty (getting to be that way)
And I stay mainly for the people
the cool ones anyway

[Silverrida]

JV is an odd symbol for me.

Most of the time I'm here I see all these threads and I legitimately consider nearly all of them horrendous. Like, legitimately hate them. Now, that doesn't mean they don't bring a lot of joy to many people, it's just my view of them, and as such I end up not posting.

The reason I explain this is because it makes it even odder that I stick around for the occasional serious post that I get to get in, or the MUCH less frequent "funny" post, which the majority of users seem to be fond of (Incidentally, I think, makes me come off as a bit too serious sometimes as that's the only side of me people see. My humor just doesn't fit here, which is why I loathe so much of what people think is "funny" coming out of here).

However, even with not being able to post often, this is still kind of, like, my fall back safety net. Everything else is getting too difficult for me to handle? Well, I can always go to JV. I can always post a blog which some people will notice. It's not as awful as FB where there'd be too much attention (Not to mention misunderstanding), but it's also not a place where I'm straight ignored. What it comes down to is that someone always seems to have interest in someone else's actions here as long as they're made vocal.

And I need that from time to time.

I need to be able to come and post my random feelings in a blog. Or debate a subject and have people agree or disagree. I need to be a PART of something that isn't a grand idea or that will fall apart.

JV is nothing spectacular. And it's for that very reason that I always return. It's just a place to waste time, hang out, not be ignored, not be too noticed, just...exist. And sometimes that's exactly what I need.

[Firefight]

I'm familiar with the people at JV
I'm familiar with the game that attracts people to JV
I've been with this site for 4 years
It stands out as a forum where interesting ideas can still be discussed without all the obscenity, harassment, and trolls.
It has a young age group with just enough "older" kids to keep things interesting for me.

[Ghaswag]

It's a nice place for me to just relax
and there are a few members that I love talking to

[Lightnin!!!]

WELL

JV was the first forum where I actually felt involved with the community, all that time ago. None of that really rubs off anymore, because most if not all of my old friends are long-since gone, but nearly all of my internet "friends", or people I talk with, game with, whatever, I met from JV.

I've tried leaving, but I always come back eventually. My only salvation was the two-year period in which I was permabanned, where I almost stopped visiting entirely. I think the real problem is that my daily life is so utterly boring- I do any chores I'm required, then sit around sifting through reddit, 4chan, and when those get old, JV. It's something I can always fall back on. I check this site at least once daily, hoping for an interesting thread, an old member returning, some sort of drama, flame war, raid, anything, and usually sign back off disappointed. This place has really changed.

I know at this point I'm older than most members, don't really know any members with a user # over 10,000, and am out of touch with the community, so I don't know why I can't leave. Maybe (read as definitely) I'll get myself permabanned again someday so I can focus on bigger and better things.

There are also a few people who keep me coming back, but I'd prefer not to elaborate on that issue

JV used to be, for me, a forum for Jiggmin's games, and I liked to use it as so for a while. I brought it upon myself, very foolishly, to make it more than that - not because I think the more social aspect of the forum is bad, but because I myself am not really the type of person to develop a character on JV. In the end, I've ended up developing a connection to this website because I enjoy observing this website. I'm not a gamer here or an avid community person - I've just grown accustomed to treating this as a home, as pathetic as it seems to people in real life.

This will continue until I forget about the website. I will not quit, I will not succumb to a narcissistic suicide here just for attention. Failing grades or social life won't take me out of here. I can't make something grow by shrinking something else out of force. Eventually I will just grow inactive and lose all memory of this place - and that will happen, just like it has for other forums I've partaken in. I won't care when I leave, nobody else will care either. It's a win-win deal, and it is inevitable.

[Nickzta]

[Insane]

I don't even know anymore

I guess I just come here to pass time

[Flybird]

JV gives me a place to talk with friends and stuff. And do things I don't normally do in real life. Also some of the community is awesome. And some isn't so awesome. But I can get past the bad and focus on just the good. I really do enjoy spending time here. Also gives me something to do when I'm majorly bored.

[X-Ray]

because i dont have a life lol

[animebubble]

Green thing + I'm bored.
