As someone who has been here...what, 6 years now?...I'm actually surprised just how antsy people are that they aren't a part of some imagined larger "conversation" that's going on here on MB. Its all well and good to want to make friends and all that, but don't misunderstand: the purpose of this forum isn't to recreate the Grammys and pat eachother on the back all the time like the world isn't falling down around your ears: your here to talk about music and, hopefully, broaden your horizons a bit. If you get more out of it than that, awesome...but if you don't care about that stuff, why not just stay in the Lounge and post dumb .gifs all day or go spam up people's feeds on Facebook, Twitter, etc?
In my case, I love writing and sharing new things with others, so that's what I spend the majority of my time doing when I do come on here. To all you newbies out there: find your niches and contribute. Beyond that, does anyone seriously have expectations of others on this forum? That's just nuts.
