I`ve learnt so much about music from people here, and like Blarrobargg I find the place addictive. Part of the addiction is that you can never exhaust all the recommendations that have been posted here, and another part is that once you post something yourself, you have to go back and see if anyone has commented on it, right ?

When you're integrated in a forum community, it does become quite addictive, mostly because there is a lot to talk about, or a lot of topics to discuss. It's the same with me. Used to be at it for 5 years non-stop at another forum, here and there with others, or read a lot of topics.

This forum is slowly becoming an addiction, even though I've only been here a couple of months. The recs and the members are worth coming back to, although still getting to know them on here.

Okay, I'll answer (more) seriously this time.

Like Lisnaholic, I agree with Bloozcrooz, whose description matches how I feel about MusicBanter during my favorite times here:

Interacting with friendly people as we discuss music inspires me to explore and enjoy music even more than I do by myself. I also love the chance to learn about a wide range of subjects and people new to me, broadening my horizons far beyond my own roost.

For example, if Queen Chrysalis of the Changelings had not mentioned the following...

See, if not for MusicBanter, I might have gone to my ashy grave not knowing this tidbit of human culture! <-- Time well spent, I say.

I came for the music, but stayed for the LOLs.

Isn't useless knowledge about video games amazing?

(To be honest, I shouldn't have linked a wiki article since it seems a bit excessive. This is why I don't post when I'm tired. :/)

Edit: By the way, how did anal beads become a running gag in polls?

crazyaga · 10-21-2012, 04:26 AM

Because I love talking about music

Mojo · 10-21-2012, 04:52 AM

And because you've only been here three days anyway?

Big Ears · 10-21-2012, 06:26 AM

I'm here for the free keyrings, pens and mugs.

Anal beads is the correct answer.
