I came back because I saw that 2.01 was released with Jim's new versions of the old/new fish from before. (if that makes sense lol) And I have to say, I like what Jim did with the Squarespot. All of them look much more realistic.

The chicks bring me back ;p

What chicks? I see no chicks.:confused:

oh :s

:D

Hows this?

OOh, there we go.

While I spend a lot of time lurking here, I do enjoy this forum more than any other I belong to. The main reason is the people. I know it's been said before, but I too feel that people here are open, honest and adult with their opinions. I appreciate that. I also enjoy starting my day reading what I missed the day before. Thanks to all that make it happen!

Help!
 

Need support!

Laugher, Information, People, and Entertainment, but not necessarily in that order. :TU: :) ;) :artist: :cool:

I look for updates. Or discussions of updates. Or ideas for updates (the wish list). I love how this program/art has evolved and I look forward to the upgrades. And the technical discussions. And Jim's one-liners.

I keep coming back because this is my second home . Even if I don't post alot everyday I am here everyday . :TU:

I and my alter ego love it here. i

I have no life.
I am bored.
No one to talk to.
I am very nosey.
Can't get along with live people.
I think there really is cyber out there, (that's where the spirits live)
I am glued to my chair
Someone stole my car.
But thank God the house isn't burning, then I guess I would have to leave.

:D

I think everyone here is live, though there is no sure way to confirm that. I know that occasionally the forum does seem a little dead, but then someone posts to liven it up. ;)

Sorry about your car, Marian! :D :D :D

This is my first forum so I don't have anything else to compare it to. I have noticed that yes, I do seem to keep coming back -- don't know if that is normal or healthy. but back to the question

what brings me back -- I like the community. I like the support and communication that is given -- both on a technical and nontechnical level. I like the dedication, friendliness and commitment of the administrators M&M. I like that I get to practice my nominal social skills by making contact with strangers. I find myself humbled to be respectful of those willing to be vulnerable and share personal information and pictures. Is this a trick question --am I going to get booted off if I give a wrong answer or not the right one? I like that there is opening for newbies to show up out of the blue and start a thread, post, visit, pass through, join the community. Mostly because I am new to surfing internet, computers, aol, etc.. and this forum seems to be a safe space port in the internet to dock in while I grow my computer surfing space fins. meeting new people, actually having fun in some posts, exposure to new things, expanding my horizons. a rich resource of a special group of people gathered together in one location. I didn't know forums were like this. there's a place for people who are not hard core fishies or techies like myself. only fish I own are in Jim's aquarium..... and those that I caught and contributed to the museum in gamecube's animal crossing.

This report is based on less than 2 weeks experience and first impressions. an update might be warranted after a longer period of time...

It's a great group of people here, Surferminn. Glad you've decided to join us.

Ditto here, we all were newbie at one time, and we all felt the welcome and continue to come back.:TU:

thanks. I'm a bit embarrassed by the coming back part. almost like an addictive new video game that you want to play first thing in the morning when you wake up. I am waiting for this to normalize over time.
