I've been here a decent while, and I've gotta say this is probably my favorite place on the internet.

The people are kind, the topics can be pretty fun, and in general it's just a nice place to be.

In most places I'm always paranoid that everyone hates me, and will pounce on me the second I say something stupid, or for just being a certain way, but I have never really felt anything like that here.

So yeah, Cheers.

Same here, you know? I've been in a lot of forums, and this one is by far the most awesome one. An incredible community, and lots of good people. I've found good friends here, people who have encouraged me to go on and take chances when I thought there was no hope for me in an aspect or another of my life.

Thanks a lot, Playground!

You guys are awesome, few other places put up with my lack of sense like y'all.

I feel the same about this place.
I'm pretty much always here! :smalltongue:

It's by far the friendliest place on the internet I've been to.

I'm glad you like being here, Setra. :smallsmile:

omg best forum evaaaaar.

No rly. We are great here, aren't we? We should be very proud of each other for making this forum so nice. Helpful, accepting, funny, kind, diverse, and did I mention funny? :smallwink:

Yes. This truly is a wonderful little corner of the Internets that has great influence in my life. I love you guys and girls. <3

Can you believe it? I've been here a year this week. =^_^=

To me this place is unique. It is my escape from life when I need it, and I think I have some good friends here...

Well you are all very interesting, I think I will stick around.:smallwink:

I have to agree. There is a great sense of community here, and the 'odd' running things (like Trogs talk show) make it really special.

GitP Forums ftw!

I too would like to agree. This is the only forum that I've been able to stick with for any amount of time. You guys are good people, and a lot of you are pretty cool.

My... sense of self worth... it hurts... badly.... ow.....

I love you all. At least when I see comments like the above, I can just look back at the forum and go "fwoo, ok, I have friends here. I'm fine. Did I just say \"fwoo\" ?..."

Lykan
2007-11-06, 01:30 AM
I only have like... Two really good friends in real life. Here, I have dozens.

This place has saved me from boredom and depression alike.

This place rocks. You guys rock. ^_^

Did I just say \"fwoo\" ?..."

Yes. Yes you did. :smallamused:

I'm having trouble believing this, but I've been here for about 2 years on the dot now. There's never been another place on the internet (or, for the most part, anywhere else) that has kept me for this long. And that says a lot about the kind of place this is, and the kind of people who come here.

Several important events in my life have taken place because of my involvement with these boards, and I wouldn't give this up for anything. This place, and you people, are awesome.

In case nobody could tell, I hate this place. Which is why I come here daily to post and read topics, roleplay, and look at art. I only frequent places I despise, like this GitP. It's why I've been here 23 months, it's why I go to the board chatrooms, it's even why I got the account in the first place. It's why the forums are my homepage, why I read both the comics the instant I see the links, why I've read about every single article on the main site. Pure, baseless hatred. Seriously.

I'll be celebrating my 2-year hatred anniversary soon. To celebrate, I'll come here extra often. I'll post in topics I never even looked at before. Just because I hate this place so much.

Best part - you can actually have an intelligent conversation here, unlike the rest of the internet.

Oh yeah. And everyone is super-nice! :biggrin:

2007-11-06, 02:02 AM
Meh. This place is alright... I suppose...

It's a lot less restrictive than the other big forums which I (used to) frequent (One of which has censored the word 'idiot'), I'll say that. Maybe that helps with trust between members.

But...
Eh, never mind.

I'll toss my 2 pence into this and say that the community here, while ever shifting, is without doubt, the best I have found on the interwebs. Sometimes I lurk and sometimes I post like a madman, but through it all, what keeps me here is the wit, the intellect, the friendliness, and yes, even the failed romances.

This place so totally rolls!*

*Poor Rolls. Its so overshadowed by the more popular, but ultimately less talented, Rocks:smallbiggrin:

Heh I have to agree, this place is the only forum that's ever held my interest for more than a week. It's a community like no other I've ever been part of.

However...every single one of you are insane, and that's why I love you guys :smallbiggrin:

The words of gratitude I have for this community are not enough. I am accepted here, often humbled by the praise heaped upon me. Quite often, I wonder if I'm worthy to have found such a wonderful place where I can exchange ideas, dispense advice, and make some of my silliest jokes.

Not only does this place roll, but you people roll! :smallsmile:

(We'll see if we can get it to catch on, Midnight.)

This place is great. Before, I used to think that all bigger forums are doomed to be flooded by spam and flame, but Giant In The Playground proved me wrong. Also, Gaming forums were really nice break from what I've been used to on D&D and Warhammer forums.

I dunno what I'd do without you guys...seriously. I have withdrawal symptoms when the 'net goes down and I can't talk to you people/aliens/evil monstrosities. Because you guys rock. You made my real life better, give me a place to hang out with people who are freaking awesometastic.

So thanks Giant! Thanks for creating this forum, where amazingly awesome people have been attracted to!

This place is indeed great. I haven't been here all too long (well... I registered a good while ago, but only really stopped being a lurker recently), but in that time I've already gotten to see quite a few valuable people. It's great. I like how friendly and accepting people are here.

I've checked out but never registered on maybe ooh....six forums but I love this place.
And being here for eightish months hasn't made me love it any less, if anything my boundless enjoyment of this forum has gotten even larger.
I've made more friends here than I have in real life, but strangely enough, my social skills here have lead me to make more friends in RL. I never want to leave so you will all be haunted by my overly long SMBG and SG posts which are marginally good and my quirky ways until you die. In eighty years.
Long live the Forum!
*hugs*

This place is wonderful -- it's been a refuge and a home when I needed one -- and I love the people too -- you're all really great friends, even if some of you do take a long time to respond to PMs :smallcool: :smallwink:

When I first joined I didn't know what was going on, I didn't feel part of the community and I almost gave up and left. Now things just couldn't be more different. *hugs everyone*

You'd better not be trying to butter me up for the IA contest. I only take bribes of $500 or more. That can be paid in nubile females, if you so wish. Plus, you have to actually have an entry first. :smallamused:

I could write my story about you being the last of the human race. You are, after all, the very peak of human evolution.

As a sidenote, we found out that the idiom for "brownnoser" in French is "(le) petit chou-chou" in French class today. Can't remember what it is literally...
