You know, this sort of brings me to another point...

I probably wouldn't have ever made or at least released an AMV if not for this forum. I mean, I had the idea of doing it, but for one I was very skeptical of whether the AMV community was 'somewhere I belonged' so to say. The community did turn out to be somewhere I belong, and although I still make these things for myself, it's nice to have a sense of context.

More importantly, I don't think I would ever have made any AMV's if it weren't for the off-topic forums (again, I don't want to start a discussion on this, but I sorely miss them) - because through them I did find quite a few inspirational characters in this community.
Of course, that's not to take away credit from the OT-less .org forums, because I found many more inspirational characters here since december 2003...

So I guess you neglect your wife and date frequently?

I'm a one forum sort of guy.

In college me and my roomate both frequented one forum (his was http://www.belegarth.com/) and we each followed the other in a general sort of way (in that we would talk about it with each other) but only ever posted in our own forums.

The way I see it, there is no trust or benefit of the doubt on the internet. There's no point in posting in a forum unless you do it often enough that you aren't just some random name. Unless of course, you have a question.

i have cvisited other forums off and on, one of the major ones being the forums on Megatokyo.com. I used to frequently post my art there in the art threads. But then I found the org ;p That and that forum at megatokyo got too big (when Piro started doing it full time and got realy popular) and what used to feel like a small family just got too impersonal and too many newbs and jerks, so I didn;t realy feel like I belonged there anymore. Also most of the people I knew personally left... so I ended up not hanging around there much anymore.

So yea, the org is my #1 forum now. Funny how the org isn;t exactly small either, but I did make alot more friends/buddies/fans/mentors on here than megatokyo, so it still kinda feels like family to me ;p

At the moment, its my only one, as most of my prefered forums have been attacked, shut down or wiped of the face of the earth with no warning, so im hoping to get along great here

Yeah, well, I tried so hard to make an LBZ AMV in the last little while that I'm about to break. But in the end it doesn't even matter, because I probably won't.

While I visist the forum here everyday it is nowhere near my number one forum. I post here sometimes but I will mostly lurk around and read what other people have to say. I mainly check out general amv and general anime. Heads up is another good reason I come in here as well. However, how things are here it won't be my favorite forum because it doesn't seem like a full community. There are people who post regularly that I can recognize but then there are so many people just sitting in the outskirts looking in but it feels like they aren't welcomed. Granted not everyone will fit but having a sense of some group does give a forum a second home away from home feeling. Is that making any sense?

I've limited my forum surfing to mostly this one, although i frequent another 3 or 4 of them when the need strikes me. My internet connection situation isn't that consistant in the summer, but when i'm at school i'm essentially a forum addict. a-m-v.org forums have taken at least 500 hours of my life in the last 6 months and i don't regret it.
