Why people post on the forums?
And, conversely, why they spend so much time on it? Seems to me it's a bit of a community effect, and a bit of a lack of the pressure that games and other contest environments put us in. IRC seems to have a large step up in activity due to immediate gratification, but it seems a bit of the userbase is technology or people timid. I can easily see some people coming here just because making the admins go all RAGE can be somewhat amusing.
So guys, why do you post on the forums instead of slaving your lives away for another dan?
