So, a few of my friends know I come here and post regularly but they never understand why. Previously, one of my friends used to come here some what often to check on game updates and stats. But during the darkness periods my friends never understand the reason to coming here. They also don't understand the reason for posting really unless you have a question about a game. I'm sure they are not the only ones, So I thought it might be cool if as ac community we wrote an explanation of why we come here? I mean besides the "somewhere to go when I'm bored", "Habit", or "becuz da womenz". I want something real, and genuine. Something we can refer to when people ask "Why come here?", "Why post in the forum?" So anyways, that is my thought; I figure we can just discuss and posts ideas in this thread about it. See if we can come up with a good, well written, explanation. Here is what I have so Far: [quote] So you ask why do I keep coming back? What is the point of posting on this website? Well, it isn't a simple answer really. There is a lot of reasons why I come here. I mean, like most people I first started coming here because of the games, the stats, and the little perks you get. But as time grew on I started to get interested in looking at the forums. Glancing through threads about the games and finding out secrets/easter eggs in the game I didn't know about. As time grew on I started to see a connection between me and the other people here. I started to get into groups, specific forums, and even play with some people via Xbox Live. I started finding people I can really connect with here. As time grew on I started to get involved in the community. I started helping in community projects, playing in community events, and helping out in groups. I really felt like through this journey I had found a place for my self on the internet. I feel like I belong here, that is why I keep coming back.[/quote] [Edited on 01.05.2013 6:10 PM PST]
