    Getting people to think I’m intelligent! Or humorous. Or warm. (if they’d only know…)

    Its more productive than YouTube / safer than Facebook (and just as addictive!)

    #967674

    Good question.

    There are several things:

    2) Enjoying the poems, limericks and stories written by the many talented writers who share their output here.

    4) The opportunity to help other posters with info I may have. Teaching other people new things.

    5) The opportunity to get info I need from other posters.

    7) Hearing points of view that differ from my own.

    8) Learning new stuff about topics I never followed.

    11) The many halacha posts and discussions that allow me to expand my knowledge and do a bit of learning while on this site. I will sometimes follow up something read here with my own research, so additional learning also gets done based on posts here.

    That I don’t actually have to get up and go the Yeshiva’s/Shul’s

    Coffee room to “shmooz”. I can be the ultimate “couch potato”!

    For me its the ability to be heard, to have a voice not many people pay attention to what i have to say in real life, and also to get positive feedback from posters who think that what i say may have some worth.

    For me it is the ability to influence.

    for me, i think it’s mainly 3 reasons:

    1. just to hear adult conversation

    2. similar to icot, i like talking and/or reading about lots of different things. usually, when i’m with one person, i can show 1 side of myself (ok, maybe 2), but here i can mention Hitchiker’s guide on one thread, figure out how to be a psychopath (or was it sociopath) on another thread, learn how to make ? on another, LOL at times, and argue philosophically on another thread.

    3. there was a (cough, cough, read in whispers, sh…) tv show which took place in a bar: it’s theme song was, “sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came….”

    i think for me that is mostly what i think about the CR – a place where everyone can just be, and even if we’re different, we can still enjoy talking to and hearing from each other.

    wow! 2 mod responses in 1 thread!!!

    mod 80 – do you also get free coffee?

    #967688

    sure!

    all i can drink

    and so many exotic types from different countries

    the best part is that, since losing a certain bet, the YW Editor serves it to me, on demand. and no one else can brew a better cup.

    thats how he got the editor job.

    No doubt, the best part of being a Mod / Editor is being able to see the members for who they REALLY are, and laughing at the “persona” we present when visiting the CR.

    That, and sitting next to us in shul / the bus and seeing us pretend that we’ve never heard of the CR.

    tomim: I don’t know the appropriateness of having adult conversation with someone other than your husband.

    thanks Ayala – though i seem to have missed your troll thread.

    bpt: very funny, but true. that’s why i hired a private investigator before joining the cr to make sure the mods don’t live anywhere near me.

    canine: It’s ok, I didn’t ask you. Though I’m impressed with your saying IDK; it shows humility.
