what is it that you like about the cr and/or why do you come here?
no, i don’t work for them, just curious. 😉
May 16, 2011 2:06 pm at 2:06 pm #967671ZeesKiteParticipantGetting people to think I’m intelligent! Or humorous. Or warm. (if they’d only know…)
May 16, 2011 2:26 pm at 2:26 pm #967672hanibParticipant🙂
May 16, 2011 2:30 pm at 2:30 pm #967673bptParticipantIts more productive than YouTube / safer than Facebook (and just as addictive!)
May 16, 2011 4:10 pm at 4:10 pm #967674I can only tryMemberGood 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.
May 16, 2011 4:32 pm at 4:32 pm #967675HealthParticipantThat 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”!
May 16, 2011 5:36 pm at 5:36 pm #967676TheGoqParticipantFor 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.
May 16, 2011 6:04 pm at 6:04 pm #967677Pac-ManMemberFor me it is the ability to influence.
May 16, 2011 6:21 pm at 6:21 pm #967678adorableParticipantGOQ- we love your posts here! I think its just something to do when you are bored and someone to talk to. Its very nice to hear from other people and their opinions
May 16, 2011 8:09 pm at 8:09 pm #967679hanibParticipantICOT – wow! what a great answer.
May 16, 2011 8:14 pm at 8:14 pm #967680s2021MemberI like da subtitle drama 🙂
May 16, 2011 8:16 pm at 8:16 pm #967681gavra_at_workParticipantTo learn about stuff in the general Frum community outside my Daled Amos.
May 16, 2011 8:17 pm at 8:17 pm #967682hanibParticipantfor 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.
May 16, 2011 8:18 pm at 8:18 pm #967683hanibParticipants2021 – me too, and i love when the mods get involved with their messages coming from nowhere land.
May 16, 2011 8:20 pm at 8:20 pm #967684Y.W. EditorKeymaster***MESSAGE FROM NOWHERE LAND***
May 16, 2011 8:22 pm at 8:22 pm #967685hanibParticipantLOL!!!!!
May 16, 2011 8:27 pm at 8:27 pm #967686YW Moderator-80Memberi like the pay, the paid vacations, the ferrari, and all the other perks.
May 16, 2011 8:30 pm at 8:30 pm #967687hanibParticipantwow! 2 mod responses in 1 thread!!!
mod 80 – do you also get free coffee?
May 16, 2011 8:36 pm at 8:36 pm #967688YW Moderator-80Membersure!
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.
May 16, 2011 8:39 pm at 8:39 pm #967689BSDMemberMod-Any job openings? I’ll settle for a beamer.
May 16, 2011 8:54 pm at 8:54 pm #967690bptParticipantNo 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.
May 16, 2011 9:00 pm at 9:00 pm #967691ZeesKiteParticipantbpt: I don’t believe it. They know us in person? How frightening! I’d NEVER have created my sillinesses. MODS – If any of you know me, beep twice!
May 16, 2011 10:39 pm at 10:39 pm #967692tomim tihyeMemberI come for humor and adult conversation when my husband is not home to provide it.
May 17, 2011 12:16 am at 12:16 am #967693TheGoqParticipantty adorable i’m interested in what u have to say too
May 17, 2011 12:37 am at 12:37 am #967694canineMembertomim: I don’t know the appropriateness of having adult conversation with someone other than your husband.
May 17, 2011 12:52 am at 12:52 am #967695Ayala11Participantbinahyeseira: i totally agree with your third reason!
May 17, 2011 7:19 am at 7:19 am #967697hanibParticipantthanks 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.
May 17, 2011 1:45 pm at 1:45 pm #967698tomim tihyeMembercanine: It’s ok, I didn’t ask you. Though I’m impressed with your saying IDK; it shows humility.
May 17, 2011 3:39 pm at 3:39 pm #967699adorableParticipantI come here to laugh! That is the truth! And if the mods know me they should tell me fast so i can run away from here now!~

tomim: I don’t know the appropriateness of having adult conversation with someone other than your husband.
so which is it? you think we’re not adults? or you think this is not conversation? ?
