Wanted to learn more about anime. All the words like "shonin" and "jenin" and "shojoin" were like a foreign language or something. I'm still learning, plus the people here are pretty cool.

1) Why did you join here? also what keeps you here as an active member?
My boyfriend's brother created the site so when I started dating my boyfriend he would go on here when we went to college together in the college library. I decided to join but knew absolutely nothing about anime. He introduced me into the world of anime. I've never been part of a forum before, but I met good friends here and people I have things in common with. Don't know why I stayed though, when I first joined I went to the shoutbox and everyone was realy horrible to me and hated me! But that was when that guy was here, if anyone remembers, the really depressing one that liked to make everyone's life Hell?

2) Are you a member of more than one forum?
No, not really. Tried Gaia for a while but too many people there for posting.

3) If you are a member of more than one forum are you active on all of them?
n/a

4) How long have you been on forums?
Since I joined here, my profile bit to the left will tell you when.

5) How much time would you say you spend on forums a week?
Probably about 1hr, I'm a busy lady, but if more people did more posts I'd probably post more.

3) If you are a member of more than one forum are you active on all of them?

Probably a little under half my life, certainly over 10 years though

Yes, just one other.

3) If you are a member of more than one forum are you active on all of them?
Kinda, sorta...after the upgrade it got too weird looking and a lot of data was lost ~.~ so right now I'm just checking it every once and a while to PM my friends and stuff on it.

4) How long have you been on forums?
Was making new accounts on the one mentioned above since 2006. Reason that I didn't stay with the first account I initially made is because I kept my newbie status until November 2009 and didn't know much about the forum because back before that date, I just got on chat o.o;

5) How much time would you say you spend on forums a week?
Lol that's a funny thing to ask. I was on my previous forum all day everyday when I wasn't busy and this forum will be the same. That is of course...going to be very hard when college starts in September ;___;
