This is especially for the old timers. What attracts you enough to this forum to keep coming back?

I still use Allegro so its a nice place to keep up with that. Also I like the layout of this forum.

I don't know. Maybe I'm lost? Maybe its because nothing has really changed around here, I find the discussions interesting, so there's no reason not to.

The only websites I really check are 4chan, slashdot, allegro.cc, and that's about it. Every other site or channel has either died, or has been invaded by troublemakers.

I can say "pointer to an array" without being talked about.

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

I can say "C++ programmers do it with private members".

I come here to meet intelligent people. And I use Allegro.

4chan has people who aren't troublemakers? :o And Slashdot members are way too snooty.

I come here because it's the only really interesting site I like... and sometimes like to help people or fix a reported bug... I don't know why, but most other sites bore me.

I generally have nothing better to do. Aside from work and friends.

Maybe because this is one of the few places on the Internet that hasn't been overrun by idiots yet. And I used Allegro just a couple of months ago 8-)

Been here longer than any other online community, and not in a trolling sense either (usually). I just keep the tab open to see what's up. Truely I don't think I've actually used Allegro since about middle of last year.

Actually, you're one of the most soft-spoken people I've ever seen.

This forum has the cleanest layout on the whole of the internet.
The community is nice.

And now what is wrong with people with all these threads? We love Allegro! We love to talk with the people around here, we can't live without it! When I feel frustrated programming or when I'm burned out I just come here and leave a message... I don't care about what people is talking I just leave a message... And that is why threads get off-topic so frequently.

I come here to help new programmers in fields I have knowledge on and to read intelligent comments and threads on programming and other topics.

Just cause. I don't need a reason.

Where else would I go?

I dunno. I don't really use allegro so much anymore but I still find most of the topics in the various forums here interesting.
