Pretty much what the title says.
After joining, what made you stay here?? Were the members friendly?? Did you enjoy your welcome?? etc.

The cameraderie shown in the boards really hit me. I'll admit, I came here half by accident (i.e. Wubbzy commented on one of my stories, and she had the link on her FFN profile). I was looking to expand readership for that story, but the other members really seemed to be having fun and I just jumped in and never left. XD

Oh girl. Is that unyohlike enough for you? Oh boy. And no, that's still so yoh. xD The cameraderie shown in the boards really hit me. I'll admit, I came here half by accident (i.e. Wubbzy commented on one of my stories, and she had the link on her FFN profile). I was looking to expand readership for that story, but the other members really seemed to be having fun and I just jumped in and never left. XD Yay! That's great to hear!! X) Well, I'm the head admin now, but this is why I initially joined: What initially initially got me apart of this place was our very first advanveshipping contest that was gonna be in bulba, but they didn't want it there and beast got banned there so he made a quick topic. That's what initially got me here. What kept me here was the community. What got me devoted here and wanting to do everything I can for this site to help it grow was everyone's passion for advanceshipping, this place, and each other. Everything we talked about, about expanding this place and the different ideas some staff had and talked to made me want to go beyond what others thought was possible and make do everything I can to keep this place running smoothly, along with wanting to help fellow staff members.

I stayed for many reasons! The friendships I have made here are unlike any other. We all bonded over something that most people I know simply wouldn't understand. And despite our differences, we all became very fast friends when we first started this place, which is a mentality that continues on even after almost two years. Everyone has the opportunity to meet people and relate to them in ways they probably never could before. This forum is my sanctuary, and that's really special to me. I also stayed because our forum has evolved. We expanded and grew based on the demands we had and there is always something new and fun to maintain my interests when I'm here. Finally, I stayed as part of my obligation to my fellow staff. I don't mean that in a bad way, by the way. Like, when I say obligation, I mean that I take my position here very seriously and feel a deep responsibility to this community. I could never abandon a place that I am responsible for taking care of. Even when life gets busy and we can't put all of our efforts into running things, those of us that stay around are committed as best as we can be.

Well, I stayed because I loved to interact with everyone in the forums and we all have nice (and sometimes very interesting) discussions. Plus, I just love how everyone loves to bully me and chickens in the Advancers Mansion thread, so I stuck around for that gag, can't get enough of it. Oh, and also because of KatherineLuvsMJ, because I especially love our interactions (we've stopped, though! )!

BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE MY FRIENDSSSSSSSSS
I was so nervous when I first joined the site that I would just be another member, no one would really ever get to know me, etc. but boy was I wrong. Once I actually started posting in threads (other than the would you rather thread, which was where I posted practically my first 80 posts XD) I was sucked into the friendship. I couldn't leave if I tried. I'm addicted XD

What made me stay and get involved was the the fact that we can achieve our main objective (support advanceshipping) but at the same time, you can have fun and get to one another like you're a family. Thats why I like love the Advancers.
Plus, everybodys here is unique. They offer their own spin or idea or craziness to our forums. We're not just boring, there's always something happening around every corner.
^ That's the very shortened version of it.
So I stayed for a multitude of reasons.
The first, is to become a better writer by (somewhat) learning from all these wonderful people here and there. I mean, you're surrounded by a the plethora of great writers and just amazing ideas. Not only that, you have an Advanceshipping thread where you can just come up with wonderful ideas just by the questions alone. Plus, there's threads on here to get you past writer's block!
The second one, is stronger than the first. I have a duty as the retired staff member to make sure that the admins *coughs* Mubbzy *coughs* stay in line when it gets just bit too far. Well they haven't done anything explosive so far except gave me seizures on Wednesday. But I stay just to make sure they're not doing anything catastrophic to the forums. Even if they haven't, they're my closest family, well aside from irl family, that is.
The third reason is that this is a home and we are the family. Once you join and start making posts, you are officially a part of our little family here that has grown to be quite a big family. And if Lilo and Stitch taught me anything, Ohana means "no one gets left behind." Even if you leave, our little family's here is going to miss you. It's not just the group of people that you interact with everyday, but rather everyone here. They can feel the presence of a missing family member. You're bound to come back eventually because you can't make your family suffer. Because we love you. And there's no other way to express it.
Plus, there's a lot of sexy people here. JP

Why did I stay? There are multiple parts why. My plot or plot idea in the adventure thread shouldn't be left unfinished, being bored, and another reason that shouldn't be mentioned
