When I finally realized what this site was actually about, which took me a good two months to learn. It’s not your typical Q&A site, and I was surprised at the amount of freedom we have here. All the subjects one can bring up, from normal to just plain bizarre, and how people can go totally off track in questions and have real discussions. The lack of restriction was something I really came to appreciate.
Yeah, for a long time I was of the mind that it was all cliquey and some of the mods were biased. But after a while I saw that this was pretty much bullshit, and if it was like that, I would have been banned a long time ago haha. I’ll be hard pressed to find another site that’s anything like this one.
Of course, the site isn’t good only because of how it’s built or how it works, it’s mainly the people that make it what it is, and ultimately that’s what surprised me at every street corner. It’s a small community, but a unique one, at least when it comes to internet standards.
All that to say, one memorable moment is when I made this this question. I really wasn’t sure if I wanted to, being kind of afraid of the responses lol.
I thought maybe I would be made fun of, or that people would crack witty one liners and shit, but I was very surprised at how supporting people were. Even some who I barely even know on here. So that was pretty cool. Sometimes you just gotta say shit, and can’t find anyone, so I know this place can help for that, whether one may be looking for a solution or not. So if I keep going on and on about my drinking problem all the time, it’s all you guys’ fault for accepting me as I am haha. :p
Also yesterday I learned the difference between the ’‘dark ages’’ and the middle ages, while I had been going around on Answerbag for like two years saying the Spanish Inquisition happened in the dark ages. Nobody ever corrected me haha. I also wrote a huge answer about poop. I’m pretty sure I’m never gonna forget that.
While those last two may seem like me tryna be funny, it does tie in to what I opened this answer with. Knowledge, acceptance and variety make for lots of memorable moments. I just hope some day I can help someone on here haha.
Also, zombies.
