Just thought this would be interesting.

Originally I came here because of Over the Rhine. I chose to stay because I made some very dear friends here.

I chanced on the orchard while bored at work. I like Otr and took a quick look at the forum. I made on post and got a very warm welcome. But it's the discussions that keep me coming back. The fact that there are so many people of such different backgrounds is what makes me interested. I'm here to learn.

That's considered self-evident.

One thing I like about this forum in particular is because it is a living, breathing entity.
It's better than reading a book because you never have to turn the last page of the last chapter.
It's better than a movie because you have character interaction.
It's better than sleeping because you can read a well thought out post/discussion and come to your own pleasant realizations
It's better than school because not only can the students learn from the professors, but the professors can learn from the students
It's better than music because music isn't music without the people who enjoy it

As a professional researcher, I'd like to know when they're going to implement multiple-response polls in this forum. dry.gif

I came for the band, I come back every day for the great people here.

Didn't you get the memo, Keith, multiple responses are bad, bad, very bad. We only want one response, and forget that middle of the road neutral one too. It's either very pleased, somewhat pleased, somewhat dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied!

I voted other because it is a combination of the first 4 options.

While I don't contribute much around here, I check in daily and have been doing so for most of the year;however, thanks to the folks around here, I have discovered new music, books, movies, witty sayings, good humor, intelligent conversation, and a glimpse into the interactions of a group of devoted fans who care so much for OTR that they will raise money to help the band buy new instruments in order to replace stolen ones. Overall, I would say this is a rare group of intelligent and good hearted people, which means for me this is the ultimate place to come and explore OTR, and everything else that a fan such as myself might enjoy.

I keep checking in so I can pass the latest dirt about Karin and Linford on to "People" magazine, but the person trailing Jennifer Lopez keeps sending better stories in.

for the band and the great folks. and thank goodness y'all are so great - i'm much better at this cyber-subculture that actually being social in real life. being here i get somel kind of social requirement without having to either give up my comfy-cozy hermit/homebody like nature or go out after work and actually physically socialize. cause you know, that takes work. *phew*

I came from the email discussion list. I joined last year b/c I suddenly found myself with a lot of time and engery on my hands. I've stayed because of the dear friendships I've made.

I came because I found myself missing certain llamas from the CJ board. I liked what I saw, and so I stayed. Oh, and the band's not too shabby either. wink.gif
