Yeah, but nowadays there are so many other people here that can help, I don't get the chance very often. And I like to take my time writing posts, so someone else usually replies before me...

---

yeah, i like to be able to help people, but just like WDZ i'm often too late (also because of the time zones and everything.. )

after a while i discovered the other forum sections than help (gcc for example), and the shoutbox, and i like talking to people here about all kinds of things

I first came here because I had found some errors in the Dutch translation of Messenger Plus! and wanted it to be corrected (as I found Plus! an exceptional excellent add on for MSN Messenger).

And since I was registered anyways, I looked around and started to answer some general questions in GCC. But the questions never stopped , and as I like to help out, I was deeper and deeper sucked in to the community and spend more and more time on the forums and became addicted to this place.

I'm here because of the tight MSN community, and the special thing/bond that is going on between people here on this forum and on the other MSN communities. The knowledge level of this community (not only Plus!, but also mess.be and msnfanatic) is extremely high compared to other computer related forums. I find that 12-15 years olds on these communities know often more and are more mature then the avarage 20 year old on other communities...

So... in short, I'm here because I'm addicted to the community and because I want to support Plus!. As Sunshine said, it makes you feel like coming home a bit (but sometimes I want to take a holiday though ).

Heh everyones cool here , I come back time after time because 1) i like to help people (sometimes....). and 2) well I couldnt think of a two so blah but im sure there is a good reason...... like wdz is really using some form of brainwashing on us to keep us here....
* -dt- hides from wdz because he's said too much already....

Well I first came here because I had some problems with msn messenger being slow with Messenger Plus!, and since then I have came back to the forums because  the  help I got from the members over a couple of computer problems and if I can help out abit.

i come here for the great community and i like to help people(when i can)

to participate in threads like this one I suppose

Because, being a Super Moderator, it's my responsibility to pay a daily visit to the forums and to see everything is running fine (I hope I don't sound an admin... )

Well, before I became Elite Member and SuperMod, I regularly visited and posted because:

1. I found Plus! a good software, and I was absoultely willing to help people with it.
   
2. I found the forums to be a good place to improve my English...
   
3. I make friends here. Or at least I did.
   
4. Being a plug-in developer and Plus! translator, I need to check back to see if there is any feedback .

And oh, by the way, when I have "personal issues" and post about them here, I always get nice replies.

And I come here because Sunshine would slap my ISP to make my internet connection better .

Asfor me:
1. I like to help out.
2. I made many friends onhere...good peeps in this community, feels like family.
3. The amount of respect and acceptance, that makes me feel even more welcome and at home. Women seldom get accepted let alone seen as equal in the computerbiz.

As above plus......

* Vazza feels a tug on her chain again.... Aye alright I'm getting to you lot.....

1) I'm kept on a rather short chain by some of the forum members
2) I'm the only active Scot here (I think) and someones got to keep the side up, no?
