This Doggone Forum
Alright guys, I need some [somewhat] serious responses to this thread.
I got lucky last week, my teacher for Rhetorical Analysis of Media assigned us a project that most moaned and groaned about, but not I. The assignment was to post a thread on a forum board. I really lucked out, being that posting here is a regular ordeal for me anyway. So I figured I'd start a topic on forums themselves. What do you think about them? Obviously everyone here likes them or, well, you wouldn't be here. But in what ways do you think that this forum is a positive thing to you as an individual? P.S. I will be printing this page and turning it in for a grade, so please try to stick on topic, and no posts that I'll have to delete. Thanks guys!

HAR HAR I think this place is positive for me, it's good for unwinding. I get a lot of good movie and music ideas here as well. There is some good discussion and even laughs now and then.

Ive said on may occaisions that I learn about twice as much on this forum than I learn in school, and I firmly believe it.
Though admittedly they are few and far between, the serious discussions that we can get into around here are incredibly stimulating. I rarely actually participate, but I always read through the serious threads here. Reading different views from people of every walk of life can really expand your perceptions...I can say for a fact that Ive given more thought to some the topics brought up here than I do for anything in school. Also, it's made me a better typist and improved my grammar/spelling ALOT, simply through giving me a good reason to practice.

I come in here to post my thoughts on various matters, take part in a few conversations with (I suppose) individuals akin to peers, relatively speaking.
There's points of view flying around the place like bullets...some conflicting, some just different. I think it's interesting to hear about a persons individual perspective on various things...you can pick and choose who you talk to, and who you don't, it's like a huge room where you can butt in on any conversation you find remotely interesting to you. Asking for help and/or advice, or just talking about "stuff" gets a varied result, again, when there's this many opinions/p.o.v's about, you're garaunteed to find something (even if you have to pick it out amidst the nonsensical rubbish)personally useful to you. The forum is a good information source too, a place where people gather and post information about upcoming and already released movies, games, books, tv, comics...along with their personal insight. You come to realise that there's a few people up in here with similar tastes, and their references often lead you to watching/seeing/playing something you really like, something you may not have otherwise noticed or come across yourself. The "horror" side of things...for the horror fan, it's great...the core of this place is horror, the movies, comics, games...etc we speak of...primarily comes back to horror. Again, for reference purposes, I think that's great. If you're stuck for something to do/watch/read, you're more than covered here in terms of suggestions. Throw in a healthy argumentative outlet here and there, some humorous jokes and stories that make you cringe, and that's just about this place in a nutshell...as I see it anyhows.

I think it's definitely been a positive thing. I get to "talk" to people from all over the world, amuse or piss them off and be able to read their different opinions, not just about horror, but about anything that someone brings up. Me like. :)

Too bad you don't get a grade for this, because forum posting doesn't really go very far in determining wether you're to become a dishwasher or a doctor.

I came here for help on an art project 2 years ago. Somebody called me a fucktard and someone else said I looked like a gorilla, but I did get help eventually. I guess I still hang around because it's a good way to stay up to speed on what you crazy young people talk about these days on this new fangled interweb.

Thanks for the opinions, guys, keep 'em coming.
And easy on the profanity, eh? This is for a school project, remember.
