@Uncledaddy:
@Totalanimefan:
... so it's habit - at least in part. I think it's partly that for me too.
Have forum communities turned in to "background noise" yet though? - you know... turning on the radio or tv just to have something going on??
Forums General Chit-Chat Topics of interest

I joined bc I was nostalgic for the art communities that sites like this had to offer.
It's a lot less vibrant these days tho. I ended up staying bc I met some cool people here.
tbh when I post in the forums outside of nonsense shitposts with friends, I'm not really looking for human interaction or conversation. actually I'm looking for the opposite. I post to kill time, specifically when I don't have the energy to talk to anyone but I still want to write out some thoughts.
which is why I take my sweet time replying to people, ahaha.........

@Hachi: Yeah, actually that makes sense too. It's more dynamic an activity than some things, but less demanding of time and attention than other things (like video games). I get that.
★ ★ ★ 🤔 generally if it's not chatter with my friends, i gravitate towards art discussion and sometimes manga/anime/games. but i feel like there's only so much to talk about with those subjects too |D
i like to complain about things in general too haha--
@pachi: Yes, especially when you realize that people's art experience or understanding is vastly different from your own... it makes it difficult to continue the conversation after a while. But even with similar backgrounds, there's only so much you can say too "Ummm... yeah... the 'whatever' isn't quite proportional to the rest of the piece"...??!!!

I am only on these sites because I have been in the past. I find a lot of what is said to be between friends who already know each other and it feels like I am butting into a private conversation. I also think a lot of people are not open to challenging what they think and will easily get angry with you if you do not say what they want. I like meeting people I disagree with because I can usually learn something. But everyone gets so offended and angry I feel like what is the point of trying anymore.

@TomYum: I feel this a lot on sites like this tbh, both of those things. Which is part of why Voltra is the only avatar site I'm on any more, and will probably be the last. Not the only reasons, but feeling like I can't fit in with the community as a whole is a major factor.
