Mostly it was the sense of humor and sense of family. In fact, the only true common interest that we ALL shared outside of PM Dawn was that feeling of family, and knowing that no matter how raucous we got with each other either in threads or in the chat room we were down with each other no matter what.
There was a time that I thought that I had found an entire forum of friends-for-life, even though I had never met any of them. This was really important to me at the time personally because my life-long best friend had moved to Florida, my cousin who had always been like my brother was no longer talking to me, and my other life-long best friend was so overwhelmed in his own personal life that we barely saw each other anymore. This place became my therapy, and I ended up doing what I had once swore that I never would, spending most of my time on the internet.
In truth, I still feel like I have found friends-for-life here, like Chief, Syxx, FrEk, Ether, Hero and Harm, but the sense of family here is dead and buried. Any sign of fun that starts to emerge is usually swiftly stifled by anger, oversensitivity, vacating members or threats of banishment. The kicker for me was when Hax threatened the admins for posting Is*it*my*turn's bootay pic, and then followed that up with something on a personal level that told me that he didn't consider me the friend that I had always considered him.
So now, I just come here because I feel obligated to Be and most of the rest of you, and go elsewhere for my fun.
I honestly don't even know that I won't face some sort of repercussions for saying this...
