Why you lurk on Facepunch rather then other forums
29 replies, posted
For me probably it's because Facepunch is pretty unique:
Facepunch/Other forums
Respect is based on join date + avatar/Post count
Actual funny users/people that try to be funny
meme = ban/meme = funny
Mods that post/Mods that think they are too cool to post
You have a chance of becoming a mod/no chance, unless you donate like $500 dollars
loose "unimportant" bans/permaban for double posting
Thread start
Facepunch is better.
Active and more interesting. Occasionally useful (hardware and software section).
oh and also you can get banned on Facepunch for being an idiot. Where other forums you do not.
Lots of faggoty threads here.

It's like 4chan but with much less trolls and the people here are actually funny.

The Explosm.net forums.
It's a HUUUGE forum, with a lot of very different sections, so instead of going to another forum, people just check other sections.
I visit facepunch because it gives me a massive erection. Other forums only get me half way there.

I don't lurk on facepunch.I lurk on /b/
It's fun
There's tons of people, so you'll get replys faster.
There's always something interesting to be read :buddy:
FP is very active, perfect for time consuming when you are bored
Free entertainment.
Facepunch is full of intelligent users, is really actice, has varied topics, is great for when you're bored and is by far, the best forum I've ever seen.
Because i've made some good friends here.
But first it was beause of the ratings :)
-Better grammar (much better).
-Great and ban-happy mods (most idiots get banned, though it was even better in 2005, now they let too much stuff go unpunished).
-Good (mostly) and (nearly) idiot-free (when I say idiot, I really mean someone dumb, not just an asshole) community (say what you want, but it's a lot worse in other places, most of the internet is filled with people so stupid you can barely believe that they are real. Heck look at Youtube.).
Because Clock Crew pisses me off.
Because it's sort of a "middleground" between idioatic but popular and civilized but obscure.
There are probalby far more intelligent and civilized places on the internet I could spend time, but they're generally small and don't last too long.
(Popularity makes forums dumb, unfortunately.)
it's not really lurking if you post but yeah people here seem somewhat intelligent
Because it's large, It's been my main forum since 2006, and it just feels like home to me.
The sections are great, General always has good topics, people filter out the shitty news and put in only the good stuff in the News section, there are a lot of great videos in the video section, etc.
Just good shit, man.
I lurked for like a year early 07 time to time
then I decided to join finally, just less a year now
So active and friendly people.
Friendly?. Okay, we are just joking around sometimes, but here for many chats. Lots of fun and drama.
Because there are always people on no matter what the time is.

What he said, this is by far the most active forum on the web afaik.
Besides, it's simply more entertaining.
I just found facepunch and stuck with it, Any other forum I visit looks cluttered compared to this.
