What do you like best about the cellar?

I am always fascinated by the way people interact. I tend to be most attracted to threads that have to do with personal affairs, crisis', and advice seeking. i also enjoy th extra curricular events. I'll have a hard time voting on this one.

this joint seems to have an absurdly high ratio of intelligent, thoughtful individuals to 13 year old wankers.

Long live the Glorious Revolution. Let Reason Triumph.

Where is the obligatory joke answer?

Look, LJ...if you're gonna get all serious and shit on us, we're gonna have to tell your wife, and make her get you some counseling. Really.

it was "other"..........I didn't want to limit you. :rolleyes:

Shouldn't one of the choices be whale penis?

*gollum* *gollum*

In case you're involved in some weird bet i'm calling you on "golluming a lot lately aren't we?"

Oh jeez... are we going to have to have a special private forum to document Cellar bets????

I first looked at it because of the IotD and that's why I come back every day...

For the love of God, don't give Lumberjim any ideas.

I like to hearing about events and what people think about them.

I resent that! :mad:

Why? Because you ARE a 13 year old wanker?

For a GREAT many visitors, the answer would be "Other: Image of the Day." I don't know what the numbers are, but I understand that a lot of people come just for that. Of course they're mostly lurkers, and they mostly don't wander from the IotD section... so they'd never even see this thread.

For myself, it's a combination of things... for one, you can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting somebody smart. That's important. For another, you can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting on of Jimbo's threads. That's also very important, because... I don't know how to finish this sentence.

There are two things which satisfy my intellectual lust... intelligence, and humor. But since I can't find either, I come here. Har har! :D

I like the steamed clams.

Thats easy, it's the people. The bb software isn't anything too special, and it isn't a niche board (whale penis's aside).

The cellar has an excellent core group (even the ones I called assholes) and perhaps as important it's the right size...too much bigger or smaller and it wouldn't be the same.

The only thing I don't like is the lack of avatars (small ones), it's nice to see a picture of who's talking (if they choose), and you can quickly identify the poster, plus it would add a bit of color to a really bland blue/white/black page. Minor nitpick, but it's the only thing I would do to 'improve' the place.

That and if only we could somehow draw LJ out of his shell, get him to post a little more often. Oh...and the whole lack of amateur porn thing.

I like the size of this place. It's big enough that conversations occur daily, but small enough that you get to know most of the regulars. Also the fact that such a wide variety of topics get covered makes it much more interesting, especially considering the intelligence level here.

IotD is the hook for many people. I got interested in the Cellar because of it, then lurked around a while.

I'm here for the people and personalities as well as the interesting discussion (if you're going to do another one of these LJ, allow us to pick more than one).

"The varried points of view"

The very unique grammar and personalized speeling.

It's comfy, I can take my shoes and girdle off.:)

I considered that, but then i thought everyone would vote for everything, and there would be no point in the poll. By having to choose one, you chose the one thing you like the very best, and that's what I wanted to know.

I guess I asked in the first place because I have been somewhat troubled by my own obsession with the cellar. You all know, and occasionally rip me for the fact that I spend a lot of time reading and posting to this site. Here's more on that subject

I'm here for the all nude male revue. :D

I like the rich, Corinthian leather.

This place is grown-up without us taking ourselves too seriously.

This place is grown-up

I resent that.:p

I don't even know how I wandered in here, but when I did, I was glued to the site for hours. I came back and wore my lurking hat the next day.



hmmm. glued. flypaper.

I like:


The in-depth debates
The other Cellar Dwellers (for the most part)
The varied points of view
The opportunity to have my point of view heard

and

The opportunity to have my point of view challenged (like that's NOT gonna happen!;)),


If I can only pick one, it'd have to be the varied points of view--that kinda encompasses the rest of them.

I expected the boundries of knowledge and experience, on a website, to be limited to nerdy pursuits. Not so, in the Cellar. There's a vast pool of knowledge and experience to draw from. And twice as much opinion. ;)
