I am starting this thread to express gratitude to Alex for starting WrongPlanet.
Please feel free to add your reasons.


Why I love WrongPlanet:

There are people here that are much smarter than I and they are willing to enlighten me without making feel stupid. (I love that)

Beacsuse I don't feel like a total social reject here.
It's allowed me to start to accept myself.
A sence of belonging here.

Lot's of cool people here.

I could not grade the site based upon interactions, as the participlants are themselves not the site as a whole in my experiences thus far.

It is big enough where someone of an alike interest can find one another and talk online.

It is slow even on a cable connection, but it is free. There are some bugs with BBCode formating as when I try to place it, it does not work. It could however be adware or something on my end. Also I could do it manually.

There should be a subscription version for no ads, I don't like them.

This website could be profitable, if it is not already.

I like it.. Needs to be faster.

Joking asside, because it works. People here DO try. For the most part, if you want to debate something, they will debate it.

I love WrongPlanet because its helped me to understand myself and AS a lot more. It is also a great opportunity to speak to others who actually understand you and vice versa.

I think you're smart. You don't seem unintelligent in the least, Bland.

As for WP, I really enjoy interacting with an eccentric and intelligent community and also have people who will sometimes read my monologues on Abnormal or Bio-Psychology. It's great when some people actually do listen sometimes. I wear others out around me all the time to the point they stop listening. I know that sometimes happens on here, too (hey, one can only take so much, even Aspies) but it happens less than IRL. :)

Okay, Doodleman, I will give it a try. The first post said, no one here understands spanish. (I'm pretty sure)
The above statement: yes, it's incredible because others understand and there's many friends, thank you.
Is that correct or close?

I love it here, because this is the place where I can be myself. I can share my feelings without feeling akward and talk about my Obsessions without recieving the dreaded Eye Roll.
