To echo everyone else, JF has given me a lot of friends (I just noticed the majority of them seem to be guys...I guess the girls just don't like me
 ) And of course, I know a lot more about Japan than I did in 2007 when I joined.

I joined because I wanted to find out more about Japan, and talk to people with the same interests as myself.
I remember the very first day. I came on, signed up, said hi, and then proceeded to get into a heated discussion about parents and children. Nothings changed, eh? I love this place because it's given me entertainment, when I need it. Drama, when I need it. Intellect, when I need it. And idiots, when I need it. Also friends too. Good times, good times.

Well, we've had some heart-felt responses to this. I guess I should post mine, not that it really matters :P
JF has given me a ton of friends who are willing to put up with me, even when they don't really have to. I'm lucky to have these friends because these are the people that make my day a little better, or sometimes even worse, but we really forget about those times and stow it away in the past. I can honestly say that even though they really shouldn't put up with a person like me, they do anyway, and I'm grateful for that. However, this forum has given me a LOT of headaches and annoyance. Honestly, when I first came here, it was a lot better off than the past year. One mod and a former mod seem to despise me a lot because of a little incident I had with one of them. I know that my opinion on the former mod(we know who I'm talking about) was extremely harsh, but it needed to be said since nobody else was going to do it and I took the consequences of my actions really immaturely, so I can understand why they feel the way they do about me, but they honestly need to forget about it instead of holding grudges. Also, this forum has given me a little heartache. I think the people that I told about the certain event that happened with a certain member on the forum know what I mean by this, so that's pretty much all I have to say for that. All in all, this forum is really great, minus the fact that a lot of people dislike me, but the friends I have on here make up for that.

It's given me a place where I am able to interact with other people. I never really had any friend until recently. And each day that I am able to talk with them gives me more courage to be more social! I never expected to make friends but I'm glad I did. But the world will always keep spinning and we will always be left behind in the dust!  LIFE is just a game That you can never WIN   while PLAYING becauseDEATH sucks!

Well i actually haven't been here long but JF gave, me a few friends and some interesting stuff to read. I think I've only gotten in two confrontations here. They were nothing in comparison to arguments i read from JF in the past. I havent grown close with many people but still. I gained knowledge of how many retards there actually are in the world(not here of course). I generally loved this forums hate of a few types of things: Sparkley vampires, overactive fangirls, and Japan freaks who come here and expect all they will get is Japanese people. Well I still manage to come back here so its okay to me. I learn alot from reading and posting here as said in the past. haha thanks.

i'm met some really cool and intelligent people, some whom i can now call my friends. =)
..but sometimes the ignorance here gives me a headache. I stopped coming here for a while because I've grown up a little. When i first came on here, i was really into Japanese culture, and I've drifted away not because i hate it but i found other things that interest me more. "I'm sorry, but i must have given you the impression that I actually care about your opinions"

A hell of a lot of troll stories. A lot of knowledge of Japanese that I didn't once have (not that it's a lot of knowledge, just much more than I used to have). Not really any friends though....seems like everyone answered that way O_o
In all seriousness though, this site used to be a place that pretty much kept me alive, when I was at my past school. I remember waking up every morning at like 5:30 to study Japanese and lurk JF until I had to go to school, once I got to school I'd go to the library and do the same thing, and then I'd do the same after school (I was pretty much a loser). Now, it's good for laughs, it's always fun to see what iPhantom has to say, since he seems to have something to say to everything. Or see what people say to a simple dancing picture that apparently looks like a sex position, and people posting pictures of themselves in their underwear....Well, you get the point. JF pretty much always as something to talk about, usually not related to Japan at all.

what has jf given me?
knowledge of a culture (whether or not the OP is Japanese or not) knowledge of good music (ahhh L'arc-en-ciel) knowledge of manga/anime (other than Sailor Moon, DBZ, etc) knowledge of the term "troll" (seriously this laptop that i write on is my 1st compy...i'm somewhat computer illiterate aty times) at times (like the majority of some of the jfers here) i do miss how carefree the site was...talk as much crap as you can but its not like ALL the threads were unrelated to Japan...its a shame that some have been nitpicky about things in general now...well i guess thats the some of the new generation. but i'm very glad to have met some people from here. it'll be cool to actually meet some in person one day...my list would be very long! oh and yes i do keep this site as my homepage...have been since i first joined >>   s the 10th doctor s Verbal & Taku
