Since creating my first account 7 years ago, I have had 2 serious relationships from here.  I have made friends long ago that I STILL regularly talk to.  My views on many topics has been affected, even changed, by all the discussions and debates I've been involved in.  I think I've become better able to help people in real life and more understanding towards people, since I spent so much time being a support leader here in the past.  I don't come on  as regularly as I used to, but I'd say it's definitely made a huge impact on my life and I'll never forget it.

It helped me when I needed it. For many years now it's just been where I go when Facebook is boring. But at one point it was really important and I'm sure I'll remember it for that.

I'd say LiveWire is one of the tools that has helped me grow up, and be able to deal with things more

I met my best friend here, someone else who is still alive because of me, I turn to here, even if it's not the forums when I need someone to listen to. Those are few and far between irl, but I'd say 90% of people will listen to anyone.

I've also had my heart broken by a member or two, but the fact they're still in my life over longer relationships I've had irl and met irl prove the sort of people that stick around, to me

It has affected my life in the way that I used to spend way too much time here and on the internet in general. I wouldn't say that I regret spending my time on Livewire, but I definitely could have spend my time in a more constructive way. As much as I enjoy my alone time infront of the computer it can be very harmful as well.
I could have used all this time to become a better person. To do something productive and get something out of my teenage years.

I should have studied more, read more books, travelled and broadened my horizon. Then again....thats what I try to do now so I don't really know what I missed for all those years where I didn't get out much.    

Maybe I didn't miss anything after all.


 


You really should have spent that time becoming a better person.  At least it would have been some positive use of your time, as opposed to your uselessness on this site.



From what I remember about Anthem; I am leaning towards "agree" on this statement. But what do I know?

No, it hasn't. It gave me a place to go when I was trapped in an apartment on the east side. Once I had a new bike built, I was on the street, and my internet use went to forums where I could discuss SOHC4 with other people who were also keeping one going. When I moved into a house with a yard, I put together a sizeable collection of junk and started building stuff.

Then I went for years without internet access, which I never considered much loss. I was too busy at the time. When I did get online, it was to post some old car or motorcycle for sale.

By the time I came back, I felt like I was too old to be posting on a teen site, and I never thought twice about college. It wasn't just the tech forum that brought me back here, but the people who post in it. The general attitude and atmosphere.

As the years go by, or as long as my account still functions, I'll be around from hot spot to hot spot, and try not to make too much of an ass of myself.

I think it's because this is the only site where people know me.

Yes, what do you know?  Seriously?  You're leaning towards "agree" after hearing honest words from her, straight from the heart like that?  People have more than one dimension, usually.  And people can change.  I have many fond memories of her.
 


Answering the OP; one word: Dominion.

That stupid game had might as well come over here and suck my balls, that think never worked, it was too complicated, and just started fights and animosity among us.  I mean, do you remember how stupid EVERYTHING ABOUT IT was?  And what was the point of doing it when NATIONSTATES ALREADY EXISTED?  I'm sorry, but Dominion sucked and was a bigger flop than the XFL and LW is better off without it.

Next time, stick to something simple.  Something involving cards and betting points maybe.  I doubt that'd turn out well though, since we all know half of us will cheat anyway, and it's just going to create tension here.

I don't think I'll ever forget LiveWire, I met two close friends on here and also got some well-needed advice from eHelps and topics.

I don't think I can ever forget LW. It's my one secret place, save for one or two people that know about it, where I can come vent or get advice on personal situations. Also when I joined LW I was a lot more close-minded and over the years it's helped me be more, well, open-minded and realistic.

Yeah, I pretty much totally agree, at least if you're referring to my first stint.

The second part, what I took the most from here was  learning not to argue when it was pointless. That sometimes its better to just stfu and let it go, even if you're right. It was a very, very harsh lesson done at a bad time, but it worked. I still mess up sometimes, but I do better most of the time.

I did have a relationship from here which is over, and also helped several people irl.

I have been on LiveWire since I was 13 years old. I am nearly 20 now. Every single traumatic event that happened along the way I would find myself logging in, and even though a lot of you can be complete ass hats at times I've honestly learned so much from this. I've gotten some humor out of you all, thicker skin, and met some amazing folks that I will always love.  So I'd be lying if I ever said I don't think this place has affected my life.

This community helped mature my political views. Those that are regulars in the politics board would probably agree with me when I say I've undergone quite a radical shift in ideology since I joined in 2007. So yes, this community has affected my life significantly.

It's been a place where I could rant, mostly. Just a place to go where I can say what's on my mind without jeopardizing my relationships and such in real life.

I have gotten some good advice and encouragement, but I can't even remember now what it was.

It's mostly just a website. Somewhere to go when I'm bored. I don't have friends on here, I certainly haven't ever gotten into a relationship because of it.

I'm sure it's affected my life in some ways because literally everything does, but not in a truly significant way.
