    We currently have had 4577 members join this site, but apparently only 511 of those are active members. And I can safely assume that there are less than 511 truly active members on this site.

    So why do you still visit this site? I've put some general reasons in the poll, but feel free to discuss your reasons in greater detail below.

    I, personally, stay here because the members are great and fun. That's my main reason.

    EDIT: I forgot to add the radio to the list and I know that I've forgotten many other reasons too. If I've missed something, feel free to mention it in this thread.

    My reason isn't up there so I picked the next best thing.

    I stay for the community, of coarse. And partly for RPs, although I'm very alone over there a lot of the time.

    This community's just something I really feel a part of, and to cease my visiting... I'd feel like part of my life'd been lost.

    A lot of fun memories. Makes me feel obligated to stick around even if people don't like me. Also it's fun to read the drama threads.

    And you, B-Dog.

    It'd have to be you.

    Because Everypony is key in my plan to rule the world.

    Or the community.

    Pretty sure it's the community.

    I'm still here because of the community and Roleplay(hell, RP is what brought me here in the first place). I've made many friends here since joining and I feel like I belong here. If it wasn't for the community and Roleplay, well, if it weren't for the RP I wouldn't be here in the first place...

    If I remember correctly, the 511 number is from over the past 3 months(?), or that is what I heard. There's a stupidly small percentage who post daily/a few times per week.

    Either way, my reason isn't up there. So I'm going to choose you, B-Dog. You're fit and the reason I am here x0x0x0x0x0x00x

    The community and the fact that it isn't overcrowded with members. Everyone I've met so far has been really nice and it's great to be a part of the fandom.

    I'm still here because I only just got here a moment ago. (Though my reason for joining was that this forum seemed much more active than the others I've been to)

    I prefer the community here to that of the larger brony sites like RainbowDash Network.

    I've only been here for a month now, a little less than that I believe.
    I was scared when I first came here. My friends were gone, and I had only just embraced being a brony a few months ago.
    I didn't know anything about other bronies, other than what the media portrayed, (which, as with the WoW community and the trekies, I chose not to believe)

    When I found EP, I was terrified. This was a big step for me. Not only because I was about to meet the bronies I shunned for so long, but also because I'd never been a part of a community before.
    To my surprise, I was met the the most enjoyable fanfare I'd ever seen! My introduction quickly gained hundreds of views and comments, all from helpful, supporting bronies like me.

    I can say beyond the shadow of a doubt. The community is why I stay. The chat is fun, the radio is great, and the RP is always a blast...
    But it was other bronies like Yami, Lyon, Yeti, Tempest, and even Mike all greeted me, with even more I haven't mentioned. Almost all with help and support.

    Even more, on my very first thread, not only on EP, but the internet as a whole, I convinced Mike to make (what I at least believe to be) a major addition to EP. See that little Mario under my name? That was all me :p

    The bottom line is, When I was alone and scared, I made my way to EP, terrified of what may come from my "noobishness".
    Instead, I was welcomed with open arms. People I had never even met before treated me better than some others I've known for years!

    Boy that was a mouthful. But to sum it all up, So long as there are such wonderful people in the community, I have no reason to leave.
    The chat could explode, the radio could be shut down, and the RP section could be vacant for years to come.
    But as long as I have the wonderful friends I met here, and as long as the community remains such an uplifting spirit, I will never leave.
