Why did you stick around on the community? :)

[Marjo]

Hi everyone!

It's really good to see all of you posting on our forum and especially lovely to see you staying and participating in other discussions too after posting your initial question or comment. 

I'd love to hear more about this and your views on what makes the forum interesting for you, so I have a few questions if you don't mind! 

Do you know/remember what it was that made you stay on this forum originally and become a regular on our community?

What makes you come back? Is it the topics, help and support, friends... or something else?

What types of discussions do you enjoy reading and participating in the most?

Looking forward to your comments!

You seem to enjoy the help aspect of the community a lot then @Anonymous  What about other types of discussions, what would interest you?

@jonsie How long did you work for O2?  

@Bambino, @adamtemp64 Good to see you around guys! Thanks for your feedback and letting us know your concerns. We hope to introduce some changes in the future to improve things for the community.

@Cleoriff It's amazing to see when a member joins, as you said, as a "technophobe", and we can see a transformation there as they become part of the community and learn. I didn't get to see this with you as you were here long before I joined though!  

Hey @Jenny105 nice to see you again, welcome back!

I came here looking for help/support (which I found) and then just kept coming back.
Hopefully I have provided help/support/entertainment to some during my time here.
I know there have been a few foot in mouth moments so there should have been a few laughs!

[Cleoriff]

For me you have provided all of the above @gmarkj

Not forgetting your brilliant guide on how to download your bill. One I use frequently...Thanks for that.

[gmarkj]

No problems @Cleoriff.
I quite like writing the how-to/guides - takes me back to my training days, and even now for work writing them gives me a sense of satisfaction.
Must admit to laughing at quite a few of the interactions of the "regulars" both on and off topic, so good to hear it is not all one way.

You have provided all 3 for me as well @gmarkj and I've learned a lot from your How To Guides. Many thanks for that and for making me laugh, much appreciated and glad you're a member.

Ermmm yes but @Marjo you will never see me answering questions about rooting and romming and flashing. Having said that, no-one is allowed to talk about such things which is good for me, as I can never appear to be a dumbo...

@Marjo I mostly enjoy helping with tech such as iPhone or iOS & pay monthly. Being a Refresh customer has given me a lot of insight to that particular point
