I probably would've found stickpage a long time ago if it weren't for me not having internet until I was in 7th grade, which was when I actually registered here. Registered during the summer of 2005 and like a week later, SP was down so I re-registered after a few months in August as "teh_wooz". I was flamed multiple times so I left and came back December as me!!
The reason why I can't leave is because when I first discovered stickpage, I had nothing to do at home, because the only RPG I've played at the time was Runescape and I had quit Runescape to animate. So during the time period between August 2005 - June 2006 (?), I was actually animating and trying to better myself, but shortly after, I got bored of animating and I started to just comment on Flash animations rather than make them myself.
Now at this point, I discovered first person shooters and I became less active, but I'm one of those guys that gets pissed off very easy when I die a lot consecutively in games, so every time I died in the FPS games, I'd slam my keyboard, leave the game and head over to SPP. Around 2007, I started to stop animating altogether and started to post in Main excessively and that's when I started to really get to know more people outside of the animating circle in this forum.
I come on and I check the Main section of the forum first, to see if anyone has an interesting story to tell or if someone's insulting someone else. I mean, what's the point in "leaving?" It's like creating a barrier for yourself to never go to the site again and it's not easy. I check up on Facebook, SPP, and Yahoo! daily to see updates and it's just a habit now. I don't think it's going to go away any time soon although I've been averaging only 4-7 posts per day now when I used to post around 16-20 times a day.
My post count used to go up pretty fast, but it's been in the 6000s for the past year and a half.
I don't know why I typed this up.
I joined SP, got flamed to the point I wanted to leave, but then I thought I should give animating one more shot. So I saw Stuff's amputation animation and I felt a sense of hope, so I pm'd him to learn that he was an awesome guy.
So, Stuff single handedly kept me here, which could be a good thing.... or bad... Although with time I stopped sending him wave after wave of pm's.
And runescape was kick ass until I lost all my stuff in the wilderness. >_>
