I finally made an account there a few weeks ago, and I am absolutely hooked. There are so many cool subforums, and the community is actually pretty decent. If you want to find me on there, I use the same username I use here. :P I often frequent the emulation, furry, zelda, and autism subreddits, as well as pcmasterrace. I've also been spending some time on the wiihacks subreddit.

This may sound crazy to some people; I've definitely heard of Reddit, but I have never actually gone on the site before.

Truth be told, I actually avoided making an account there for quite some time because I thought the community wouldn't be very friendly, and I didn't like the rules some of the subreddits had. Turns out most of the subreddits, at least the ones I use, are pretty laid back.

I use imgur which is sort of reddit :P Reddit's layout confuses me and looks like it hasn't been updated in more than 10 years and just has too much words. I prefer pictures or videos :D

I am. I have 2 accounts there with more than 100,000 karma and I'm considering getting a third up to the same level. Reddit is all I do pretty much every waking moment(when I'm not here of course!)

I don't even know what Reddit is.

I just recently figured out what Twitter is.

I'm afraid I'm just not on the "up and up," as the young whippersnappers are wont to say.

I'm not a fan of chans and imageboards in general. I've been to 4chan (http://www.4chan.org) a few times, it's alright however I wasn't a fan of the nudity on the site namely people posting pictures of their penises and fishing for compliments.

I'm more into forums. I heard about this place before but I hesitated because it seemed crouded but in reality it's nice. I divide my time fairly evenly between Wrong Planet, Stack Exchange (mathematics and "ask Ubuntu"), YouTube, Tubeplus, a NT forum and just plain old research. I like to research certain topics in mathematics and cryptography.

Sounds to me that you went on /b/ 8O Uh yeah, don't go there. You'd probably prefer the "blue" (SFW) boards with topical discussions rather than... whatever we can call the "random" board (/b/). And you're 12? I don't think 12 year olds should go on 4chan really, but if you do then go on the worksafe boards. They do have very strict rules unlike where you went :?

I've been on reddit for about a year. Same username as here. I also have a troll account named Wozzly. That account has the most karma.

I've seen a LOT worse on 4chan than just pictures of penises. *shudders*
