Joined mainly because I was Researching drugs and many of the answers i found on here. I also became interested when I saw that hip forums had music forums and a variety of other interesting topics as well, so I joined.
I was banned from one message board and the other I was posting on dried up, so I needed a new place to hang my hat and HF was my first choice The rest as they say is history Hotwater
I was on shrooms and I searched "I want to know the truth!" this was the only thing I didnt have to pay for
Well, it took several months for me to really do it. I had just declared myself a pacifist and was looking up what it meant to be a "hippie" when I stumbled across hippy.com. I fell in love with the site. It had all the cheesy goodness I was looking for to define me at that moment during my youth when I was unsure of who I really was. Later, 9/11 happened, and then the Iraq war and I realized this place had a forum. I was a member of other forums for a long time, so I thought I would add this one. I don't remember more than a week passing since when I haven't visited. I may not always post, but I am always here. Since 2001.
Researching RC's and looking for leads (bluelight is great, but I needed something new over the years and overall people are cooler here).. I ended up finding one myself, but I stuck around anyway
I suppose I joined because I wanted an outlet for my views on life back then. A certain HF member mentioned this site on another online community. I wasn't really comfortable being a member there, so I decided to give this one a try. Not that it made much positive difference because it ended up being one of those "same shit, different pile" situations... But at least I keep coming back here...for some reason. *blinks*
i joined to meet people who get what im saying when i go off ranting about the government and enviorent and everything else thats messed up with the world today hahahaha.
i needed a place to have my personality and still have a home....but i'm still in the process of "moving in and getting to know the neighborhood" with that said, any of my neighbors wanna have a beer?
I had just spent several years getting majorly fucked up by trying to deal with psychic people in my life who would no longer speak to me, so I googled psychic forum and found the one here populated by people who seemed to know a thing or two. I started talking about my issues and got good feedback and advice, so I stuck around and started to find healing. One of the best decisions I ever made.
Im pretty sure i clicked the wrong link on google when i was loking for alien abductions and such. It took me strait to conspiracy thread and then i was thinkin damn this a big site. hooked.
I had been reading it for a couple years, and sometimes I wanted to give my opinion on the subject, so I created an account.
i googled hippie one day many years ago and found hippy.com, then I started reading the political forums and got sucked in. I never posted anything though, then I got sick of politics so I stopped coming here. A few months ago I came back for some reason..I can't even remember why..and I made an account and started posting shit and now i'm addicted.
I don't even remember, I was so high on dxm. I think I just looked up "free forum" (I just found out what a forum was) and when you type "free speech forum" in google, Hip Forums is the first to come up (and I think the only (plug)) I was stoned out of my mind for the first three days and BBAD and Codmouse were super nice to me so I stayed :eggnog:
I googled "hippy" or "hippy forum" or something. At 14, I was lonely, and looking for likeminded people to talk to.
