Warmoog Posted January 12, 2004 Good question… I’m a newbie here and although I’ve contributed to a few others discussion boards in the past, this is definitely ‘the one’ I’ve been looking for. As you might already know, there are quite a few Somali forums out there. Finding the right one, however, has been somewhat of a painstaking search for me. I came across discussion boards that should, for the sake of accuracy, just be called boards because there was no discussion. Some contained plenty of contributors and posts but had an obvious lack of substance and, thus, appeared pointless and superficial. With a few others, the vital signs of life often disappeared quickly and, as the stench of brain-farts grew, I often lost interest and wandered elsewhere. All shall remain anonymous! My initial observations here have noted the following – contributors aren’t afraid to write long articles… and they use full sentences! Simple things make me so happy. Honestly, considering this site’s lively atmosphere and insightful contributors, I think my long search is finally over. And as far as what motivates me to write, I would have to say that stimulation and boredom both play a role. Sometimes I feel a strong urge to write (often to no one in particular), but interacting with other nomads makes the task that much more engaging. Salaama.

Whatever my interests are at the time, I try to find the suitable site to indulge in. Thank you.....Everything I do revolves around sitting behind a freaking PC Mon-Fri 8-9 hrs a day I'm sure the many forums I pass time on during that period is my way of keeping my sanity....And the day surely passes by really quick. Same coin but different sides, Yes my job involves staring at the screen for atleast 8hrs a day but I don't get a single free minute to get online,(while at work that is) so I ask when do you actually get to do the job you're paid to do if you spend most of you time here?? p.s are there any vacancies in your line of work?
