Quote:What attracted you to nixers.net?

I honestly can't tell anymore. I just remember stumbling across it coming from some somewhere on Reddit (But definitely not /r/unixporn, I think it might have been /r/freebsd, but as stated.. I don't really remember.), clicking through the forums for a few days and finally signing up because I like the topics that were discussed and the people seemed to be relatively (huehue) mature in the way they enjoyed their hobby. Most distro-specific communities were on a very egocentric trip, especially the Arch community. It felt different here.

Quote:What kept you coming to nixers.net?

The atmosphere, which is almost solely created by the people. Even though there is an elitist touch it has never been hostile towards people with different interests. Most people here are avid ricers, I'm not, Most people here tend to use one of the BSD-derivates or Arch, I'm more of a Debian guy. Most people here have the desire to create the most beautiful solution to a problem, I just want it to work more or less. Yet not even once I have been attacked for my choices. Same applies to all other topics that get discussed, even though it might look hostile to new people because of the regular declaration of faggotry in the IRC-channel it's a slack community.

In addition to that it's always awesome to see what people come up with. Unforgettable is the 'four-o-clock-in-the-morning-shit-we-should-all-already-be-asleep'-esque discussion about a virus-like-software with total autonomy that would be programmed to change political systems. This was really amazing.

Quote:If there was two things that you would keep from Nixers.net what would they be?

I go with pizzaroll1 here, I don't fully get the question.

Quote:How do you think we differ from other communities?

I'll have to think about that. There are too many thoughts going through my head.
