I was looking at the site for quite a long time and had no intention of ever becoming a member.

I started noticing the same people commenting with a similar sense of humour as me. Then one day, there was an 'Ask Pandas' that caught my eye. One of my favourite commenters had put out a plea for help. She had reached a crisis point in her life and was not in a very good way. There were very few responses and most not very helpful (it was the early days of
ask pandas).
Then she just... disappeared.

I found myself wondering what had happened (not normal for me at all), months went by. Then out of nowhere, a hilarious comment from her. I had to register to reply to her comment and let her know that I had missed her humour, we started a discussion about mental health and before I knew it she had roped me in to giving advice to others, and sharing my comments & opinions (correcting people was all my own doing).

She's gone from BP now (I keep in touch in other ways), but I decided to hang around.

I got WAY too tired of having a perfect comment and not being able to share it. To be honest I thought that even then I would still be one of the people that nobody knows, but at least few people on here have seemed to notice me, personally I like the change. :)

It popped up on a random Google story feed. I clicked on it, read it, then began my descent down the rabbit hole. I found oldsters like myself all the way to HS students commenting on things that actually made me think. I came to really love this community because there's (typically) room for everyone at the table, and of all the dozens of people on here, there's only a handful who are just plain mean and they're easy enough to ignore.

I was using 9gag for memes, but it became a bunch of social media without memes, and an extremely toxic community. I found this, and it's way better.

I would look up stuff like “Overprotective parent stories” and found BP that way. One day I wanted to comment something because I related to the article or something. BP was my introduction to social media and I use it behind my parents’ backs because my mom doesn’t want me on social media cuz she thinks I’ll post my address and stuff…

My school district banned almost everything except for this site. I want to talk to cool and fun people. I was pretty much bored because I didn't have a phone so I couldn't contact my friends at school. Also, bp makes me feel better...sometimes...when there are no trolls, lol.

I find I like to comment on random stuff from time to time. This is a website where the replies aren't 90% trolls/racist/misogynistic/transphobic/homophobic/intolerant in the other countless ways to be intolerant. (Of course there are exceptions, but most pandas seem like good people).

I’d been on Bored Panda without an account for a while using my reading kindle that was so low-power that it couldn’t run google - yes, google - properly, but somehow had a web browser option and could run Bored Panda. At some point someone said that Wales was a principality in the comments of a British memes video, and I decided to get an account purely so I could tell them that Wales is a country now. A silly reason, but hey.
