What do you use Konachan for...?
Surely it's not ONLY to get new wallpapers right? I mean, you could use this site to show your friends how awesome the art here is, I for example use Konachan for new wallpapers for my Youtube videos * , and I just like to show my friends all the anime that is on this site... Also, I like to download some pics here and then migrate them to my PS Vita, and then use the pics as wallpapers on it...

And the forum here is nice, a lot of intelligent people here, whilst I'm actually used more to trolls and flamers from past experiences...

So, what do you use Konachan for...?
A bit obvious here... I use it as a forum where I can chat away and forget about my online persona. xD

I also use it collect awesome anime wallpapers, though. Currently I am at post #96274, so I still have another 100k or so before I catch up @_@

PS: I have a total of 10883 wallpapers. Enough for one-wallpaper-a-day for 30 years. Why do I need even more? I don't know O.O;
I hate to say it but I can't find much time to look for new wallpapers these days. However I always have the time to chat in the forums because the people here are so fun and intelligent ^_^ It's so much better here than the rest of the web which is overrun with trolls and haters -.-'
I use it for picture viewing and wallpaper collecting. I can't even close my eyes without seeing some kind of anime chick now. Also, I use it for light net-working. I've met a few nice people that I like.

Now that's the kind of super-power I'd want. Maybe I just need to lurk more in this place until it happens.

*puts on otaku glasses and starts browsing*
I've just seen SO MANY anime girls now that my brain is full of them. I just love them all too much. I'm attracted to anime girls more than I am to some real people. Anime girls are just so sexy and cute.

I've got a weird, slightly bi thing goin' on. I'd NEVER touch a girl in a dirty way though. Just F.Y.I.

Well that goes without saying, I'm the same of course. I still strongly remember my favorite kona girls from back when I still browsed.
I come here for the obvious reasons. Look at wallpapers, view comments on the art work, keep track of the forum, etc, etc.

Ghaha. Are you going to pay the doctor/dentist bills?

I don't really use the post section anymore, and 99% of my time on Konachan is spend in the Forums.

If your attraction isn't of sexual nature, then you can blame the sexification of women in the media (and it's quite worse in Anime). When you grow up exposed to the "magnificent wonders of the female kind", you sort of end up brainwashed to love women anyway, even if your body isn't into it in a sexual way.

It's so entrenched in our culture, women don't think anything strange about it anymore. @_@

Supposedly it's a net-win for guys if girls like looking at girls too, but it bothers me slightly to see the gender roles so shifted/unbalanced.

I still wish I could see more anime girls when I close my eyes. Me, I only see natural, beautiful women everywhere. Just not in anime form :< The anime form is so much better xP

gender roles? surely someone of your knowledge and intellect must be aware of the falsehood of such outdated and baseless darwinistic views on society! whats next... men have no feelings and women cant do math. i really hope i misunderstood your point!7
SK700, Mnessie, this isn't an extension of the Philosophy Thread.
You know how they say: anime, more addicting than crack. I'm here for my daily dosis of anime girls and to share the fun. Unfortunately, today I can't access the main page because of my extremely slow connection (speedtest). Then I'll just have to watch more anime to get enough for the day ^_^

Edit: forgot to mention I also collect images. Got 300GB of it and 200GB is game_cg.
Haven't used an anime wallpaper in a long time so.. i just come here to spy on you all.

rargy is always welcomed to spy.
Me? I have no idea anymore.... I got close to this place. I'm comfy here. I like Konachan I guess. I rarely check the images. Well, everywhere I rarely check the images. I guess I"m just interested in the communities.

I will continue for as long as konachan is around.

A most magnificent, and eloquent reply, if I may say so myself. :D I imagine this is the answer that accounts for 95% of Konachan users? Or would that be 99%?

Also, you just shattered Yakkety's original premise:

Sorry for the superfluous answer, but I just thought that reply was golden and I shouldn't let it pass.
