This week's poll was suggested by crossyuuki. Oddly enough, I don't think we've ever asked this question before. We've never really done a survey on who our users are and why they stay

It was kinda random. But, mainly To create my own series list, as my ever-growing lists ware growing larger day by day and becoming very hard to maintain on a text file at time which I used to do to keep track.
Also To find a new series to read obviously. Duh!

I really don't remember anymore, maybe to find scanlators site when onemanga shut down long time ago mmm...

I will change this world mmm...
So the world can change me mmm...

It's been so long that I don't remember exactly, but I think I stumbled onto the site while I was searching for info on the source manga of an anime I watched. And that was the beginning of an almost decade-long love affair...with no end currently in sight 😀 😛

to keep up to date with manga release. i remember those times there were only a handfull of manga aggregator and some scanlator didn't have website or the website is not updated. this question really takes me back. naruto and bleach were still in tenth chapters and the famous manga were kaminomi pretty face and gto

I was looking for info on a specific series or author and i signed up to to create my own series list, as mangatraders was running behind on a few series.

I also read EU/US comics and am a librarian.

My answer would be "other".
I actually only heard about the site after already joining a scanlation group, believe it or not! 🤣
The first time I came to the site is because my group just had me release a chapter, and they wanted me to post it on here. 😃

Kinda hard to remember by now....

Probably to see which new chapters were released (no matter if I already followed a series or not).

I'm also in the camp where I can't remember exactly why I "first" came to MU. I feel the reason I registered was to find new series or keep track of what I was reading?

I think I had seen the site around before I actually tried using it/registering though. I probably had googled manga names and clicked on MU thinking it was a reading website before.

I don't remember why I started using MU. However, I was using the site for around a year before actually registering for an account. I got an account to edit some series info, because I just don't like the sight of inaccurate data, you know.

This is actually the exact reason why I joined MU.

Now that I've learned how invaluable the Lists function is, I don't think I can ever leave.

It seems a lot of us have forgotten why or how we first got to MU. I think I found this site through some mentioning of it on one of those aggregate reader sites. I was in elementary then and didn't realize aggregate sites took scans from scanlators until I found MU.

^ Also this.

looks at poll
You expect me to remember!?

Man, I haven't the faintest idea... Definitely to keep track of my lists now though.

It seems a don't remember option would have been popular, I'm really not sure what I wanted (2, 3 or 4 are the more probable) But I really liked when we easily had the groups links before so you can easily read in their page instead of going to aggregator sites.
