/wg/ is one place I have consistently seen humanity in the world, making it a good safe haven to return to after a long day in the real world.

Also some people make some truly bitchin wallpapers, so there's that.

Collecting wallpapers have been my hobby since I first got a computer.
The stages I went through were:
>default pictures on the computer or some crappy screenshot I made 6-9
>those crappy photoshopped pictures of monocolored things and something rainbow in it when I was 9-13
>gore 13
>minimalist 14-16
>bright and colorful shit 16-now
>nautical things 17
>astronauts, less saturated stuff, cute pixel art, quotes on a background 16-now

Not much anymore. I am super sick of birthday threads for sure. I also feel like I see the same shit over and over. I dunno, maybe just cynical. Anyways at this point I think I come back to scour threads of interest for the 1 paper I actually want among the chaff, so its sorta like a game.

Basically the same reason as you OP. It's also by far the most relaxed board on here, probably because there isn't really anything to argue about.

>>6664609
This.

Also I got very good at KLWP but now the standard is shit so I rarely give that thread a look and maybe post.

Honestly I first went to this board I was just trying to figure out why anyone would. Even if you like switching wallpapers on a weekly basis (which I do), why wouldn't you just use google? Then I started to enjoy the different styles, how people set up their UI, etc. I enjoy photography and over the last couple of years I've been getting good with gimp so this is right up my alley. I can appreciate a clean desktop better than I can apprentice an artist painting.

chilling to any kind of music and browsing to clear my mind of thoughts. I get myself all worked up sometimes and I just need to take a step back before I move forward to try to tackle the problem again. And... collecting wallpapers is nice. I've far to many to use, but I still collect.

It's like looking through all of these images and seeing little bits and pieces of the lives and thoughts of other people helps me to discover a little bit more about myself. I feel at home here.

I guess my reply is because I feel at home.

I always had issue finding things I like at 100% or very close, and /wg/ always fulfilled that need. I started collecting Wallpapers as a hobby too. And, like most of anons, I had an evolution of taste, liking different things and all.

Pic related is the 1st wallpaper I got when I got my own PC.

I've been collecting/changing wallpapers ever since I first started using the big cubic family desktop, and I never found anyone else who understood my hobby of looking for more wallpapers. I didn't even look into /wg/ when I first started using 4chan though, that wasn't until 3-4 years ago. Never thought it was super weird to change my wallpaper all the time until I got a cell phone and my friends commented on how it's always something different.

I especially come here because you guys have the exact same things in mind when I'm looking for a wallpaper. The comfy kind of stuff that makes me fantasize about a whole other life when I stare at it - the environments, the rain, seasons, landscapes, stuff like that. You guys get me. Thanks.

Here's my current wp by the by.

There all the fuck I want here, I always discover new things and shit.

I like to collect wallpapers. Over the years I've gathered near 80k of them and I'm still looking for new ones, and this is a great place to do that. Also, the IMT thread is a good thread for practicing my photoshop skills, so I like to glance in it every so often.

See OP, I've come here out of boredom, but I just keep coming back. I feel like every paper tells a story and we either choose to decipher or ignore.
Some people find deep insight into a wallpaper. Others just say, that's cool, that's my new wallpaper.
I always love the people here. /wg/ tells you happy birthday when people forget. /wg/ shares a paper with you when you ask and you share them back.
I feel like you guys are my friends when my friends are gone. I feel happy. Even when threads are slow I still comeback.
It's not as hectic as /b/, pityful as /r9k/, judgemental as /mu/, or acts like any other board.
This was one of my first boards ever.
People help you here with photoshops and image modification threads.
People on /b/ would call you a faggot.
People on /wg/ would help given you follow the rules.
Feels threads on /b/ are just screen caps.
Feels threads here are conversations where people can just let themselves go.
Even provocative threads here are nice. They just barely push the line and manage to be 'artistic' and 'tasteful' without being full on erotic somehow
And out of the boards I frequent, this is the one I come back too.
I love you guys, I love you a lot. I really do. And I'll keep coming here until something happens.

So I come here for a lot of the reasons that other anons have said: it's relaxing, the people are nice, it's a cool way to expose yourself to new art. Imma throw a new reason into the ring tho.

Psychologically, it's interesting to see what images people surround themselves with when they can choose absolutely anything. Do you like to look at nature? Video games? Girls? Esoteric japanese artists? Whatever it is, it definitely says something about you; why don't you tell us what that is?

I like coming to /wg/ because not only is it a smaller board where the turnover isn't as much, but it's more friendly and welcoming. People don't trash others, and when people do start talking, everyone is civil and supportive. I took a long break, over a year, from /wg/, and coming back it feels like nothing has changed, and I love it.

As well, learning about ricing and such inspired me to get into DIY. I got into woodworking partially because I learned about customizing my computer, and I wanted customized furniture.

City has it's advantages, living out in the nature has inconveniences because you are away from some of the discoveries of modern life.
If you can stand loneliness and manual labour and power outages try living in a village for a while.

As for me, I come here once a month to pick a new wallpaper. Then I chill until the next month comes.

Ever since I've discovered this board about a month ago, I have found myself a new set of hobbies: from growing a collection of carefully curated wallpapers to ricing my first ever homescreen (and soon enough, my desktop and startpage). While this board has inspired others to take up photography or image manipulation, /wg/ inspired me to take on web design.

I have been learning so much, thanks to /wg/ and the community.

There's the same reason as everyone else, board is comfy, nice people, nice wallpapers. But what's different is the kind of people you meet, everyone is so varied and yet so similar that you don't feel so weird. Meeting people who like jazz, black and white movies, or even collecting porn is cool for someone who's never meet someone like that before. It makes you feel like your accepted and not fucking weird, it's hard to explain.

Can confirm, this is by far the nicest board. I've been going to /pol/ a lot recently because of how hectic this election cycle has been (t. American). People there are really great, but there's a lot of insults and swearing, tensions are high and after every Trump speech the board is flooded with shills and most of the non-election threads are derailed, ignored or slid.

I like coming here after all that madness. It's a great way to relax and unwind.

I come here strictly for new wallpapers, the conversation on this board has to be some of the worst because nothing holds anyone back from posting since there is nothing to learn.

/wg/ is an incredibly chill board. Sometimes I just play some music and browse for maybe an hour or two. Really puts your mind at ease.

Relative freedom from ideology while still feeling like I'm among other humans.
Also wallpapers. I like changing my wallpaper often.

I come here for dank papes, but I figure that every time I come here, it's like a kind of clearance is granted upon me upon arrival. Felt it also when I'm lurking or 'booting in gondola threads, but this whole board is like one huge gondola thread, in a sense. Seeing stuff that pleases the eye and sometimes the mind brings peace. I enjoy being here. It's kinda like a hidden cove where you go from time to time to relax.

I don't even know this place so much as to say anything how is it like, but thanks for keeping this board up, fellow anons. Whenever I pass by, I'm grateful of you passing by as well.
