What percentage of KMCers have some sort of personality/mental disorder?
Let's face it: plenty of us spend hours per week, maybe even per day, on a forums board that looks like it hasn't seen an update since the Bush administration. While any rational human being would've left this dying site, a select number of us choose to remain.
Now why is this? If I had to propose a few theories, one might be that nostalgia keeps the old-timers here; I'm talking about pre-2010 users. However, this nostalgia has evolved from a healthy dosage to an inability to let go of the past to where what goes on here controls their lives.
At the beginning of 2017 I posted a thread with a chart of the number of active users on the forums. Unsurprisingly, new member growth remained stagnant throughout the 3-month period. I spend the majority of my time in the Star Wars forums, so I can only speak for it when I say that the few users who do join appear to have some type of grotesque personality trait. Some seem to be borderline obsessed with a single character to where they attack anyone who says the smallest non-praising comment about them. This level of obsession is something that I would only expect to see among those with aspergers syndrome and other autism spectrum disorders.
From what I've observed, we have some members who give off the vibe that they rarely leave their residence to socialize and live in the real world. As a result, they have skewed perceptions on political issues and we see it in the form of racist and ignorant posts in the general discussion forums.
I'm going to stop now as I feel I'm beginning to not make sense.
Anyway, it should be said that not everyone on here is grotesqued. Some members—though not a majority—appear to have healthy lives and don't cling to these boards.
What do you have to add and what's your figure for the OP title?

imo it hardly has anything to do with time spent here, i spend like, an hour daily max, and that's mainly while doing some more quality stuff like 3d graphics on the second screen, since i'm not so braindead as to not know this place is an unproductive waste of time similar to browsing memes and i'm still autistic and antisocial

I have taken meds off and on for depression/anxiety, but I'm perfectly normal and likable socially. College educated and employed in the field of Physical Therapy.
I just like coming here because it's a place that you can be totally yourself without typical social restraints, and not only that, but also discuss interesting topics and express ideas and concepts that don't get discussed much in real life. Plus I consider myself a bit of a movie-buff, so it's nice to have a place to discuss them.
I do struggle with bi-polar, but I'm working on that.
So far, while I do have periods where I'm not really myself, I can still cope well enough to blend into a social group without anybody noticing. It just tires me out to pretend, I suppose.

A common trend seems to be that we behave nothing like our IRL selves here, which I too can agree with. I'm comfortable being very open as my portrayal IRL is polar opposite of the neurotic, insecure, immature user here.

I tell good looking chicks I argue about this shit and dare them to judge me. Granted you can't pull this shit if you're not witty and cocky. You'll get eaten alive but if you have those gifts you can do whatever you want. I don't give a **** and I'll tell you this apprentice women appreciate you more if you truly don't care.

I have no interest in women other than the one in my signature. Most are manipulative, blood-sucking fiends whose only purpose is to suck the life out of men for the purposes of raising off-spring. #MGTOW

Use them for your needs then cast them aside. Once you learn how you'll see them more as objects than people. That's when the fun begins my apprentice.
You judgmental douchebag who cares if he faps to toons. You're one of those who tries to be what some believe is "normal." You make me sick. You're a lemming.
