Just _stumbled_ across this forum normally I just move on when I come acroos these. This time was different however, I read a thread and noticed the worthwhile posts and lack of flaming. So thanks for being a legit place to learn and ask question. -Thief ---

Welcome from another n00bie. I saw things very different that you did. My first impression was that there are people here who are not afraid to say what’s on their mind, and for the most part they are allowed to do just that. Either way I hope we both find what we’re looking for here, looks like a great place to hang my hat. ---

I hear ya. “Welcome” from a fellow newbie. I found this forum after leaving another forum because I felt like everything I wanted to say would eventually offend someone. I found myself filtering my posts so much that I just gave up participating at all. Here you can cuss, be sarcastically funny, do pretty much whatever and you’re accepted. 🙂 ---

We have a good start here. The introduction thread isn’t in GQ and there are fully written sentences in it. It’s not even a crazy cat lady rant thread. No offense to CrazyCatLady of course. ---

We’re crazy here, but it’s mostly an affable, approachable sort of crazy. (Except in Great Debates and the Pit. Those are sort of “Abandon All Hope”-ish.) ---
