Yup, this is pretty much what it’s like all right. ---

As long as were here, you guys haven’t noticed a stray Raffer wondering around have you? Pulloxo escaped without his collar on a week or so ago and we haven’t been able to find him. ---

I especially like the Drunk Tank. I’m guessing if we had one here it would reduce the number of bannings… nah, probably not. ---

I really keep meaning to join that one, I’ve got one over at Mellophant (assuming it carried over from Domebo) but I don’t think I’m at 'raffe. One board right now is plenty for me. ---

I belong to the GB, although I rarely visit. The Group seems a little young for me…at least based on topics of discussion. ---

Lots of people post at both. > [@Harry1945](#): > > I belong to the GB, although I rarely visit. The Group seems a little young for me…at least based on topics of discussion. The threads do tend to skew towards the immature side. If people want to see more serious topics there are spots to start them (there or here). There are lots of people who would like more in-depth discussions but for whatever reason don’t start any threads on the topics they’d like to see. I say go for it! ---
