Why I'm here and why I'll be coming back.
I've been luring this board for a month or so. You guys are great. Here are my reasons for de-lurking:
- Post volume and quality - People treat each other well without being oversensitive pansies - Variety of topics. One topic doesn't dominate nor does one person - People are free to do their thing (within reasonable limits). |

Ditto!
I like the tone and content of these forums as well! Thumbs UP, y'all.
Things are extremely boring at my forum right now, and it is always nice to encounter other peeps out there for some cyber bonding. ;-) |

I've been on a forum for a few months where the dominating topic is politics. They bicker and bicker endlessly. At the same time they have a few members that don't fight clean and use dirty tricks. The asshats get banned, forum traffic drops off, then the jerks get invited back in.
Things just stopped being fun. |

Sometimes, juju becomes a big whiny baby, but then we slap him around, give him some sugar and he's fine.
For the most part, self-policing works very well here. I have only seen UT remove two people for being intolerably irritating since I've been here (3 years). Come on...you've got to get us a link over here...we'll turn that place upside down. |

What kind of board makes people take a vow of secrecy not to reveal the location of the board to outsiders?
(you're not talking about freep, are you? if you are, just give a little thumbs up on your next reply and they'll not be any the wiser ...)
