I like it here although I don't seem to fit in too well. :p I still go to other forums, but they aren't quite "hang-out" forums. They are more specialized forums. Each forum has a different community and serves a different purpose.
Yeah, y'all don't welcome newbies well. But what I noticed is that newbies that just jump right in are readily accepted.

I was a bit intimidated when I first came here but stayed because of the level of intelligence and openess (never seen such cuss words used in any forum before!

). I also stayed because of Undertoad. He seems very mature, intelligent, and even witty! hehe....a forum with such an admin, I wanted to hang around to see what it has to offer.
Oh yeah, there's never a boring moment. There's always some kind of drama going on.

:p
