Firstly, I have to let you all know that I am seeing other forums.
But don't worry, they mean nothing to me, baby!
Really, I have a lot of memberships in forums, discussion groups, and assorted social media. Some under the RR name, others under aliases or other pen names.
I have so many that sometimes I forget that I am already signed up there.
So what is the point of this post? To point out that this is actually a pretty cool forum.
Really, it's a jungle out there. Easily 70% of the other forums out there are absolute shit!
Either the members are all klan members, or the staff are soup nazis.
I even belong to one forum where the staff AND members are all extremists.
Seriously, this forum doesn't freak out if you say shit or ass, as long as you don't use it for a ad hominem attack.
This forum expects members AND staff to be polite.
If you post in the wrong sub category the mods just move it and send you a quick missive.
The other day, in another forum, I got a 2 page warning for starting a thread in the wrong folder.
No soup for you!
I go to one physics forum where they let the gold star members do whatever they want, and if you report them for abuse, you get demerits.
One time I admonished a guy for being rude, and I got a demerit for being rude by pointing out that he was being rude.
Internet Jim Crow.
