I can honestly say I have been a member of just about every forum out there, got wind of what they were about and just left. I'm not gonna lie and say this is the only place I go to and talk about the hobby, because there are some great sites out there with knowledgeable people that like to help. But the atmosphere here cannot be beat, period. That is what makes this place so welcoming and keeps people coming back. Sure there can be a few bad apples once in a while but the zero tolerance policy about being rude or making snide remarks is what drew me here. People don't act like they know everything and actually welcome newbies with their countless questions. Because let's all face it, nobody knows everything and it's not like we jumped into the hobby with that attitude either, and that's how some other forums work. It's so disheartening, watching an admin congratulating mods for ganging up and picking on new people and laughing at them when they blow up and leave. That's not what this hobby is about nor should that be tolerated. This community is really starting to grow on me, such a wholesome family friendly atmosphere. Well done to everyone, staff, newbies, and routine regulars alike for keeping up the positive attitudes and being so respectful/welcoming towards one another.
