Its my opinion that all forums are useful, and each does seem to have its own personality. Some forums are extremely strict as to what they will allow, others more liberal. (Sometimes people moan about how the moderating is done here, ha you should join an american forum I could mention. The admin won't stand for any nonsense at all, and people don't just get their stuff removed, they get booted off at the drop of a hat! Good for him I say)
I know that Steve who administrates his forum does so for absolutely no personal gain whatsoever, and I think that's commendable. It can be a very difficult and time consuming job moderating forums like these, and its difficult.
There have been cases on all of the forums I know of where abusive, hurtful, racist and even libellous comments have been made, and I take comfort in the fact that this is done by a tiny minority people, often who hate to see others being successful.
I have learned not to take anything too seriously on forums, and if someone gets to you its often just better not to rise to the bait. However, I am always sad to hear that someone's been hurt or offended by anothers comments.
And you are rather hot for a window cleaner Shocked The guys on here have been amazingly restrained with the sexual inuendo Lips Sealed
Or could it be that the wonderful moderators of this site, who are both handsome and talented, have been working hard?
I'll leave the judgement to you!
All in all, I'm glad we've got such a nice mix of people here and elsewehere who are willing to share their knowledge and experience. And of course it is really great to have an "international" flavour with Debbie here, and there's also a friendly australian chappie who pops in from time to time. (And we have Karlosdaze and Mikey Y from Spain - have you guys got your mags yet?)
