    I just wanted to say that although I haven't been on many forums, I have been to a fair few in the past few months trying them out and I can say that BY FAR, the people on here are the nicest I've come across. So many forums are filled with people just aching to critisize others and make them feel stupid for ever posting anything in the first place....but you guys are a really really great bunch and I just wanted to say thank you for changing my mind about forums! There ARE indeed good people on the internet :D

        thanks

        two examples of forums that make you feel as the OP descibes (sorry for possible spam, feel free to edit as you see fit)

          I know what you mean. Other forums are sometimes really unpleasant. I get a sick feeling every time I log into one particular one, wondering if there will be another flame war. People really like feeling superior to complete strangers. :roll:

            Maybe it's because we're all generally around the same age and obviously have a lot in common in all of these posts....some of those other boards are just so mean, I can't understand how anyone could go back daily to be slammed. Maybe I'm just a wuss, I don't know.

            Are these forums you listed ones that make you feel good or make you feel like crap?? I'm dying to find another board similar to this with good people!

                It's mostly just 12 year olds trying to be cool who are the mean ones.

                  This is the first forum I've ever joined. I felt pretty wary about joining, fearing that some would make fun of me for posting something, but you guys have made me feel at home here. Thanks.

                    I'm a member of 3 forums including Retro Junk. This forum is one of those forums where I feel comfortable.

                    I've taken a look at some forums and all I've seen is trash. I looked at one forum once and there was hardly any thing on there about its theme. Just pages of flames, insults, and put-downs.

                    There was another forum that was bad I visited. I clicked on the link to take me to the forum, but instead, it gave me a virus.

                        This the first one I've been on that's made me feel like I'm part of a community rather than just some random guy posting stuff on the net.
                        Though for all I know you all secretly hate me.
                        :D

                              I feel safe here and nobody is acting like they are the "expert" of something and that you are wrong.

                                this is my first forum so i have nothing to compare it to. but i can say that i felt at home right away, so much so that its always either the first or second web page i open up in the morning when i turn on the comp.
                                theres always awesome people to talk with and cool stuff to talk about

                                  ...........Gotcha!
                                  :P This forum is probably the nicest one I have ever been on. Mabey it is the programs we were raised on, or mabey it is the luck of the draw. I hosnestly feel that this fourum is willing to say things than to shut people down who are diffrent

                                    Yea, this is definately a nice forum with a great community. 8)

                                    I'm a member of a couple of other forums, some nice and some not so nice but this is one I come back to regularly.

                                      Thank you very much for the props Azumichi. :)

                                      It is a nice set up that we have here. I've been to many other forums and even been in charge of several of them and this is the only forum I've come across that is as large as it is and still has a community that's very welcoming and not populated by a bunch of immature newbie haters.

                                      I think it's partially because RJ attracts people who are more mature on average, mainly because of all the quality shows it has. ^^
