Why I like this site
In the last week or so, there have been several "heated threads" that had to be closed. I thought it would be a good idea to remind ourselves, and each other, why we like this site. PLease take a minute and share your thoughts.
I'll start.
Of all the herp related forums I cruise, this one is my favorite. The reasons are simple. Here I find a sense of community balanced with the availability of excellent information. On some of the other sites, there's great community, but the available info/expertise doesn't compare. Then on some others, every expert in the world is online, but some are more concerned with demonstrating their expertise than helping someone who is trying to learn and do better for their animals. (They mock and slam because they can't be bothered by hobbyists or newbies).
At this site, I find people who are funny, smart, committed to their animals and to helping others, and who are forgiving when one of us sticks a foot in our mouth.
I look forward to checking in everyday to see new picks of familiar animals, and here updates on people's various adventures and misadventures.
Thank you to Natas and the whole staff for providing a medium for this community. I'm sure it's often tempting to throw in the towel, but despite the occaisional bickering, etc., the site is appreciated.
OK, who's next?
