,
I was wondering, being new and all, what attracted you to this Forum, what things do you like best about the Forum (and its people), and what has made you stay?
So far (though, I know my opinion won't count too much, as a newbie!
), I was attracted to this Forum by how organized it is and by the content of the posts. People looked like they enjoyed what others had to say and had fun, yet also said something of substance without thinking too much of themselves. Overall, it just looked like a friendly forum without so many members that it became hectic and overwhelming!
Some of the things I like best about this Forum so far are the people (and how they welcome you--thank you again!
), the Forum Adminstrator (Paul, you seem to really know what you're doing and have a lot of interesting facets to your forum 
), the different locked Houses a person can pick from and belong to, the different sections one could post in (not too detailed, not too broad), as well as the respect everyone seems to have for each other.
So far, so good for me! I like it, and I look forward to staying.
I'm glad that, even though I am new (like several other people who joined around the same time as me), I am treated with respect and like 'older' members who have been here much longer. I'll be interested to see what some of the 'older' members of this Forum have to say about what attracted them here and what they like!
