    I'm new here too. Been here for 10 minutes. For what it's worth, seems like a nice place we've found ourselves. Did you come from another website? Reddit perhaps?

      I was a long term lurker on Reddit. What I didn't like was how aggressive it became. I did not ever feel like it was a community for me. I was looking for a community that was more intelligent. So far reading comments and posts (for the time being anyways) this place has a much different/better feel

      The problem I had was that poop jokes and puns would get upvoted higher than people contributing quality information.

        Same with me. Lurked for about half a year and then became an active user. I really wanted to believe that it was a close knit community. I even took on a certain pride by being a member of what seemed at first to be an anonymous family. In the end, however they really know how to show their true colors when serious matters arise. Turns out all of those "Hivemind" jokes weren't actually jokes. Reddit's hate felt like a cancer to me. Anyway, it's behind us now. Thanks for replying and here's to enjoying our stay!
