Re: THIS AIN'T NO STEENKIN' CHAT ROOM . . .

Some are rather limited in their scope--they are political, or they are restricted to a single interest, or they are regionally focused. Many are impersonal, or worse, cliquish. AFUZZ had its cliques, and it had a huge amount of anonymity, which meant that some people felt left out, and others took the opportunity to flame others with wanton abandon. A lot of people there were concerned with getting stars or green text, and not that focused on the "interaction."
This place is a dump, face it. We got advertisements, we got conservatives who are allowed to express their opinions, we got christians who are allowed to profess their faith. But that really don't get in the way. Among the many sites i've visited, this is the least given-over to cliques and exclusion. This place has the broadest range of discussion i've found anywhere. By and large, the people here are nice folks who take the time and trouble to care about their fellow members.
What do you like best about this site? Obviously, i like the fact that there really is community here, and it is, mostly, non-exclusionary (that's just a caveat in case some do feel excluded--i've not noticed it).
Hell, i'm feelin' expansive and friendly today--i'll even let conservatives answer this question.
Hey I've just found this thread, and reproduce here the first post, and that from the esteemed Setanta.
Even though I gravely distrust any forum which allows me to become a member, I do like the diversity here, and derive a lot of fun from upsetting conservatives, among other pursuits.
