"The friendliest online community?"

:tears: I am so sorry that you feel that way. All I can say is that I hope that I did not offend you at anytime....as sometimes I myself can be quite outspoken. I have not taken the time to go back through your posts to see what has happened. What I CAN tell you is that I have been to many forums especially when I first started. I felt chastised (probably spelled wrong :rolleyes:) and was treated very rude when asking questions as a newbie. I stumbled across this site and I have had a great experience. I do think overall everyone has very good intentions here. We are all going for a common goal of taking care of our slithery friends the best we can. Though we all might not agree....I have found that you can agree to disagree and move forward with no hard feelings. It has been my experience if someone rubs you the wrong way.....just bring it to their attention the way you would want them to bring it to your attention.....with respect and dignity. And in the future if you do decide to stay on with our forum...please feel free to ask me anything at anytime....I would be more than happy to help you or at least point you in the right direction.

Again I am sorry that you feel that way and I hope that you stay on ....everyone makes ammends .....and you have fun on this site as I do.

What do you feel I was not professional about?

Are you not familiar with the "Internet, Serious Business" Song?

It's called trying to lighten the mood. :P

As for the OP and what she has to say, other people put it better.

I just summed it up.

Again, its how you take things.

Seems like some people want to find offense in things that are not intended to be.

The key to the internet is to not take things personal.

Again, I will reiterate my previous point.

It's the Internet. Not Serious Business.

I am a member of all kinds of forums and this is hands-down the best run, fairest, and friendliest of any I've tried, including one I was a mod on :oops:

Stick around - it's really not bad here :gj:

Seems like your expectations or perceptions might be a little unrealistic - people are people and getting along is a skill.

The wonderful world of forum drama. With running my own forum thats still new but growing fast, i deal with MANY problems in PM about certain things that dont even pertain to the forum, mainly about a single individual.

Remember most of not al forums have a block or ignore setting. Dont like the person block em.

I was on this forum years ago, I didn't put much into it and didn't get much out of it. I do not belong to any other forums so I can't compare. I returned this last year and tried to help and expand my learning and to pass along what I've read and learned. I am more of a lurker than anything. I have had post or two deleted from a single moderator and a few PM's ignored from the same person. But I take it in stride, yeah there may be a few threads I think would get more or "better" responses but I don't let it upset me. I really enjoy most of the people on here and have met a few also(all great people), and I am sure I will meet a few more. I don't have a suggestion to make it better so my story ends there. I will continue to lurk and chime in when it is deemed, but lately alot less frequently.

There are many forums out there, I think I must be registered on a dozen of them and I must say this is the nicest one, I am not saying that because I am part of the staff but because this is how I have always felt it’s my home and always will be (and I would not have agreed to be part of the staff if I didn’t feel that way)

As a staff member I have seen the worse (the drama, the bickering, the crying, the accusations the insults etc….yeah being a mod is that much fun :rofl: ) but I have also saw the best that this forum has to offer, and the best example of that is when this community came together to help and support one of our staff member after a fire burn down his place.

This place might be a bad place for YOU but it doesn’t mean it really is it just does not meet YOUR expectations, people will always be people some you will like some you will like a little less, and sadly no one can make people like, get along or agree with each other all the time.

I believe there is a forum out there for each and everyone, and maybe there is one out there that might be better suited for your need if you feel this one is not.

And remember
