I think part of the problem is now there are more and more new, mis/uninformed owners coming here and the people here are very serious about this hobby and come off a little too forceful sometimes. We do have the animal's best interest in mind but have to remember that the new owners were told completely wrong information. On the other side of things, there are more and more people coming here and asking for help and opinions but complain when it is not what they want to hear.
Too many people want to have the last word basically.

Re: Concern for the site
How sad...
I agree that this site needs to be more friendly. A lot of things are responded to in a "I know better than you" attitude, which puts people off.
This is a close-knit community, and it needs to be opened up a little wider for those who want to be a part of it.
Play nice, everyone.

Re: Concern for the site
Even though I haven't been on here long (a few days...:shh:) everyone has been very helpful and friendly. :D I'm sure there are the threads that get bad, but for the most part I have completely enjoyed the site. Thank you! to the ones that make this a good place to learn, and I hope everyone can be like that sooner than later :colbert2:

Re: Concern for the site
The larger the site grows, the more "drama" we're likely to have in some threads. Just because we're human and personalities will clash. Not that some are "bad" (although we do get those on rare occasions as well) and others "good" but just that sometimes we have "flint," "steel," and "tinder"...and when those three personalities get in the same thread...suddenly we have "FIRE!"
It's not a fault of the site, I don't think. Nor a fault of the staff. We do our best to walk that tightrope between allowing our members as much freedom to express themselves as possible...and stepping in to keep things from getting out of hand by locking occasional threads.
The thing that keeps this forum as consistently friendly and welcoming as it is...is the community itself. We can't "legislate friendly" by making rules to force everyone to get along. All we can do is lead by example. And while not everyone who participates here will always follow...MOST will. ;) And so long as most of us continue to try our best to lead by example...we'll continue to be truly the most welcoming forum in the herp world.
