Wow...
I just have to tell you something. But first I have to say that I don't really know where to post this. I don't know if I should be posting this or if I should write an email to someone.
I have to tell you what a great forum this is. This forum is soooooo much better than the other large forum out there I just don't have words to express my thoughts.
I can come here, admit I had surgery in Mexico and I am not slam dunked by the nasty people of the world. I am not told how stupid I am, I am an idiot, I should know better, blah blah blah. I happen to like my surgeon and I would have surgery again in Mexico ANY 'ol day!
I don't have other members here chasing me down trying to sell me stupid CDs on visualizing my weight loss becoming a reality (my band does that for me just fine). I don't have people telling me I'm a total loser because I am not a Christian. I don't have annoying people following me from thread to thread to tell me about all the other people they don't like.
Holy crap! NORMAL people post on this site! I am so thrilled, you just have no idea. I no longer feel like I am a first grader again with the people around me. Folks here are adults and they behave as such!
This was really confirmed for me when I saw that two people who made me want to scream in frustration from the "other" board... well, they have had their accounts suspended here. YeeHAWWWWW! Things are done well here.
I have little experience seeing Mods post here but from what little I have seen LBT doesn't use bigots for mods but they use real people instead. Nobody is trying to sell me anything, I absolutely love it here.
The posters here are fun, they are warm, they are friendly, they want to have a good time, they are real, they have a great sense of humor, the topics are great, the mods are normal, the threads are allowed to live a life of their own, ... I'm just sincerely very impressed.
I promise you, my intent here is not to diss the other forum, it really isn't. But I can't help but to make comparisons between the two. It's just very nice here and someone deserves to know that.
You guys do a great job, tell me where to send this via email and I will. I was so annoyed and frustrated I closed out my account at the other place. Now I am regretting that, I wish I would have told the normals to come over HERE and THEN closed out my account.
Seriously, I've been a mod before and it is no easy task. I like that the mods join in on the discussions, they participate, they are friendly. It's not easy trying to please everyone but you guys seem to do a great job.
Cheers.
