in Chit-Chat
Most of us have actual pictures of ourselves, and in any other community I've ever posted, you get grilled unmercifully when you try to present your real self or put yourself out there for public display.

We can ask stupid questions here without getting personally attacked. This is a refreshing difference from most message boards I've ever posted on.

There's so little bullying here... It's crazy. Don't know if it's moderators or the "niceness" of the community itself, but I've never posted on a community that doesn't bully members who don't agree with forum consensus. This is a really free community to express one's opinions on health/fitness.

There's WAY fewer "keyboard warriors" or people hiding behind the internet on this forum. Lots of real people.

This place is SO tolerant of newbies. Same question over and over? Sigh, but we keep answering so people feel welcome and assimilate into the community.

Seriously, this place is the kiddie pool of internet forums. Great job all who have contributed to making this place what it is.

(absolutely no sarcasm here, seriously, try another board if you think anything you complain about on this board is better elsewhere.)

    I agree with John here. I'm John too -- see, we're off to a good start already. LOL. But, yes, very nice people here. Weird since it's online. The support has been great. I've posted on unrelated forums and the people were so rude and merciless. You get what you sign up for, I guess...

    Let me know if that deposit comes through PayPal ;)

    Seriously though, I've read the boards on Bodybuilding.com and a few pregnancy sites.
