the reason is, they seem to attract good people. how many times has a stranger just offered you what youve been askin for or offered to help out in anyway they can. like the person on here whod run out of liquid and got offered to be given some for free by another member. dont matter what forum i use, wether it be this one or any of the other motorbike forums or e cig forums i use. people are always willin to help out how ever they can. where are these people in the real world ? cos i never find em. big cheers for forums no matter what they are about

The generosity of members on this forum is second to none though , I've been on the receiving end of free stuff / help & advice and it only seems right to give something back when the opportunity arises

The people here are lovely, but some of the nastiest, most psychotic people I ever knew existed have been on forums

This forum is fabulous. And yes, i agree with rybes. Where ARE these people in the real world? I have been living in my street for 2yrs and not one person has ever stopped to say hello and i don't even know anyones name. When we first moved in i noticed there was an elderly lady living in a bungalow oppiste. When we had bad snow, even though i walked with a stick back then, i knocked at her door to ask if she was ok and did she want us to get her some shopping as we were on our way to the supermarket. She seemed annoyed that i had knocked and practically slammed the door in my face. I have given up since!! I love to help people and i love to belong to a community where everyone mucks in together. Doesn't seem to exist around me. Maybe its me!!? I must look like an axe murderer or suchlike
