Forum Testimonials

admiralu · 19 Nov 2002, 05:05 AM

I have noted that other email forums here have a testimonials section. Why not one for our forum itself?

I discoverd this forum when Visto.com went under and FastMail was an alternate email mentioned. Since then, I have met many new wonderful people from around the world, learned about great new sites and features and had a great time reading the interesting posts. Thanks to Edwin for creating this home on the web where we can share our experiences, suggestions and ideas. I am proud to be a member here!

This forum is great!!!

I've made this thread sticky, so that it can be the "official" testimonials thread...

**JeffK** · 19 Nov 2002, 04:14 PM

Thank you Edwin! I thought we should have a spot to brag on the forum itself!

I wandered in here almost a year ago and sometimes it seems like I haven't logged off yet. I'm on here way, way too much and I never get tired of it.

In a few weeks, I'm leaving the job I've been at for the last 9 years, because the job is moving across the country and I'm staying where I am. I think I have the next job lined up, and it's either not going to include internet access at all, or certainly not the freedom to hang out on a forum a good part of the day. I'll be checking in at night and on the weekends, but I'm sure going to miss being able drop in whenever I want to.

This forum is sometimes like a soap opera. It's kind of funny.

I spend way too much time here but it is definitely fun time.

redmyrlin · 20 Nov 2002, 11:34 PM

I spend a good deal of my time working away from home. Since I found this forum some 8 months ago it has played a large part in keeping me entertained during the long and lonely nights on the road.

It's a good place to share and to pick up tips.

It's the only forum that I currently participate in.

This forum rocks! It's my first email forum I posted in and will definately be my last.

I am not the most web savvy person in the world. I'm 'intermediate', I guess...I can find my way around the web, look up info, know most of the internet techical terms, etc. But there are a lot of things I don't know. However, I know that when I DO have an internet-related question, I can come here and I don't have to worry about being mocked. I am sick of going to forums, posting questions, and getting, "You don't know THAT? What's wrong with you?/You're a moron!"

So, I appreciate all the help here...I really do!

**psalzer** · 16 Dec 2002, 11:32 AM

I agree. You don't feel you have to be defensive here at all. It's a nice community and full of people who know all kinds of stuff and will share.

admiralu · 17 Dec 2002, 12:34 AM

That is so true about many forums. People should not mock others for asking a question, that's how we learn. I love reading about new goodies here!

fastashell · 15 Jan 2003, 02:14 PM

Chalk me up as another happy forum user.

COUME · 27 Feb 2003, 06:53 PM
