Just wanted to say Thanks

TribalRats · 10-06-2005, 10:00 AM

Thank you all this great forum. I have been involved in MANY forums over the years and it always seems to me that people end up bickering and getting nasty. While I am sure things like that have taken place here from time to time overall this is seems to be bunch of well adjusted people who are involved in lively debates and helpful discussions on dog related (and some not dog related) topics.
I love it. Really love it. I have never felt more welcomed by an entire group of people or more validated (right or wrong) on my opinions and ideas. People have been mostly respectful in there debating tactics and I love to see the different ways in which we all look at the same subjects.
Any how, kind of sappy I know but I felt I needed to say it.
Thanks, for providing a place for people to come and express themselves, gain priceless info. and ask questions that would otherwise go unanswered.
Great job.

OK I will shush now.

I totally agree with you. I have only been on one other board (in the years of interneting) that had cool people and they only became cool after we all fought each other...lol (it was a fansite for a band). Anyhow, This board has entertained me and educated me alot. I come here every day, sometime several times a day.
You all Rock!!!

I really enjoy this board as well. I'm certainly not as active as most other members, so I can by no means take credit - mostly I'd just like to voice my thanks as well. Everyone here is friendly and welcoming, willing to offer help and advice unselfishly, and debates are handled in a mature and intelligent manner. Thanks to all of the regulars!

Sayuri, give youorself some credit. You are a great debator and you help to make this place what it is.

I would be one to have no right to throw my input in here but because I don't get here much but of what I have seen so far is a great group of people. I was just telling a friend about how friendly you all are & how helpful with information, etc. I belong to one other SMALL forum and we are like a little family there. I hope to get to know all of you better & can one day join your family. What a wonderful thread you started TR! Hope you all have a great day.

Hi Tribalrats!

I haven't talked with you directly in the threads yet, but you are so right! This is a wonderful site and forum!

I have also learned a lot from all of the different viewpoints and find most everyone consistantly making an effort to be kind and open minded, even when we don't agree. Sometimes it seems like the united nations of the dogworld here!

There is also a lot of forgiveness when someone makes a mistake, or says something out of fear or miscommunication...or in my case, diplays a rather twisted sense of humor. Not my fault! I learned it from my dogs!

I feel I've made many friends, and coming here is part of my daily routine which I find I've missed terribly the few times this site has been down!

You are all wonderful!

Shadowkins · 10-07-2005, 07:30 AM

I agree with all of you! It's a great place to chat with friends and learn all kinds of things.
Thanks TribalRats , you expressed my feelings exactly!!

Tiffany0204 · 10-07-2005, 08:32 AM

awwwwwww.... group hug!!!!!

I've noticed the same thing, alot of other forums people get nasty or brag about how long they've been somewhere, or how many posts they have, but here it's really all about the dogs. I love it.
