I feel funny.

[BIG E]

Hey,

Well I am new here and just hit the "new members"section. Sent out a few welcomes and I have to say that I feel a little funny. I am new here as well and I am welcoming you to the board? HMMM

I am a member of another board where welcoming is commonplace, but I have been on the other board for awhile... just feels a little funny.


Thoughts?

I feel funny to but I think it's because I've been up for about 2 days! We're definitely a new site, went live about 13 days ago.

I feel funny.

You didn't eat the tater salad did you? That's been sitting in the sun all day.

I have a feeling this is going to be one of the "blue chip" gun sites soon - don't know what makes me say it, but see if I'm not right in a few months.

I've been on all of them for several years, but this'll be one of the first where I got in on the ground floor as it were.

For me, that funny feeling is like when you walk into a brand new church or school or restaurant while the paint is still wet and the carpet still makes your eyes water. It's empty and quiet and seems huge, but before you know it, it'll be noisy and crowded and full of energy. And there will be footprints on the carpet, crayon marks on the wall, and that weird smell in the corner that could be either last week's lunch special or Uncle Fred.

In other words, home.

We'll see how things turn out Joe. I know what you mean about that empty feeling. Until today its been REALLY empty! I'm exited seeing more and more people signing up. But I won't let the place turn into the wild wild west like I've seen some other forums.

I'm sure the popularity of this site will grow like a wildfire! I'm new like you guys, but hey, we're already the Vets around here! :D

Luke,

I think this style of forum with dedicated moderators will do fine.

That weird BBS style board and user "rating" points on PDO was what sent that forum spinning into the ground. A little chaos and energy is good, but that really turned ugly. It was like too small of a shark tank with too much chum.

I tell you, I've got a good feeling about this place.

Yea, I don't think any kind of ranking system will work. You'd always have someone abusing it.
