Another forum

[adamanteus]

Hi All,

I recently joined another forum, dealing with a whole different group of reptiles. This other forum (which I'm not going to name ) works pretty much like ours, even looks the same. But there's one major difference; It's so unwelcoming! I posted a thread introducing myself in the usual sort of way....no replies! I looked on the "Who's online" link, and saw both Moderators reading my thread, even they didn't reply! Either my introductions stink, or this other forum is pig-ignorant! Looking back through some of their old stuff I found threads started by long-standing members that had gone unanswered.

It just made me realise how fortunate we are to have a forum like this one. So, three cheers for Thamnophis.com and all it's lovely members!

I agree whole heartedly. I tried a few forums before this, and the best I got was Repticzone, which was alright.. but so many people don't know what they're talking about.. Gah! And that was the BEST!

Anyway, Yes! Wonderful forum. Thanks everyone!

What was your name on repticzne? I've been on there forever but I don't use it much anymore because it's basically a bunch of new people who have caught a snake and ask the same questions over and over again. And then there's the n00bs who try to argue with you when you have to correct their incorrect advice..

James,

I also realize what an unusual collection of people that are on this forum. I can't explain it, but there's definitely something different about the experienced and friendly people here!

There is, I'm quite protective about it now! I always eye the "guests" with some suspicion!

I think this forum attracts people who are well educated because of the fact that garters require some independent thinking to bring us to admire them... in other words, if you are on a forum for a reptile that is commonly kept, popular, worth more money, etc, that forum will attract a different group of people.

We on this forum have to be intelligent and independent enough to be interested in, admire, and therefore keep, a less popular group of species that are not run of the mill...!
