i hop between half a dozen forums myself, each having there own brand of information and circle of posters to rely on. i typically find what im looking for (assuming ive arived in search of answers) by reading back-posts and searching the forums for other assorted tid-bits that usually come in handy. so most times i dont feel the need to post, or respond to many. so all the forums i visit are home i suppose. in one fashion or another. there are names and attitudes and personalities you sometimes hafta wade through to get to information. i feel there is alot of bad writing in tutorials these days. sometimes only (computer-based) human-interaction... such as a forum, can help bring to light the answers needed to questions a newbie has. it is our most powerful asset as a progy user-base... to get in touch with other users in a descreet, non-aggresive format which allows us to be open and free to share with whomever, wherever they may be. im just here to read and learn... i have my life and friends in reality... ~;)
