State of the forum

[ggiese]

By the way, Hex... Is this going to be a yearly thing now? The "State of the Forum" address?? I'm looking forward to it.

Yes . . . a very good forum and I am glad to have found it. Hex and all the oters are doing a great job.

One thing to keep in mind to avoind misunderstandings is that unlike live conversations we have no tone or body language to let the listener (or reader here) know how we intend to come across in a mesage. Black text can be very easily misunderstood and what is meant by the poster to be a simple statement or comment may appear to the reader to be hurtful, mean, spiteful (insert the insult). The use of punctuation (!,.,?etc.) and "smileys" ( , etc) will go a long way in getting your intended point accross.

I personally have learned this from using numerous forums on many different subjects.

Great job to all those who make this forum work.

I'm not going to do these on any set schedule. I did one last month as well. This is more of a "how I see the forum currently" type thread. State of the forum just popped into my head the first time I made this sort of post, so it stuck.
