I often ask that myself. I tried a few forums before but got fed up wiv da text if ya nar wot I min man.

I enjoyed the forum of a certain music download site but again got fed up with the ranting racists and dickheads at every turn.

Dont mind controversy but its nice for the forum to temper the extreme view so the rest of us can have a good old chinwag

Cheeky mate. I don't have a pronounced Dublin accent.

But something like Our/Your own Terry Wogan.The Irish are not so keen on Forums or the Internet for that matter. They prefer live Wine,Women and Song. Its a pity really.

I was an active member of another site, now my status on that site is inactive because they won't delete me. I understand the reason that if I am deleted then 'they' win, but I don't like it.

This site has debate, it has it's pain in the arses too, but if things get out of hand then people also get deleted/banned whatever.

It's peacefull in the garden and that's what is nice.

I am a proud member of ff which I love for it's lack of moderation supporting of freethought and great set of people who post there.

I am just trying the garden on for size some of the people here I know from there.

I used to go to iidb all the time but I grew tired of it. I still post occassionally there, but I feel no sense of community there.

I do like the garden and the posters I have interacted with thus far have been very cool.

I still lurk and occasionally post to a couple other forums, as well as several news groups. I like The Garden, but it's not my total Internet activity or interest.

This was my first forum so I'm really attached to it. If I feel the need to say something that doesn't seem appropriate here then I go to FF. It is like having a few different friends that you hang out with depending what you feel like doing. I value both. That some of the friends are in both places is just like RL. Sometimes you get injokes that confuse other people or just sound dumb. I like keeping it to a small number of forums because "sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name" and that is nice.

Can I be really thick and ask what FF is, I mean it's like me saying SW or FP, do any of you know what they are ???
