If there was a contest between forums, Austin would win hands down in any category. Informative, patient, kind, respectful.


And I made that observation over time but especially when I see how kind you are to a poster that I would have labeled a troll.

I haven't been on many of these forums, from what I've seen, you are absolutely right. There is the occasional ad hominem attack, and there are a few posters I've come to expect nastiness from, but overall the Austin forum is very upbeat with relatively little "drama" (thank goodness!)

Yes, it's downright tame compared to some and it doesn't seem to require daily moderator interference like some. On the other hand, I have to go to other forums to get my share of daily drama.

Yes, the Austin forum is about the best I've seen. And I've been doing online communities since the days of dial up BBS services.
