OK, count the forums you belong to....

I've joined my latest today... a firefighting forum. My first post in the welcome room has 28 views, no replies on a VERY busy forum, like over 300 viewers in a room. I guess this makes about 7 I actually look at, probably twice that I've joined for various reasons.

I got to say this place is by far the friendliest place and the only outdoor forum I use for my interests, the rest are just to gain info on a vehicle or something. I do miss my motorcycle forum though, but since I sold my bike I pretty much said goodbye :(

Two that im active on and this one is by far the most friendly and inviting one. The other one has alot of ribbing and flaming going on for no other reason other than someone sitting behind a keyboard at home picking on people to make themselves feel better. Also belong to an ATV forum but havent been on that one in a while.

I am probably registered in about 10 or so (not exactly sure). There are two that I frequent on a regular basis and both are great family safe sites. It's this one and HuntingResource.com. I have seen a few members that co-frequent these two sites as well.

The other forums that I belong to are sites that I was required to register on in order to post questions and get responses back on my queries. I really don't post on them regularly, but I do from time to time pop in to see just see what's going on.

I registered on a couple archery sites (one traditional stuff mostly) as I was doing a refurbish project on an old recurve and required some decals and advice on doing some repairs. They were also great people on that site. Then I posted on an atv site to get some instructions and help on working on my argo and my son's Poliaris 4wheeler. Good info there too. I registered on a couple gun oriented sites to get some info on a couple guns I have. No shortage of helpful stuff there as well.

Of all the sites that I am registered on, there is only one that sometimes can be combative at times. I am extremely careful posting there to ensure my comments or observations aren't taken out of context. However, if you weed through the confrontational comments that linger from time to time, there is also a great wealth of knowledge held by the members there, but it is imperative that you need to be thick skinned at times and apply selective hearing / reading as well!

RT and HR - thumbs up to both!

At one time I was logging in and posting on 15 different forums. Now, only three get any attention, this being one of them. Some of them have too much BS with them, too many little clicks and groups within groups. Too many people that I found out to be a fake, or making them something they never were. Funny, people that need to blow up their image, to make them feel good about themselves I have no time for.
