Wow I hadn't realized that we had hit another record for the most users on at a time. What was the reason this time?

many come initially because they need tech support, but after a while you just enjoy being here and integrate with the community :popcorn:

I agree. This is the best technology community (in terms of friendly members) there is. I think the main reasons for this are that:


a) There are a lot of very intelligent people here. Not only are people intelligent, but they show this intelligence through their maturity and respect for one another. There are a lot of older members here because young people like me typically do not have the initiative to expand their horizons. This only really starts at University/College, and so there seems to be a lot of people of this age group.

b) Everyone has a similar mindset towards technology and so can relate to one another easily.

c) Trolls get bored very quickly as their posts do not create the extent of mudslinging that they desire. This is thanks to both the mature community and excellent mods who understand when it's best to lock threads.

Everyone else probably had the same thought :popcorn:

I remember I first came here because in my experience receiving help from your peers is better than reading a wiki. However I also like helping others, and this place is littered with intelligent folk that also like a good argument.
