I know exactly what you mean by "being lost without coming to see everyone here". I have been a Forum Member at another place for 4 years now. This place is nothing like that other place.
On here, We all talk about anything, have fun, share personal stories, humor, advice,.......hell, you name it, I think it's been on ECF. The other place....very drab. Everyone is stuck up. Nobody shares info,and it seems like one big contest to see who is the best, except they don't give out a prize. I've been a member there for 4 years and to this day I don't think I've made a single REAL friend. I haven't signed in there since a month before I joined here, and for kicks I signed in lastnight. I didn't have one PM asking "Where have you been? Are you okay?" Nothing. I did have several requests to release the GUI for the media center I am working on. Nobody wanted to help me get it finished, when I needed the help, but they wanna reap the benifit of using it.
ECF has taken over that place in me that made me check that other Forum like a mad man.......and I'm sooooooooooo glad. At least here, almost everyone cares, and ain't just out to get what I have.
Thanks ECF....Thanks Members.......Thank GOD I found this place!!!!
