JUST SAYIN IS ALL...

there are a few goons on tdub

i personally don't have the time to follow both, keepin it local

9/16/2008 12:53:41 AM

^^ well, FYAD/GBS is like TWWx1000

but on the whole, they're decent people

and their forums are moderated much better than TWW ever will be, which helps a lot

[Edited on September 16, 2008 at 12:58 AM. Reason : the cooking, movies and book forums are ftw]

I get a kick out of the family-friendly word filters

it makes some sentences so ridiculous

9/16/2008 12:59:09 AM

A real person from the LHC chiming in and educating some fools.

yeah, being one of the largest message boards on the internet, you're bound to get more smart and talented people (the photoshop and drawing threads in GBS rarely disappoint) around

the downside is that there are also more morons, unforunately

thank god they got rid of the porn forum, that's what was driving the quality down for a long time

I want to agree, but yet I can't.

SA is actually TOO big. I don't want to read through a thread of 10000 posts to get the jist of it. and by the time I would actually decide to post, there would already be like 5 people who say the same thing.

but ya, lurking is alright. I head over there occasionally.

9/17/2008 2:11:36 PM

Well I was featured on there once....so YUP

9/17/2008 2:21:59 PM

I have long said that TWW is the training ground for SA.
Goons, please PM me, I'm looking for something a bit old on the SA site, but I can't find it.
