I've been a member of this forum for a lot less time than some others, but I've spent more time here than any of the rest combined. Why? This is, to me, the single best place to come for information about upcoming releases, as well as solutions to FS problems. Most people here are friendly and fairly understanding, and everyone here seems compassionate. Some of the other sites seem to attract more of those folks who are quick to jump on your case and ridicule you when you post with an issue, rather than help you try to solve it. I, for one, will truly miss it if it goes, but then again I might not have as much baggage from here as some.
My two pfennigs' worth.
