Hi Pingtimeout


Yet another brilliant person joins us. We are so blessed. You are a great example to all of us. Clearly a strong and steady person. I look forward to hearing more of your journey as it unfolds.


Peace and love

Ryan, thanks for your kind words…


I’m amazed at how accepting people are on here… not something I’m used to elsewhere. 🙂

I know what you mean….some forums are toxic…..full of angry people feeding each other with more to be angry about |( |( |(

I’ve always been of an opinion that online sites have a certain culture. Three elements seem to go into making that culture: good planning from the start by the founders; good ongoing moderation and maintenance and a sound and clear (but not overly restrictive) policy; and a community of people who come to feel at home in the culture and are welcoming to similarly-intentioned newcomers. This is about my 3rd such site in 14 years, I think, so well done.


You sound like you’ve seen one of the forums I left in the mid-00s. Full of racist, sexist pondlife with a complete intolerance for inconvenient facts which get in the way of their narrative of the world (and for those who bring them to their attention). Given I was only there for entertainment chatter, it wasn’t long before I found a more … middle-of-the-road site.

I think we can safely say we tick all the boxes……thanks.


…..and thanks to all those who’ve contributed to making this happen.
