So having read some of the replies here it appears that the image of the 'other' forum is artificially sweet. Fair enough the administrator can run the site as s/he likes, but surely it's unfair to allow negative comments about us CFers (ha ha) while censoring other posts when they get a bit more... controversial? After all, if they're going to be the 'nice forum' then they should be 'nice' about everything.
I completely agree with Lana's comments about us being far more diverse than the other fora in terms of the membership, and I think it's this diversity that makes us the best. We have every opinion you can think of on here and I think the best part is that some of us can knock lumps out of each other in the CyProb section but can still share a joke or talk about other stuff in 'General' before we go back to trying to poke each other's eyes out.
Besides, I thought the whole point of the internet is to allow us to communicate with other people beyond our immediate surroundings. After all, if I want to talk to my neighbours, then why not go and see them in the local pub/kafeneion instead?
