lol. If post count is what got us into the site staff, you'd be in there way before me.

Saruman... the whole project must have been a roller-coaster. What would you say your worst moment was ?

I know when my Worst Moment was....Lottie, tiggs and I were on MSN and Saru was needed on UM urgently. It was the middle of the night UK time and I called and woke him up

I'm pretty sure Lottie and tiggs only voted for me to call him because I was the furthest away <.<

A few questions for the PTB.

First, members here have recently (last year or two from my experience) taken a more critical approach to the mysteries presented here. Would you say that UM has become a more scientific minded site with healthy skepticism being the norm? And would this be considered a good or bad turn for unexplained phenomena? What do you think the future holds for some of these phenomena (and the site) if the current trend holds?

PS. This is by far my favorite site, keep up the good work Saru and crew.

Thanks for the encouraging comment slave2fate   - I would say UM offers a place for those who fall into "all domains" in expressing and discussing ideas and experiences of metaphysics, paranormal and the unexplained. I would say it depends what section of the site you are most interested in or spend time in as to what the answer would be. And that to be fair is the beauty of it. You can't define it overall as this or that.

Healthy scepticism is something we always encourage and welcome as much as anything as opposed to the opposite which is only destructive. At the same time we are a open discussion forum that houses any discussion or topic within reasonable grounds.

To anybody ( Saru, Mods ):

Are you aware if the Forum ever had any "Famous" members ?? ( Investigators, authors, Stanton Friedman )

I believe I banned a man who claimed to be Penn from Penn and Teller. He was just incredibly rude to the other members of the forum.

I second this motion!

Saru or any Moderators, I have a question.

Have there been any topics that you have agreed with, or at the least were led into deep thought over?

I certainly have and I think most of us do. I'm skepticall about a lot of things. But I believe in an afterlife and some psychic abilities. So threads when we have discussed these topics in a scientific manner with some highly inteligent people have been some of my favorites. I also apreciate skeptisism a lot more because of U.M. and the questions people have put forward.

Also the defining of Time is one that still gets me thinking.

The irony of the paradoxes involved with time is that time itself is a paradox.

I do say that I enjoy discussions of that nature. Thank you for answering me.
