For instance, I have been told that this forum was more receptive (less hostile/dismissive) of those sharing paranormal and/or spiritual experiences. What changes have you seen here and what do you most like about the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted January 22, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I've been here quite a long time.... I started on night shift when I started at Intel, and been here ever since. I think that it has been just around 10 or 11 years now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what I like most now, is the "like" system. Allows you to show you like something without having to "waste" an entire post. Otherwise posting opinions and facts and arguing with idiots (people who don't agree with me) is pretty much the same now as then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What changes have you seen here and what do you most like about the forum? I'd say that in the early days, more then 6 or 7 years ago, there were less heavy handed skeptics and more people posting lots of random and sometime crazy stuff. As the years have gone by, the majority of posts have become more academic, and less fantastical. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only been here a few months now but I like the diverse number of topics covered on this forum. The like system is a good way of seeing who agrees with you or, in my case, finds me funny - I like to have a laugh in the status updates quite often! I don't regard those who disagee with me as 'idiots' though since I am open to having my view corrected i.e. I am a realist that favours the truth rather than bolstering beliefs. In fact, my one criticism of this forum is that there could be a lot more openmindedness, given the title of the forum! Do you feel you are the font of all knowledge then?

+DieChecker Posted January 22, 2017 #16 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) HA. Well, not all of them are idiots. Some are just misguided, or simply wrong. (According to me. ) But read what is written under my avatar.... "Hey, I'm not wrong. I'm just not completely right. " I'm not a font of all knowledge, but usually if I do post, I know something about what I'm writing down. Not everyone that posts here can say the same, I think.

rashore Posted January 22, 2017 #17 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I haven't been here quite 10 years yet. But a lot of people that had been active members over 10 years ago still were members when I first joined. A bunch of them are gone now for various reasons. If you are wondering about anyone in particular, look them up 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a lot of people claim a lot of stuff over the years. My personal favourite was a time traveller although I will give honourable mention to the psi-kids, wolves, vampires, energy vampires, star-children and aliens. I'm not sure about the messiah types though. Oh! I like bigfoot too What I don't like is people who keep trying to get this whole skeptic/believer forum warfare thing going. This is a discussion forum if you are going to make a claim either back it up or don't get hurt feelings if no one believes you. 2 hours ago, sees said: For instance, I have been told that this forum was more receptive (less hostile/dismissive) of those sharing paranormal and/or spiritual experiences. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorybebe Posted January 22, 2017 #21 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Almost 10 years for me. Looking back over the years I think the forums have become more political. There are a lot of times I just skip over threads and don't post for long periods because nothing interests me. I joined because of the paranormal aspects of the forum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site has also taught me to not only pick my battles better, but to know who will just aggravate me to no end and avoid their posts. I don't want to be intolerant, but I will admit to avoiding threads or comments if certain people post. Not all of us will get along and agree on all topics, but it seems there are people who get off on being bullies. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
