I agree with that also.
The only thing is that the atmosphere doesn't always stay so inviting and welcoming, as you may expect it to be. There's very likely going to be some bitter arguments between members in this forum every now and then, which is something I do not feel driven away by, personally. That's just the way it is. And some people like that, and some people don't.
