What has AtheistForums.org meant to you?

[max-greece]

Well, I had been a regular over at AF.com, and every once in a while, I would see this site, too, maybe by typing in the wrong extension (.org), but then I'd go back to .com.

I think at some point, I became dissatisfied with the social culture over on that site. Either the conversations were too deep for my comfort, or it was just a bunch of people cracking jokes at eachother's expense. My sense of humor is just different.

I just feel more accepted here. It's less cliquish. I can be me and not try to be somebody I'm not.

I started at AF.com as well and went through a 3 week period where I could not access the site at all. In looking around the web for info on it (I thought it had gone dark) I found this place, checked it out, spotted an old buddy from EvilBible.com and signed up. I later learned the problem with .com was on my end and that I could access it using a proxy server. But going back after having gotten comfortable here was impossible. The board software was lousy in comparison and the general level of discussion was spotty. Whatever problem I was having cleared up after a month or two but the damage was done. I'm definitely just a part timer at .com now.

And you think all of that happened through random chance? It just so happened you had a problem accessing the other site just long enough to get established here?

Obviously God wants you on here Min - I don't know why you haven't seen that. LOL.
