Well I just joined this board today, and figured I would introduce myself.

Tell me a little about this place.

I'm very familiar with forums, just not anything like this.

papa_smurf. No you will not ever find any like this. A great place to get answers and problem solving. I am on several other boards and usually call this one home. Are you building anything?

Not currently, construction and such isn't new to me, but the tiny homes and compact living made a spark in my head. The first thing that got me inerested was an ad for Jamaica Cottage Shop.

Welcome to the forum, Papa Smurf.

So -- familiar with forums that are not like this one. Would you mind telling us what you think is different about this one. Many of us are still trying it figure it out.

Thanks.

I am a member of forums for: paintballers, airsmiths, metal plating, and machinists.

Also most of my forums use vBullieten software

Papa Smurf. You mentioned you where a member of several other forums. Are you a member of any health clubs, political action groups or terrorist organizations? Did you or have you ever voted for G. W. Bush? If so would you do so again? Oh and...

Welcome to the forums.

Welcome to the forums.

Health clubs-No.
Political Action Groups-nope.
terrorist org.-I gave that up a while back

Bush? Yes, remember, "Kerry wins, you LOOSE!"

It was a rigged lose/lose situation, Papa Smurf - you couldn't help it. Besides the vote tampering. You didn't have a chance.

Don't listen to Stinkerbell -- she always picks on poor little ol' me.

...and regarding V-bulletin, we were YaBB and were losing data. The jump to V-bulletin wasn't easy, but the SMF was easy and seems to work great. I'm on a V-bulletin forum but maybe because of familiarity or maybe the way it's set up, I like this one better -- but still similar.

Smurf, hmm sounds familiar. Do you know a gal named Snow White?... $:-\$ ... no that's not it -- it was Dwarf.... nevermind.

StinkerBell · January 30, 2008, 10:30:17 PM

RED DWARF?

Nah, none of that. You watch too much TV.

Yeah, it's all in what you are used too. All my other forums are vBull, I'm used to it so my brain sorts this all out slower. It is similar however.

I don't watch TV, Stink so haven't watched it. I was just thinking of the 7 short guys that lived with Snow White.

StinkerBell · January 30, 2008, 10:42:16 PM

One woman living with seven men?

tsk tsk tsk tsk
