When the core group first started on this message board we wanted to set the tone as a good place to come meet people and share ideas. We didn't want it to turn into another one of those sleezy message boards which are so numerous on the web. Most of the original members here had come over from Alison's message board and we were already a kind of community. We knew each other pretty well and were able to interact on a fun and happy basis. This message board is the result of our family type of community that we formed. And we're happy to welcome new members into the community.
