Why do you stay at videohelp?????

[Roundabout]

The drama in OT is the best I've seen in any forum...I keep coming back to see what's gonna happen next... also you'd miss me if I was gone (yeah, right) :P

I come for the chicks




Working in a tech support role means I'm quite adept at holding peoples' hands through scary, scary stuff like creating shortcuts on their desktops, etc etc. I guess helping is just in my nature, and I have a keen interest in video and so when the two collide, here I am.

Along with wanting to bring down the reign of the infamous TGPO, I come for the great Lobster Bisque. Best anywhere.

If I try to leave, they'll kill me.

Though "the bomb" still has made brief appearances... I wonder what happened to Babyboo.....

I don't think anyone considers me a chic around here anymore Yoda. I'm just one of the guys.

I believe he was being sarcastic.

Hi,

Now back on topic: Why do you stay at videohelp?

Ok I know this is frowned upon know but its appropriate here - to quote myself:

. It has so much info in it that you can read forever and still not be an expert on every topic in video production. Once I found OFF TOPIC I've ventured less and less into the main forums but I still try to contribute when I can.

The people I've met here in OT have been very nice for the most part. The list is long and cherished. And for those I've actually spoken too via skype has meant a lot too. Its the companionship you get when you converse with someone over the months and weeks....

I belong to a few smaller forums but this is by far one of the most active per capita.
Some places hide stuff and increase what you can view based on the amount of your cash donations or in some cases at the discretion of the administrators and mods.

I joined one site not long ago using another ID (not stricty video related). They have been around over a year and have a fair number of users. The top 5 users have a few thousand posts, the next 10 are in the hundreds and the next 10 users drop down to about 25 posts. The majority of the users are from 1 too 25 posts. Within 3 days and without really trying I have made it to the top 25 posters and I haven't posted in a few days because I felt like my posts were dominating different areas of the forum too much. 5 days later my posts (comments and new threads) have still not been added to and my userid still shows as last poster in almost all recent threads. The mods are not participating at all. 2 of the mods have 30 to 35 posts each. I saw threads appealing for members to post but if the admin and mods won't answer feedback threads or keep things alive by just adding something to a thread that forum may die soon. I suspect that the few who were contributing the most have gotten frustrated and left.

This is what makes this place so great. The level of meaningful activity and the variety of comments and personalities keeps the place fresh and new. The administration and moderators are involved and help to keep things moving.

Considering your conversations here, and probably moreso over at the pub... You're definitely one of the guys AND you're definitely still a chick...

(and I do mean that as a compliment...)

[Shadowmistress]

Aw, shucks, thanks SD.

(How did I manage to be both? That's a new one for me. )
