A Plea/Request

[seabee]

Well, I think I'm a regular...or maybe more an "irregular"..depending on who you ask! I don't drink beer (I can hear the gasps now ) and I don't know what kungaloosh tastes like..so the jury is still out on that.
That being said, I've never felt offended or put off by the drinking references. If I'm not interested, it isn't that hard to scroll past them. I do agree that the chit-chat should remain in the approriately named thread. Only I would invite those who don't post as frequently to come and chat also. I very much enjoy looking at the photos and enjoy some commentary regarding them..although pages without photos..sort of defeats the purpose of the photo thread.

I think that most questions posed by new commers to the board are answered in a friendly and welcoming manner. Some people even choose to stick around, because they don't just get a quick answer..they get an OPINION. They may want to know what a good loop is..but they won't just get a generic Disney approved answer. They will get an answer from someone who has stayed in that loop with three kids and a grandma. They are going to wind up knowing exactly how many steps to the comfort station it is, and they may even find photos of that site from all angels. You want to know what the bathrooms are like?....We're gonna have someone that has pictures of the bathroom.(okay..that's wierd .but we have 'em anyway) It's what makes this camping forum unique. We can have opinions. We don't all agree..and that's okay too. How boring would it be if we did? When someone doesn't know something..we have quite a few area residents who make it there business to go to FW and find out. We are like a real campground. People from various walks of life, all bringing something different to the table. We all have an interest in camping and specifically in FW. We have become virtual friends, and some of us have even been lucky enough to meet in person. We support one another in times of need, and rejoice in one anothers triumphs. We've even offended one another, but because we are more than an ordinary camping board, and those offended posses more grace than most..they also forgive. Some of us drink beer..and some of us don't.

If someone is looking for a quick answer...there are plenty of camping boards around where they can find them. Here you will find more. If you stick around on this board you are likely to find more than generic answers to ordinary questions.... you might even find something you weren't lookng for. Friends. (with opinions!)

Geez guys...I go camping for one weekend and miss all the fun !! There are too many good replies to quote them all. You know who you are and I totally agree...we are FAA-MI-LYY...I got all my sisters and me

I love this board and wouldn't change a think (except maybe more pictures less comments on the P.O.T.D thread)

For the record....

1- # of people I have on ignore= 0
2- # of drinks I've had this weekend= 0
3- # of times I've been offended here by fellow "regulars" = 0

I think this thread has run it's course. And, since it's not really a Fort Wilderness planning thread, I'm going to lock it up.

Happy Camping everyone!!
