Welcome! I started on these boards when we were JUST beginning planning our December 2007 trip, and dh found the secret green club (if you have a lot of time and like to laugh, I HIGHLY recommend the first version of the thread). I jumped in there and started posting, and now consider those folks good friends, several of which I have met IRL now too. Then I branched out to the rest of the community board, and have gotten to know some awesome people over the past several years. I am not the most prolific, especially not here, as I tend to "chat" on facebook as much as anywhere and have a number of DISers as facebook friends as well. There were times that I rarely posted and times that I have posted quite frequently, but I always come back to the DIS. I am frequently on the theme park board, Uni/Seaworld boards as well as on the CB. It is probably wrong, but I really enjoy reading those "controversial" threads. Its fun to me to see how worked up some folks can get.
