Well....yes....I have ventured out of the "home turf" and tippy-toed over to a couple ww forums. My experiences?
SMC, WC and Wood appear to be tops of the internet ww forums. There are LOTS of others out there that are doing fairly well. I stumbled onto a ww forum where the 2nd post in most forums was from Jan 2004 and most messages were scattered over many months. A question was asked in June 2003 and answered in Nov 2003...and the ONLY reply to that message.!!! I registered on that forum, posted a few posts and got ZERO responses and ZERO feedback and not even a HOWDY.!!!!!!
No wonder they have over 2100 registered members but only 1 or 2 people EVER on the forum in any given 24 hour period.
Now, don't go and get me wrong on any of this. There are a LOT of other ww forums out there that are doing very well. I just haven't experienced a WELCOME by any that I have joined. I guess I'll be another one of those registered members that never goes back.
Makes one very thankful for SMC, WC, Wood, Woodnet and TheWoodworkers forums for being friendly, kind, curtious and considerate.
I guess I could say that venturing out from "home turf" was like traveling back overseas again ALONE and nobody to talk to or see and can't speak the language. I guess I'll just have to stay "at home" and enjoy my real family and friends. :D
