The very fact that you guys asked this question speaks volumes about why I like this board so much
I came from another board (which shall remain nameless). The primary reason I stopped posting there was the owner of the board was constantly espousing his dubious 'knowledge' that was vastly out of date
As to the likes;
As most others have mentioned...the people! This is hands down the most helpful, friendly bunch I've run across in the online adult biz.
The huge volume of quality information available.
The mix of legit business information with a good flavoring of 'fun' stuff.
The ability to actually conduct business with people that are by and large trustworthy. Those that aren't trustworthy are promptly |bus|
I really don't think new folks get bashed unduly. Many of the folks here go out of their way to help newbies. The bashing only seems to start when a newbie attempts to change long established norms and doesn't accept it when they're informed that the topic has been discussed at length previously.
Dislikes;
About the only thing that comes to mind is that the board search seems to return irrelevant results sometimes.
All that said, I'll take this opportunity to publicly say thanks not only to GG & J (because they deserve it)...but also to all those who make this board what it is...simply the best place to be for free site builders and link list owners
